Matilda: sorry I'm so messy on camera Also Matilda: paints each nail perfectly

"Why would I pay someone else to paint them when I enjoy it so much I do it for free??" 😂😂😂 My mood exactly! I can totally relate! 🙌🏻💅🏻

About to order olive and June : OnLy To ThE uS

Your nails always look simple, classy, and on point, so I'm so excited for this video!

Another couple of tips to make your mani last longer : Always seal the free edge of the nail when applying each coat of base, colour and top coat. This way there are no chips. I understand this will be easier to do for those who have longer nails. Another one would be to make sure there's a gap between the lower edge of the polish and cuticle, and making sure the top coat is closer to the cuticle than the polish is. This will prevent shrinkage, which is common with quick-dry top coats :)

I love the little box you have your items in!

I got an Olive & June set over Black Friday because of your recommendation, did my nails 9 days ago and they still haven't chipped! I'm shooketh!! Thank you so much!! ❤️

I absolutely love the trick of not filling the whole nail with color & leaving a tiny gap on the sides so it elongates the shape of the nails! I have slightly wide nails so this tip is so helpful!! Thank you Matilda ❤️

I’m actually painting my nails while watching this so this is really exciting!!!

me : ok i have nothing to buy anymore, time to save up matilda : me : I NEED THESE

I would love to see a video on your favorite nail polish brands. I have never heard of someone really liking high end/ luxury brand nail polish, usually the opposite. The idea is that even if they look good- they aren't worth it for the price, or that they are worse than the cheap drugstore ones. So hearing what you like specifically about the chanel and Burberry polishes would be great.

I was literally commenting on your last video about your manicure and BOOM this is in my notifications. Awesome!

I paint my nails like twice a year, hopefully with these tips I can actually use my nail polishes more often!

I just turned 13 and i started using nail polish after i recovered from my nail biting habit. Im so overwhelmed about how fun it is to paint and design your own nails 😆. I let my nails grow and heal before i started applying nail polish for the first time. These kinds of videos absolutely helped me gain will and patience to stop biting my nails. Now, my nails look normal (from my perspective) and healthy! 🥰

There's only one polish shade for me: Midnight in Moscow by OPI. Its darkest brown with the very slightest hint of shimmer. Anything else feels like a compromise! I'm so thrilled to see short, dark nails getting attention. To me, it's the most sophisticated, flattering look on pale hands. This video will be my absolute go to, thanks so much Matilda and a very merry (weird, hot, sunny) Christmas to you!

Yes I’m a hand cream addict 😂

Thank you so much for this! I was previously wedded to OPI Nail Envy as my base coat but was only getting a day or two of non-chipped nails. I’ve switched over to the Orly Rubberised base and it’s incredible - I’m getting a week of no chips and actually having to remove my nail polish because I’m bored of the colour rather than because I have to! Buffing my nails has been another useful added step that seems to extend the chip-free wear even further. What a brilliantly helpful video.

An 11 minute video?! Gosh you're spoiling us! XD

Your makeup vedio makes me so happy, like no drama, just makeup

It always take me like an hour to two to paint my nails and it never ends up as good as yours :'^|

This was so satisfying to watch. Please show us your favourite polishes. ✌️❤️

I got Olive & June polish because of you and my nails have looked perfect for about a week and a half now 😍

i love how you respond to every single comment, it's so sweet

I know it's been a year but just wanted to express my gratitude. I have had such a hard time with at home manicures and this routine was simple to follow at home. My results, while not as chic as yours, are definitely better than they have been in the past. Practice will make progress. Thank you again! 💅

i usually get so anxious watching someone push their cuticles back, let alone do it myself. for some reason after watching you do it, i went ahead and did it myself without any anxiety. lol thank you

Im not at all a nail person, yet im watching u😅 i feel like im addicted to your soothing voice and asthetic... I ended up downloading and watching other videos all over again..👀😁😄

I’ve been shellacing my nails for about 10yrs and I most definitely do a better job than the salon, the main reason I started and I absolutely love it. It’s such a great way to decompress at the end of the night and it always helps me feel more put together! 🤍

Love it! I've saved sooo much money painting my own nails for a decade! My natural nails grow fast and are pretty strong and I enjoy at home manicures. It drives me mad when I see people not using base and top coats and then complaining about chips! I always get asked about my nails because I don't tolerate chips or bare nails, really, lol.

Best mani tutorial I’ve ever seen. Exactly what I needed. 💖

Oh Matilda, i've been following since the beginning. I've discovered so many products because of you! I followed this routine today and oh my god, i can feel the difference already. Thank you so much!.-Ximena

why are all your videos so bloody aesthetical

Please do a video on your nail polish collection. So many colours in this video look amazing!!

"This is my non dominant hand now but sometimes it's neater than my right hand" Nope can't relate 😂🤷‍♀️

*You have such good nails, I’m obsessed with nail care and art and just wanna say i would die for ur nails.💜also I agree doing my nails is therapeutic*

I love how fresh and natural your beauty aesthetic is! I hope to see short, healthy manis make a comeback

Even though I get acrylics because my nails have never grown for me or break I still enjoy watching this video. Your nails always look perfect and to do it on camera so perfect is amazing!

