Nails Inc - Garrick Street and Some New Additions...

Hiya!
Today is a re-swatch of the first polish I posted about. It is a stunningly beautiful purple/blue metallic shimmer with a hint of duochrome!!
I urge you to try and get your mitts on this one. I tried hard, but just couldn't quite capture it's beauty. Application as with most Nails Inc's was good - 3 coats with this to ensure opacity.
And...my Cosmic FX Collection arrived today :) I'm sooo happy!!

(not in the Cosmic FX Collection!) Color Club - Covered in Diamonds

l-r: It's Not Rocket Science, Space Cadet and Halleys Comet

l-r: Lunar Eclipse, Out Of This World, Galaxy Girl.

These are all so amazing I cannot describe it! I will be doing manis and reviews very soon for all of them.

Soooo glad I got 2 of Space Cadet as it's now sold out on Head2Toe Beauty. I also got another Covered in Diamonds and a little something else that I'm planning all to into my next giveaway :)

So the question is - which one do I start with?

Nails Inc Monmouth Street & Milly

Hello again everyone.

Today I wanted to try a hot pink! I still haven't used the pink I got in the Nails inc (non)Metallic Collection!

Monmouth Street is a real hot pink and a bit pearly I guess but definately not metallic. It is actually very gorgeous.When I looked at the bottle I was a bit...hmm, not interested...hence the wait - but I like it very, very much indeed.


This was really hard to capture, which is why this is an outdoors shot. I like the natural light though, so might try a few more outside. In real life this is a bit darker than it looks here and it also pops more (if that is even possible!). This is 2 care-free coats with base and top.

I'd now like to introduce you to Milly. I couldn't resist taking a pic when she started playing with the bottle.


She loves to play with anything that rolls around on the floor, which is so much fun at night in my laminate floored bedroom!! We adopted Milly from an animal shelter in April and she is now 3 months old. I've never really been a cat person, but she is sooo cute and loveable.

That's all for today :)

Nails Inc - Crown Court

Hello nail polishers :)

Today I have for you another little gem from the Nails inc Metallics collection - which is turning out to be more shimmer than metallic!

I have been wearing this colour a lot recently on my toes, as it just shines in the sun and is just such a nice deep colour. I've notice that I'm much more of a dark/bright colour pedi girl.


This is 2 coats and taken with artificial flash. As you an see, Crown Court is a really deep red toned purple...amethest probably. It doesn't dry very shiney which is strange, but I always use top coat so that's not a problem. You can click on the pics to enlarge them to get a better look by the way.


This one is taken in a sunny room. See how different it looks? It's really not this burgandy at all in the sun, but I wanted to show you more of the pretty shimmer anyway.

In the shade and inside you can just about tell that it's purple and not black, so pretty vampy looking.

I would put this in my top 5 favourite polishes! It's perfect for all the time and looks stunning when you get in that sunshine.

Please love this as much as I do? :)

Nails Inc. Villiers Street

Candy Coated Tips' is having a PURPLE Giveaway here!!


Today I have for you a totally gorgeous berry red shimmer/metallic(?).

Villiers Street was in my "Metallics" collection from QVC. I'm finding it hard to tell if it is really a metallic or not. I guess it is kinda, but in my opinion it is a really subtle metallic finish.

We've not had any sunshine today, so I'm afraid this was taken in my bedroom and the colour adjusted. I promise if there is sun tomorrow morning I will fire up my laptop and post a picture before I head off to work at 7am :)


It applied amazingly - this was 2 coats, although it probably could be a one coater - i just don't feel right doing just one. The more I look at it the more it is becoming my favourite red. It's unlike any other reds I have. I've got Orly - Monroe's Red, a total pin-up red, slightly more orange toned than this. Then I have Nails Inc - Victoria, a real vampy red. This is just a real true red!

I urge you to buy it, although I don't think it's for sale on it's own, so you may just have to buy the whole metallics collection from QVC for around £20. But trust me...you won't be disappointed. I will be sampling more of the beauties from this collection very soon. I do have the dark purple metallic - Crown Court - on my tootsies at the moment, but wasn't sure how well a foot shot would go down!

EDIT:

In the "sun".


Still doesn't do this justice. It's just a tad deeper and so much morevivid in real life. *sigh* I tried to get it right, I guess some colours just don't want to be photographed.

Kicking off with Nails Inc Garrick Street

Hello and welcome to my brand new, shiny blog!!

To start off I am showing you this beautiful colour by Nails Inc - Garrick Street.

This little bottle of polish is what has inspired me to start this blog. My mum bought me the Metallics Collection of Nails Inc off QVC instead of a present from her holiday - absolute win!! Anyway...I couldn't wait to get them and I desperately wanted to see pictures of these amazing colours so I could get a feel for them. However, I couldn't find any at all...so I gathered if I couldn't find any then there might be other people out there who want to see these swatches too. Hence the birth of Matilda's Manis.

This is all quite exciting and I have only ever read blogs before so you might have to bear with me until I get the grips with all this. Anyway, over to the pictures.

All the little pretties sitting together.



Emerald Street, Crown Court, Villiers Street, Monmouth Street and Garrick Street.

Garrick Street - indoors with flash.



This is 2 coats with Essie Mind the Gap basecoat and Orly Prisma Gold and Nailtek Fasten top coat.

It is such a beautiful purple with an overlay of blue which gives it a petrol look to it. It is a really nice formula too. You do need to use quite a loaded brush for this otherwise you will end up with bald spots. Does even out lovely after 2 coats though. I will definately try and get a picture of this in the sun tomorrow - it truely is stunning!
