Matilda Manicure: Hydration | Favourite Cuticle Oils, Serums and Hand Creams | AD

[@evan_teo5482]

in terms of refillable nail oil pens, my go to is a pentel brush pen! they’re made for use with watercolours, so you can find them at any craft/art store and they come in a bunch of sizes! works basically the same as the nail specific ones except u squeeze the tube instead of clicking out the oil. it’s a nice crossover for my hobbies lol

[@matildaonvideo]

This is such a great suggestion! Thank you for sharing 💚 x

[@cor289]

i love how you mention the scents as well! i stick to fragrance-free products on my hands because of eczema but i imagine they smell heavenly!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Cordelia! Lots of fragrance-free favourites here ☺️👍 x

[@mrs.z1172]

Same hee, I only order fragrance free due to my daughter’s eczema and my husband allergies to odors , we can’t use perfumes here I imagine the wonderful smells ❤❤❤❤

[@theindoorkites]

Loved this! I wanna add: L'Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream is still my favourite hand cream of all time for my dry hands.. just so rich and gorgeous! The cuticle oil from the same collection is great too! (Also all their hand creams are just luscious aromatherapy as well as great for my hands.. i think i have like 20 different hand creams from them lol) Totally recommend everyone!

[@fjp9]

neutrogena norwegian hand cream has been my go to for over 20 years. worked in multiple places where frequent hand washing was required, and this hand cream worked consistently well for me and my coworkers. a little goes a long way. also putting on hand cream, vaseline, oil, etc at night and then putting on cotton socks or gloves can help when your hands or feet need some extra tlc.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you for sharing! Sounds like you've taken great care of your hands over the years ☺️👏 x

[@magn0lia_tree655]

Brilliant timing, since my hands and nails are so dry at the moment, nothing seems to work. Thank you, as ever, great video ❤

[@matildaonvideo]

Glad it was good timing for you! I hope it helps to give you some ideas ☺️💅 x

Your nails always look so healthy and well-groomed, plus, your nail colors are great! I’d love tips on how to paint your dominant hand using your non-dominant hand - everyone’s conundrum!

[@valariebrown3768]

My poor nails were damaged by dip and acrylic Manis so I have been in repair an recovery mode for WEEKS. Best products include OPI cuticle oil and Nail Envy Soft &Thin nail strengthened clear coats. I also use every hand cream I can find: l'Occtitane, Trader Joe's Rose Oil cream, Sephora brand, Gold Bond, CeraVe, Cetaphil, even face creams or Bag Balm! I am ALWAYS dry and rough on my hands any more, at age 56. It will be regular Manis from now on, for sure, and I will be trying some more creams from your suggestions soon. Your hands always look lovely!

[@beautylearning_14]

Matilda, I'm so happy that this got realised cuz I recently got interested in taking care of my hands and nails, so this is gonna be really helpful, Thank You. PS. I love your videos ❤

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Kamal! I'm glad I can help you on your hand and nail care journey ☺️💅 x

[@gracelikesgrass]

So happy to see you’re going to make nail videos kinda regular. I struggle so much with painting my nails and really want to get better ❤❤

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Grace! Happy to help you along the way ☺️💅 x

[@aminaa5824]

One of the best tips for nail care is one from ‘the salon life’ on KZbin who says to keep a hand lotion and oil next to your hand wash at the sink and to use them after hand washing everytime, a small bit of lotion after drying your hands and a small drop of oil for both hands and massage, she recommendeds the kerasal foot ointment with urea and salicylic acid for your daily cuticle care too and for after your weekly mani

[@dace8828]

L'Occitane shea butter changed my cuticle game forever. I don't really like oils, so the solid texture of the butter works perfectly for me. I also swear by their hand creams (basic, I know 😅)

[@theindoorkites]

A fellow L'Occitane lover yay!

