Paint Your Nails With Me | At-Home Manicure, Prep and Polish

[@soulqueen8584]

Honestly, I always avoided painting my nails because I am a sporty person, and malicious people used to joke about how my hands looked "manly". Last week, I was binge watching your channel and found the other nail polish video and gave it a try. Wasn't perfect by any means, but I've never felt so pretty and free in my life!! Thanks for the content, Matilda. Really wish I could hug you!! 💜

[@matildaonvideo]

Ohh I wish I could hug *you* ! So thrilled you had such a positive painting experience, thank you for sharing! We look at our hands all the time so it's amazing how showing them a little bit of care can make such a difference to our confidence or sense of calm (former serious nail biter and short-nails-for-sport person here too). Would love to hear which polish made you feel so good? 😄❤️ x

[@soulqueen8584]

Thank you so much!! We don't do things by halves in this house, so I wanted to go "bold". By recomendation of my grandma, I used Cherries in the snow, by revlon. At first I felt it was too much, but an hour later, I felt like a golden vintage queen 😂. It's such a pretty shade, and I fell in love with it, now I want it to be my signature. Every girl was asking about the colour! And of course, I let them know about you. You are the best option for us who are just beginning to get in touch with this part of ourselves. Once again, I love you. 💜 (excuse the poor english, it's not my first language 😂)

[@laurenagnes8435]

@@soulqueen8584 my aunt has a signature color, Revlon’s Totally Toffee. She has had it on non-stop for YEARS. She just keeps rebuying it, and it’s the only color she owns. It does look beautiful on her and she gets many compliments. I just can’t help being tempted to gift her Essie’s Angora Cardi one day and see what happens. I think she would like that one, too. 🙂

[@saskiaperks8319]

as someone who suffers from anxiety, I used to be a chronic nail-biter. I discovered your nail tutorial almost two years ago during the depths of quarantine, and now painting my nails has become a source of self-care for me and helped me with my bad habit. I never comment on youtube videos, but watching this video feels like coming full circle and is like a warm hug from a friend :)

[@matildaonvideo]

This comment was just like a warm hug, so thank you for taking the time to say hello Saskia! You've made my day ☺️💅 So lovely to hear nails have become an important self care step for you too x

[@Kat-VT]

The “with me” format is so therapeutic, Matilda 🥰 Although I did miss the sound of your voice a little🎙

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Kat! Thought I'd play around with this different style for the first time ☺️ x

[@kokomo23love]

Oh dear. This is the most relaxing nail video I’ve seen. I feel so serene 😌

[@matildaonvideo]

So happy to hear that, thank you! ☺️💅 x

[@tonibaena7046]

Dead right! I felt like in a mindfullness session! 😍😍👏👏

[@blobster91]

I thought I'm the only person that didn't like getting a manicure at the salon. They are always harsh and don't seem to get it right. And I'm especially concerned about hygiene. At home manicures are sooooooo relaxing and therapeutic. It helps my anxiety. Also, you have the prettiest nailbeds.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Lubna, nice to hear you prefer doing your nails at home too! Once you get into a little routine, it's so fun 😄💅 x

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

I tried because it seems like a nice girly pampering session that girls get together to do. The results were worse or similar to mine and I was risking my health with their unknown sanitation levels (the place looked pretty clean, fancy and professional though), and I spent money that could have bought 3+ good bottles of polishes😅.

[@MarieZhang1]

Watching you care for and paint your nails was sooo soothing and therapeutic! Thank you for another wonderful video that helped distract me from the stresses of university life :)

[@matildaonvideo]

You're so welcome, thank you for watching! Glad you could relax here for a moment ☺️ x

[@emilyg9495]

your first nail tutorial upped my at home manicures so much!! I always get asked where I go them done and I love being able to say I did it myself! 😁 loved this video too!

