Matilda Manicures

An unexpected side effect of my flat-lay filming style has been people showing interest in my nail colour each week. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked, ‘what nail polish are you wearing?’, I could be a part-owner of OPI!

It’s very flattering to have someone think I’ve been to a salon, when I’ve actually just perfected a neat at-home painting process over the years as I discovered more helpful tools and brands.

My nail tutorial is one of the most popular videos on my channel, but there are so many small, second-nature, muscle-memory moves in my manicure routine, I thought I’d start breaking down different parts of the process in more specific videos.

Please let me know if there are any particular nail categories or queries I can try to help you with!