[@rubee2856]

Have always loved your nails, they look great all of the time! Can’t wait to see the updated manicure routine ❤️

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! Glad you're looking forward to it 🥰💅 x

[@Frenchforaday]

Your nails always look so beautiful and cared for. Thank you for this video. xoxo

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Angela! ☺️💅 x

[@theoneandonlynom]

istg your videos are formatted so elegantly it’s insane 💖

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! 🥰 This is so nice of you. I'm glad you like the style! x

[@MB-xl8nx]

Superb as ever! I have purchased 5 products based on your recommendations from previous videos and love all of them! ☺️

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! So happy to hear that 🥰 x

[@3plvue]

Would looove to see a video about the whole Dior lip maximizers shade range!!💘

[@tonibaena7046]

Love the video dearest Matilda! I really needed it! 🤗🤗😘🌹

[@corvi_dae]

I bought the topicals like butter cream for my hands and I LOVE it. It really sinks into the skin with out any stickiness. I will say it is kind of expensive but I has lasted me about a year since I really only use it in the winter when the wind really does a number on my hands.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thanks for sharing Emily! Sounds like a great winter find 👏 x

[@grapegraze3275]

Matilda, I always enjoy your videos, elegant, clean, tempting$$ Have to try the opi oil & the lanolin product. Marvala nail hardner & Nailactan have brought my nails back from the dead. Also love Kiehl’s hand salve❤🇦🇺

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you lovely! Glad you've found some great nail helpers ☺️💅 x

[@thelagrandeurmethod2686]

Will definitely have to try some of these cuticle oils and hand creams! Trying to take better care of my hands this year and keeping them hydrated, and who better to check out and get inspired by than Matilda? Excellent video as always! 💅✨

[@nancychan9270]

Hi Matilda, I really enjoyed your video. I recently bought two hand creams from the Nivea range. The smooth hand and nail care which I use for daytime, and the intensive moisture hand cream for night time. Both are lovely to use and beautifully scented, leaves a light balm like feeling on the hands with no greasy after feel. My hands are still soft after light hand washing. Chanel's L'Huile Camelia nail oil is currently my favourite for moisturising cuticles. The oil is in a gel like form, which releases the oil once it is massaged into the nails. It has a fruity floral scent.

[@matildaonvideo]

Ooh these sound fantastic Nancy! Particularly that Chanel oil, very tempting 😍🤍 x

[@catherinemw11]

I’m not sure about international availability but the Nuetrogena Norwegian formula hand cream is a staple in my family. My mom is a retired nurse and she used it for years while working to combat scaly, dry hands. It’s thick so you only need a little and it’s fragrance free.

[@sarahj132]

The necessaire hand cream is a favorite of mine, it’s the best I’ve used!

[@tumejorpose]

The best that I've found for my hands (eczema along with working in hospital and using hand sanitizer): Avene Cold Cream and Chanel L'Huile Camelia. The combo of those two keep my hands somewhat presentable haha

[@matildaonvideo]

Sounds like such a lovely combination! 😍👏 Big fan of both brands so I'd be very interested to try out those formulas x

[@nazminbegum3508]

Love the OPI cuticle oil, o'keefe working hands as night routine but hand cream with SPF is a must during the day for me, Vaseline spf20 has been amazing

[@matildaonvideo]

Very good point about remembering to protect our hands Nazmin, well done! I love using the Ultra Violette Extreme Screen Body & Hand SPF50+ because it feels like a moisturiser 💙 x

[@lpslabiba]

this is such perfect timing! ive been growing my nails out so i want to protect them from any potential breakage w oils. and ive been obsessed with using hand cream and looking for a new one to try after my Kamil tube is done.