[@matildaonvideo]

So happy to hear that Emily, yay! Hope you'll pick up some new tips in my next nail tutorial later this year 💅 x

[@makeupandbeautea]

This was such a relaxing experience. I don't have stereotypically "feminine" hands with slender fingers and long nails, and have always felt insecure. Painting my nails makes me feel more confident and your videos have definitely helped me do it better! I ordered the Dior Creme Abricot yesterday and I'm happy to see that it's Matilda approved. Thanks for the wonderful video, have a lovely day! x

[@jcpark1125]

I can relate. My fingers are kinda short and quite chubby, so my hands always looked a lot less feminine and I never cared for them in the past. But now I’m 20 I’m appreciating painting my nails now and how that elevated my whole look.🌸

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you, so nice to hear you've picked up some painting tips in the past! ☺️💅 Hope you enjoy the Dior cream, it's on the thick/sticky side so you only need a tiny bit! I like to really spend time working it into/around each nail, then finish with a lighter hand cream to blend everything together x

[@fatihahraheem6024]

Once again, Matilda, you are credited with immensely bringing down my anxiety, loved this and thank you! xxx

[@matildaonvideo]

So sweet of you, thank you Fatihah! ☺️ x

[@annagarfinkel1628]

The tiny brush to tidy and remove excess polish is genius!!!! I always wondered how to get that professional manicure look at home and this was a relaxing, informative "watch me" type of video!!!

[@shereethastable5760]

I like how serene and peaceful the music is. Great job going over the steps for a perfect manicure and thanks for sharing.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Shereetha, so glad it felt peaceful! ☺️ x

[@Zygro98acopalypse]

I’m so excited for this video! A friend of mine wanted to start painting his nails recently, so we watched your first manicure video together and then I talked him through the process. We had the best time and he’s been watching more of your videos even though he’s not into makeup really.

I must say, I've been watching you for a long long time... Safe to say we'll before I learned how to do my makeup.. and now I'm doing my own makeup for events. Doing my nails for prom this week and although they're press-ons, I've found they're the best way to cheat at a great manicure :') Thank you for everything ❤️

[@matildaonvideo]

So touched to have played a small part in your makeup journey Miyah! Hope you have a wonderful time at prom 💃❤️ x

[@poojam1341]

I have always been insecure about my hands but thanks to your nail care videos, now I love doing my nails. I have gifted so many of friends the Olive and June sets and also shared your videos for inspiration. Love to see more nail care related videos. Thank you Matilda 🥰

[@matildaonvideo]

So happy to hear this Pooja, thank you! It really means a lot ☺️💅 x

[@christey123]

Using nail polish remover with the little brush at the end to clean up the edges was actually game changing! That is the thing I've been missing and will definitely incorporate it next time i do my nails. Thanks you!

[@Aurorya]

The "tidy" part is so satisfying 🤩

[@heydiadrea2445]

This was probably the most peaceful, soothing thing I have encountered this week and I NEEDED that. Thank you so much! I already did my nails in the morning - for this week I chose teal :-)

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Marysia! I'm so glad this slower video style came at a good time for you ☺️💅 Ooh what was the teal polish? x

[@marysiamilach8460]

@@matildaonvideo yes, Miss Sporty 577 - I really like the shape of the applicator on this one. And the neck of the bottle is quite a nice size, so when there is little of polish left I can pour it over into the other bottle and create my own custom colours!

I've been waiting for this one! I love doing my own nails as well, and I'd love to see some swatches of your favorite shades for each season.

[@matildaonvideo]

Thanks Marie! Make sure you watch my old tutorial if you were waiting for mani tips 👍💅 Lots of polish swatching takes the longest time to film unfortunately, but hopefully I can share more videos in future! x

[@SaminSays]

ok that nail brush tip is genius. its the difference between an at home diy and a salon quality manicure

[@matildaonvideo]

Absolutely Samin! I use that O&J brush every single time I paint my nails, it makes all the difference 💅👏 x

[@SaminSays]

Just the vibe I was hoping to create! Thank you ☺️💅 x

[@megann4415]

So relaxing and makes me want to paint my nails with a lilac colour too! Currently, I have a light blue polish with subtle holographic flakes and a blue dotticure on top.

