Who's the boss? I received an email today announcing a new mob-themed nail polish collection from Ricky's house brand Mattese Elite. Mattese Elite invites you to "Polish off your summer with the hottest trends in nails, available exclusively at Ricky's! Mattese Elite's new Mob Collection - Cosa Nostra - has crime-worthy colors that'll make you feel good being bad."
I giggled at the "quick overview" description on Ricky's website: "Bang Bang Bang! Be the Boss with Mattese Elite's 2011 COSA NOSTRA Nail Polish Collection!" Mattese Elite definitely wins points in the "original theme for a collection" category.
The Cosa Nostra collection consists of (6) shades:
The Boss: a fierce, metallic shade of gunmetal
Vig: a deep cobalt
Consigliere: a muted teal
Goomah: a splash of hot pink
Whack: a rich plum
Capo: a tinted silver gray with a hint of sparkle
I think (6) polishes is a good collection size. I think I'll swing by Ricky's* tomorrow after work to check these out in person!
The Cosa Nostra collection is available at Ricky's and online, and Mattese Elite nail polishes cost $5.99. Check out the Gotham Polish Map for locations!

ReplyDeleteAnna, I can't wait to see them in person... I think I might be getting a few from the descriptions!
Wow, that's such a cool theme! I'll be looking forward to seeing these on you nails :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I'm not so proud to being italian, sometimes. Actyally, always... XD
ReplyDeleteBy the way the collection seems a lot interesting, at least :P
I'm curious about Goomah and Capo! :)
ReplyDeleteBookworm Nails, I have pics to post of the swatches!
ReplyDeletegnoma, yah interesting is a good way to describe it!
Kim, I saw them today! The color of Goomah is exactly that pink and creme. Capo was interesting, it was almost like CC Wild Orchid.
Loving the theme! I'm looking forward to see what they look like on your nails.
ReplyDeleteoneinchnails, I have some pictures of the swatches from the store that I will share!
ReplyDeleteI just reviewed these on my blog earlier this week! Great collection and great polishes! The pink and the gunmetal are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteNew follower (and fellow NYC polish blogger) here, love your blog! :)
Eh, I wouldn't buy them.
ReplyDeleteNext step, a collection named "War"? Who would buy from it? :^/
This isn't a cool theme at all...