I rarely do my nails and the last time I got my nails done was 2 years ago for my brother's wedding. I only clip my nails and keep them naked. After watching your video, I want to paint my nails again... Your nails look flawless and very feminine.🥰

Matilda, you literally taught me how to paint my nails! Thank you for this video :)

i want to see all those shade swatches

Ahhhh that straightening of the Polish bottle was sooo satisfying

Always fantastic being here!

I bought the equipment for gel nails (I can’t do normal polish, I’m too impatient) and I’m so so glad I did!! I’m at my 5th self-gel mani and getting better as I go. I totally agree that having your nails done make you feel so put together and overall good about myself :) I also love a deep red ❤️

I gasped when I saw Violette, I love her channel and her beauty philosophy so much! This video comes at a perfect time because I've just decided to quit acrylic nails for a few months and I am completely lost as to how to make a polish manicure last any reasonable length of time. Thanks so much for your tips!

There is something so soothing about watching being polished!! I do mine myself as well, never enjoyed someone else doing them. I’m too picky! One TIP from my grandma is to do all steps except the top coat in the evening before bed. Wait at least 10 minutes before retiring. When you wake & drink your coffee, put on the topcoat. This way every cost has plenty of time to dry & harden. No sheet marks & the a.m. topcoat dries fast. She did her nails once a week her entire life & did lots of typing at her job. Her nails always looked beautiful. My hubby bought me a special box for my manicure goodies. It’s one of the most thoughtful gifts!

This video is so helpful and I actually really enjoy watching people doing their nails 😂 Will love to see more about this topic!

This was lovely to watch. I’m still struggling to learn how to do my nails just right and really appreciate how this routine provides a nice tutorial to reference. Thanks for that

I like your video format. Reminds me of the original yt vids where they focus on content than personality.

Can't be thankful enough for your video. I am a professional pianist and have always wanted to learn but not any videos were useful for me. Your nail routine is absolutely perfect! Thanks for sharing with us❤️❤️❤️

New subscriber here ! Loving your channel XOXO

Now I really want to go paint my nails xD

Please do more nail vidios !! They are so satisfying and relaxing ! I literally watch this video and very night before I go to sleep 😂❤️

It’s so perfect!! Ahhh her life is just lovely

I just found you and your channel today and absolutely love your aesthetic - Immediately just HAD to subscribe/ring the bell. You completely relax my type-A personality and I even made an Olive & June purchase. I'm so ready to keep my nails clean, healthy, and beautiful thanks to you!

So satisfying to see clean fresh nails💖

I love your tip about leaving space at the bottom and sides... I find it looks a lot neater that way

Ever since I was little my grandmother was talking about how perfect her friend’s nails always look and that “the secret” was leaving a little space between the cuticles and the nail polish, so I’ve been doing it for the longest time and it really makes a difference

Omg yes!! Didn't know I needed this video until now! Love seeing you do a tutorial style video, it's like a one stop video with tips, a tutorial and review all in one. Love! 💖

Your voice, aghhhh it's amazing! I could listen to it all day

I totally agree about the self-care thing. I am a nail polish/art junkie, and after a long week of work I pull out my portable manicure table (Christmas present!), get all my tools, put a movie or sporting event on TV, and do my thing! ☺️💅🏻

Leaving a little gap at the sides of your nails is a game changer!

Your nails look amazing! The red polish makes me want to actually try it out! Also, did you think of doing an Essie nail polish collection video? I'd be down to watch. Like tell us your faves and what you like about them ❤❤

Yippee😁! I’ve always wanted your nail polish video! Bought few colors after watching your last videos and I absolutely loved it. Have a wonderful holiday and always enjoying your video, thank you😘🎄

An unsolicited tip: I put Dr. Paw Paw balm (Vaseline should do) around each nail, making sure to cover the cuticle area as well. When I get polish around/outside the nail, it’s much easier to wipe off because of the balm. Just be careful not to get balm on the nail itself though since the nail will need to be dry for the polish to adhere properly.

My weekend is now amazing Thankyou Matilda for making my weeks so special

yes! i’m so happy this uploaded!!

Loved this! I have never had a chip free experience with the Chanel gel top coat but have gotten amazing results from the ultra affordable KIKO Milano gel top coat. I would love to hear about your favorites!

I used to get shellacs every month for years, but when my favourite nail technician quit at the end of last year I took the chance to learn how to properly paint my nails myself. This video came precisely at the right time and now I find an at-home mani super relaxing and enjoyable 🥰 thank you so much, Matilda! Hope you’re safe and healthy!

I don't know why is this in my recommended, but i'm not complaining either :) your nails are so perfeeect!