[@matildaonvideo]

That combination sounds so pretty for spring Megan! Might have to do light blue next time too ☺️💙 x

[@clarerichardson8770]

It may sound obvious, but cleaning up the varnish before putting on the topcoat is a lightbulb moment for me, haha! Thanks for this gorgeous, meditative break, Matilda!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you lovely! Not obvious at all, I only started doing that clean up step in 2019 when I got my first Olive & June set. TOTAL game changer! 😍👏 x

As a self-manny gal, I really enjoyed this. The self-care feeling behind it makes it worthwhile 🙏

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Silv! Glad you enjoy this little ritual too ☺️💅 x

[@laurenagnes8435]

Lovely video! My boyfriend gave me an Easter basket of candy, and buried underneath was a bottle of Go Ginza. I thought he picked out the perfect spring shade on purpose, but he said he just chose the first bottle he saw. I can’t stop looking at my soft, pretty, lilac nails!

[@matildaonvideo]

What a perfect gift Lauren! That's so thoughtful (but I love that there was less method to the shade selection that we would've thought 😂💜) Go Ginza is one of my favourites in spring and summer! x

[@Capricorn152]

Okay but this is so calming and gently instructive and as someone who has never really done the nail care side of things, I might have to invest and start doing it. Thank you so much!!

Thank you Manisha! Definitely hoping to film the updated tutorial soon when I have enough time 👍💅 x

[@jcpark1125]

I started biting my nails last year when I was getting nerves and stress from college, then I started painting my nails so I would stop biting them. I never painted my nails and I never thought how beautiful they look on me. Now, painting my nails have become very therapeutic and I do them weekly. I started with just 3 nail polished now I got 26😅 I enjoy watching nail painting content like this and it calms me even more. Your whole channel is both educational and therapeutic tbh🌸

[@beauty_enthusiast]

I loved this style of video - so relaxing as I wind down for the day. I started doing my nails regularly a few years ago and it’s great self-care! Right now I have a Decorté polish on my nails, it’s the only formula I’ve ever tried that doesn’t chip. The ends wear away as the week goes on but it’s very subtle and feels lived in. I love Olive & June polish, too (so many fab colors!). The tip I took away from this video is cleaning up the edges before putting on the final clear coat✨💕✨ can’t wait for the next one!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you, nice to hear you enjoy doing your nails for some self care too! The clean up step is my favourite 😄💅 x

[@violetviolet888]

NK H, if the ends are wearing away, then you need to "wrap" the end/tip of your nails with a coat of polish at the end of application. This will ensure the polish won't shrink and start chipping.

[@beauty_enthusiast]

@@violetviolet888 oh yes! I do this but home manicures never last much more than a week to ten days. The Decorté polishes in my experience don’t chip:)

[@matildaonvideo]

That's known as 'capping', I'm planning to talk about it in my updated tutorial in future Violet! It's not something I personally like / need to do to get long lasting results, but some people do benefit from sealing the tips of their nails with a quick swipe of polish (on the second to last coat of colour, while each nail is still wet) 👍 x

[@violetviolet888]

@@matildaonvideo Thanks. I don't personally do it because I don't like the feel. But I know "capping" works for others.

[@anaisgohy3411]

I'm a big fan of the Dior Nail Glow (French manicure), it makes your nails nice and shiny and leaves some guessing if you're wearing nail polish or not. The Dior Nail Glow is the equivalent to nails as the Dior Addict Lip Glow is for lips.

[@matildaonvideo]

Yes, I have that too Anais! I change my nail polish so often for work and because I love reds and dark colours, my nails tend to stain so I haven't worn Dior Nail Glow for a while, but it's lovely 💅💕 x

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Haena, nice to hear you're enjoying Fairy Tailor! 💅 I don't really use any makeup tools unfortunately, just brushes sometimes, but I am planning a skincare tools video later in the year x

[@jessbfoster]

It's a great idea to use a lint free wipe with acetone or isopropyl alcohol, anything of that nature, to wipe the neck of the polish bottle after every use so that it doesn't dry and crust up and thus prevent the bottle from properly sealing and drying your polish out! Plus I feel it makes my application go smoother. But I love this and I am loving your tip of also leaving a gap on the sides! :)

[@violetviolet888]

Kazziemg: you can also apply Vaseline or petrolatum around the rim of the nail polish bottle.