[@matildaonvideo]

Glad this was well timed for you! ☺️💅 x

[@shaliniekanayake1268]

Love the Fenty Skin Hand Mask! I am just about re-order as mine just finished! :)

[@matildaonvideo]

A re-order is always a good sign Shalini! 😄👍 x

[@Kat-VT]

Great picks, Matilda 🥰 Essie and Dior are among my favourite cuticle products too! I’ve also recently gotten into the Grown Alchemist hand cream!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Kat! Ooh yes, I went to Grown Alchemist's beautiful Melbourne store over summer and wanted to leave with the whole shop 😍🤍 x

[@TheMocao]

I keep a large bottle of Eucerin Roughness Relief lotion at my work desk. The horrible soap in the women’s restroom always dries out my hands. The biggest problem I have with manicures is getting polish to stay on longer than a day without chipping. I was told that the easy chipping is due to oily nail beds 🤷‍♀️

[@Intergalactic.Defender]

Clarins hand and nail cream is my HG. Deborah Lippmann has a great cuticle oil. Thanks for sharing!

[@matildaonvideo]

Likewise, thank you for sharing those products! ☺️💅 x

[@teakettlecute]

i seriously needed this video... my hangnails have been driving me crazy and my hands are incredibly dry and itchy so i need some good moisturizers!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you, I hope this was helpful! You'll hopefully notice less hangnails in future if you're regularly hydrating the skin around your nails (and really massaging the product in, I find that helps too!) ☺️💅 x

[@andreinaortizgarcia6849]

This video was God sent today I was just looking for reviews about nails serums, thanks and I will be looking forward to the next parts 😊

[@matildaonvideo]

Perfect timing! Thank you for watching Andreina ☺️💅 x

[@keelydecosta7234]

Such a great video, I enjoy your content so much. My MVP of cuticle care is the Dior Abricot Crème!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Keely, that means a lot! ☺️ Glad to hear you enjoy that cream too x

[@poojam1341]

I picked up the Caudalíe hand and nail cream from Paris last year after watching your French pharmacy video. I love it so much. It's my desk hand cream. I am kicking myself for not filling my bag with the backup😅 It's almost $5 more in the US.

[@matildaonvideo]

Oh yay Pooja! Imagining you picking up that hand cream in Paris after watching my video makes me so happy 🥹❤️ x

[@CGI_Andy]

I recently had my thumb nail tear and i am so bummed. i have been on a mission to not bite my nails and lost a good amount of progress. i hope nail oil will keep my nails more happy.

[@lineysmith81]

I use the same nail oil pens and have been refilling them for about 3 years. I push the brush only for the first click. that leaves a gap between the lip of the brush and the edge of the cartridge that you can grab onto to remove to refill. it has never leaked and I throw it in my backpack without a problem

[@jesspearcey6442]

Enjoyed this so much! Great recommendations can’t wait to try some 😊💜

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you so much Jess! 🥰 x

[@JagyoseniMandal]

What a wonderful video Matilda! It was so soothing to watch and hear as always. Have always been curious as to which camera you use for filming and if you use artificial lights? Because everything looks so flawless.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Jagyoseni! I film with an old Olympus camera and don't use any lights at all, just natural light coming in from a big window 💙 x

[@sarahvandenbroucke880]

Loved this video! I want to get that apricot nail cream😍😍

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Sarah! It's a real treat to use 😍🍑 x

[@katharinaambs1451]

I love an at-Home mani because I love the me-time it gives me and I can save some money. The only thing though is that once I sleep one night my mani gets creased by something and I feel like I‘ve tried everything to fix it. If you‘ve got any tips for a dodgeproof at-Home mani please share!

[@kathleen5800]

absolutely adore your videos 😊

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Kathleen! That means more than you know 🥰 x

[@donna25871]

I wish you would give some of the excellent Australian vegan nail care such as Kester Black, Gloss and Co and Sienna a trial. I find them superior to OPI and other bigger brands.

[@matildaonvideo]

I would love to Donna! Sadly I don't think I have many stockists near me so I haven't really come across the brands in person, but they're certainly on my radar to try in future ☺️👍 x

[@simple_naildesigns]

Such great nail products 🥰❤️

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! 🥰 x

[@silviajoo6685]

Guerlain Abeille royale hand balm is the best. It’s pricy for a small bottle but I have yet to find anything that works better.

