Ricky's NYC was kind enough to send me some of their new Cosa Nostra Mob Collection to review. This is their latest collection which features six "mob themed" colors: Goomah Comare, Vig, Whack, The Boss, Consigliere, and Capo.
This is my first time trying a Mattese Elite polish. I have heard about this brand and I was excited to try them out! Ricky's NYC sent me three colors: Capo, Whack, and The Boss. I decided to put them all in one post, something different from what I am used to doing! I hope you like it.
First up is Capo, my favorite of the three. Capo is a grey creme with silver shimmer. It applied very well, I only needed two coats. I followed it up with Orly Won't Chip.

Next up is Whack, my second favorite. Whack is a plum colored creme. Also went on well, and could be a one coater but you know me, I used two. It also dries super shiny, these photos are without top coat!

Followed by my least favorite of the three, The Boss. I am really disappointed with this one. I was looking forward to the shiny gunmetal look of it only to discover its a streaky frosty polish that bubbles! You can totally see every brush stroke and I got at least one bubble per nail. I think its an awesome color, but the streaks turn me off completely. Top coat did not help either.

Overall I think these are decent polishes for the price. I am looking forward to trying more of them before I form a final opinion. I am actually making a trip to NYC this weekend, and Ricky's NYC is on my list of places to check out.
Mattese Elite Cosa Nostra retail for $5.99 each and can be purchased in Ricky's NYC stores as well as on their website by clicking HERE.

Very pretty colors, especially The Boss. Its just a shame that there is so much trouble when applying The Boss and the result is nothing special.
Wow that the Boss is a streaky mess-do I see bubbles? Yikes!
I like Capo, love the shimmer.
Good blog: You should start many more. I love all the info provided. I will stay tuned:) makeup artist in Sydney