[@matildaonvideo]

Great tips, thank you both! 👍 If there's a lot of polish build up on the bottle neck after a while, I just use some remover on a cotton round to tidy it up. Definitely helps with application, I agree! x

[@staceyoddity4580]

This was so calming! I will watch it a few more times, honestly. I love seeing products we have in common. I use NAILS inc Nailkale base as well. It has been a game changer in that it’s helped my nails to not stain. I’m wearing Wild Orchid right now and I will change to either CHM or Chemistry 🤔

[@matildaonvideo]

Ayy I saw this video mid-painting my nails! You put me onto Essie nail polishes especially Ballet Slippers, Sew Me and Fairy Taylor! I have a genetic condition that makes my nails grow deformed, and I have lifelong Body-Focussed Repetitive Behaviours including nail biting/picking, so my nails have been a source of insecurity all my life. I was painting my nails with a couple coats but it would chip within three days and then I'd start picking again. But just in the last few weeks I've started painting my nails with four coats- three layers of colour plus a top coat, and it stays intact for about a week and it subconsciously stops me from meddling with them! So for the first time in my entire life, I have white ends to most of my nails and I can use them to scratch!

Thank you very much for your videos

Love your nail videos. If you don't mind, where do you buy Olive and June nail products in Austtalua

[@vaishnavijella2126]

You have one of the most beautiful, manicured and much loved hands. U should get an insurance for ur hands lo 😂l. I randomly stumbled across an olio e Esso video and I was very delighted to see you 😁

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Vaishnavi! That reminds me of that quote from the movie Mean Girls, "I hear her hair is insured for $10,000" 😂 x

So relaxing! Also more unrelated question, what shades are the baby blue Essie and the purple Olive and June? They are so cute!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Julie! Ooh if you mean the purple and blue next to each other, that's O&J Bold & Unshaken and Essie Bikini So Teeny 💜💙 x

Hi Matilda! I love your content! I was wondering if you find a significant difference in the Chanel & Dior vs the Essie price point nail polishes. Are the higher end worth the price?

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you! To be honest, I usually get the best results (ie. longer lasting manicures) from Olive & June and Essie which are both 'drugstore' prices at $9 USD a bottle. I just love Chanel and Dior's shade ranges so I'll splurge on them sometimes! 💅 x

[@adrianeduron9247]

Love this relaxing vid! ☺️ How long do you wait in between coats?

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you Adriane! At least 5 minutes between each coat 👍 I'll talk through the process in more detail in my next tutorial x

So I’ve spent the last 2 days trying to paint my nails and I’ve hated every moment of it cause they’re uneven, streak and an ugly mess and I hate waiting for them to dry. I went from getting acrylics to growing my nails out to strengthen them and paint my own nails BUT after watching, I think my biggest mistake is a lack of base coat and buff. I’ve been using a new bottle of Essie and it’s so streaky so I’ll try that and if all else fails, I’m just gonna run down to the salon and get them to paint it and sit in front of the tiny fan 😂

[@kavyajoseph738]

I have Essie’s gel couture in sheet fantasy on my hands & an Indian dupe to what you are wearing on my toes 😁 exact same lilac shade 😁

[@matildaonvideo]

We're matching Kavya! Always love lilac 💜 x

@@matildaonvideo it’s a new buy for me and I absolutely love it! ❤️

[@danyf.1442]

I completely gave up on my nails a few years ago and threw away all my polishes. My hands look good only for a very short time because I do house chores and I cannot stand even the smallest imperfection...so I just remove it. On top of this my nails are small, square and grow "upwards" in a weird way, so I always keep them very short. But after watching this...daaaamn I want to buy a couple colors😂😂😂

[@violetviolet888]

dany f, when you do house chores, wear gloves, it protects the manicure.

Would you be able to tell me the name of the red Chanel nail polish in your video? It looks like the perfect red! Thanks so much!

[@matildaonvideo]

Chanel Pirate! ❤️ x

[@ThePatBrs]

Amazing! I can’t even file my nails evenly… xoxo

[@matildaonvideo]

Thanks for watching Patricia! Don't worry, practice makes perfect 😄👍 I'll share some more shaping tips in my updated tutorial soon, but I think shaping with your previous polish on is a great tip via Olive & June. I find it really helpful because the white tips of our nails are always uneven, so the polish gives me a better starting point to try to shape them neatly x