[@tomatefarcieee]

I have to give a shout out to Cuccio Revitalizing Cuticle oil and CBD Solar Oil. For the budget and great for travel Burt’s Bees Lemon Nail and Cuticle Balm

[@vwagstaff792]

could you do a video on your favorite cruelty free products

[@matildaonvideo]

Many of the brands in this video are cruelty-free! ☺️🤍 Olive & June, Weleda, Lanolips, Nécessaire and Fenty Skin (as well as Go-To, the face oil I used for the DIY cuticle pen) x

[@youngjuanderson1049]

Have you tried the L'occitane nail and cuticle oil/serum?

[@pixipug9047]

Hey Matilda 👋 Are you cool skin toned or warm skin toned or mixed ? I've been watching your videos for quite a few years now and your hand looks so young and baby soft...it's like u r aging in reverse😍😍

[@matildaonvideo]

Haha thank you! I'm glad my hands haven't aged in five and a half years on the internet 😄 I'm very cool-toned! Fair skin with pink undertones, but I actually prefer warm shades in my makeup choices (like eyeshadow, blush etc) because cool colours wash me out too much x

[@matildaonvideo]

Ps. Please tell me your username is because you have a pug called Pixi? 🤍🖤 I grew up with pugs and they're just the best! x

[@pixipug9047]

@@matildaonvideo Every other username I tried was either taken or got rejected so I used the first three words that were on my mind 😅 pugs are awesome😍😍

[@beauty_enthusiast]

Warm jojoba oil soaks and a rub of Kerasal at night has really done the trick for my nails and hands. Learned both tips from A Salon Life on YT, best videos on all things related to nails, if you’re interested.

[@matildaonvideo]

Ooh this sounds like a lovely evening ritual! Thank you, I'll have to check out that channel 💅 x

[@ArteoftheMist]

My problem with cuticle seriums/oils is that I wash my hands so often that I am washing the serum/oil off constantly 😬 My only option is at night but even then I swear it doesn't feel like enough 😩

[@memorydandaroy1618]

I’m the same.

[@matildaonvideo]

Don't worry, I know the feeling! But even a 5-10 minute burst of really massaging a cuticle product or hand cream in should help it absorb, then I feel like it hasn't all washed away the next time I need to wash my hands 👍 x

[@fjp9]

if you don’t already, you might want to try using cotton gloves or socks at night after you’ve put on your hand lotion, oil, etc.

[@michikomanalang6733]

the Essie nail oil going rogue 😂 but I use it too!!!!!!

[@matildaonvideo]

That moment when you discover your filming table has a slight angle when a flat bottle starts sliding away 😂 x

Have you tried chanel’s cuticle pen??? Its like a tube but has pen like applicator….

[@matildaonvideo]

I haven't unfortunately Anupama! Someone else just asked about it so now I'm tempted to test it out 😂🤍 x

[@Niki-rb9kz]

Do you have a cuticle remover that you recommend?

[@matildaonvideo]

I've actually never used one Niki! I get good results using cuticle pushers and then very gently buffing or using tools to tidy up that area. You can see a bit of that process in my original tutorial linked below this video ☺️👍 x

[@rymmmmm]

omds tysm for this also random but is it just me who gets so triggered by cuticle pushing like my hands start spasming idk why i hate it so much 😭

[@matildaonvideo]

Not random at all Rym, I think the sensation can be a bit strange and uncomfortable if the pushing is too rough! It shouldn't hurt at all though, and even I find it quite relaxing haha. Will share more specific cuticle steps in a future episode! ☺️👍 x

I have just gotten into more intensive nail care and I love it! I was gifted the Hermes nail oil and I love it. I am also using the Chanel nail serum as well as Kerasol intensive foot balm. It was recommended by @theSalonLife and it’s amazing. It has great ingredients to help cuticles stay hydrated.