I also enjoy doing my nails myself. When I discovered brand Dazzle Dry it totally changed my nail game. Since I had a kid I don’t have nearly as much time as I used to have for my nails. So it should be fast drying and long lasting and I do not want do gel or anything which can destroy my nails because naturally my nails are pretty good. So Dazzle dry is one of the best and I surprised not so many people on KZfaq talk about them

This was so helpful Matilda, I’m glad I discovered you in 2019. I do my nails myself too and I always get compliments on my nails and hands. 😉 Having presentable hands is always a must for me and looks feminine. Your colour choices are just like mine although I have just one red nail polish. ♥️😄 I need to invest into a good cuticle cream/serum this time. I always use creams after washing my hands and spf during the day. Use gloves during winter too. Much 💜 and thank you for this beautiful video as always.

bless you for listing the toolbox as well, it is absolutely adorable!

I love how aesthetically pleasing your mani is. I also got the Olive And June Top Coat because of you and I love it! It keeps my polish on for so long. I need it for at least 3 days since I get bored easily. And this is the first top coat that has ACTUALLY no chips. It’s so thin, too! I personally like it not too thick. For some reason mine is a sort of cheap chrome rather then a neutral white and olive green color. That’s why I HATE my mom’s which is the Sally Hansen gel like top coat. So thank you!

I've noticed some nail polish removers have oils in them, so if you do decide to paint it onto your nail before you use polish double check! If it has oil in the remover, it can have the opposite effect intended. Personally I prefer using rubbing alcohol for prepping my nails, but the smell can bother some people so it's really down to personal preference. Honestly, you don't need to use either of these options though your nails will look good if either way!

ahhh so glad you dropped this routine!!!

Thank you for making this video. It’s completely transformed how I do my nails now and my polish have lasted much longer than they used to with my old routine!

Hello Matilda! My name is Lara and I’m from Brazil. Really enjoyed watching your video and learning more about how women in other countries take care of their nails! I’m also a nail polish addict, since I learnt how to do my own manicure with my mom when I was only 12. My country is the second largest nail polish consumer in the world, right after the US, and we have excellent polish brands, such as Impala, Risqué and Colorama, that have been in the market forever. This last one, for example, has been there for 70 years! They are pretty inexpensive as well, comparing to European and American brands (around 0,60 Euros). I’m sure you’d love to know them! 😍💅🏻🇧🇷

Perfect mani tutorial! Loved seeing you go through your routine.

she makes me want to take care of myself

I still need to learn how to paint nails more neatly, because if you do it normally 30 min max, it could take me a full two hours because my painting is so messy XDD

I have never had my nails done in a salon but I love an at home manicure

I agree with the Essie dry drops 😅 it really just feels like oil and I can’t notice it helping anything dry faster. Personally I notice that it can even make my color coat streaky from the way the drops dry. Don’t bother, keep your money.

Omg, I also find it very satisfying to do my own nails!

just tried your method on not filling the entire nail bed with the polish and wow, what a game changer!!!

Have you ever tried holo, I know it’s not exactly your polished English rose vibe; but would be really curious to here your thoughts on it?

If I have nails like yours, I’d definitely start posing & stare at it instead of doing chores or practice piano lol. Neat video as always. Thank you!

I can't get a mání to last chip free any longer than 12 hours no matter what I try. I recently tried Essie Couture on your recommendation, I love the texture and brush type. I'd love to see your fave nail colours video, thanks, have a nice Christmas. 🎄🙏

Nevermind I wanna watch anything that has to do with nails.... I could listen to your voice all DAY!

I did my NEATEST EVER home mani following your video, even with a dark nail colour. 👏🏻 The buffing method worked so much better than cuticle clippers! So happy that I could now make good use of my nail polish collection. No need for nail salons any more!

Also the demonstration is really helpful.Thank you!

ORDERS EVERYTHING!!!!xoxo

Dior Apricote Nail Cream - Gamechanger for life! Last about two years and I love it. Nice Video 😊

Aesthics goalssssss 🤞🏽. & great way to capture your routine 🤗.

Okay I have a video idea to pitch: hair care routine?

Lmao I’m like 13 and I always do my nails on my own. SimplyNailogical is most of the reason I became a nail art psychopath, and I have a little over 100 bottles now. Right now I’m doing a tie dye design, so this is good entertainment

love it without ads. thanks, Matilda. !!

I keep coming back to this when I want to do my nails again ☺️

I wish I seen this before I started painting my nails 15 minutes ago

I love doing my own nails, I always get compliments. And I feel the same, why would I pay someone to do something I can do better and free? Also, a good tip is to do your thumbs last because you can use them to clean up around your nails while they’re still wet. A tip I leaned from Betina Goldstein, the best celebrity manicurist ever. Her designs are to die for! 😍

So satisfying Matilda! I loved this

I always do my non-dominant hand first just to take the pressure off lol. Great tip on re-applying the top coat, I’ve never heard that before, it makes perfect sense. So many colours of nail polish. I’ve decluttered my collection and have just kept my favourites.
