Ciate Enchanted Rose

Hi everyone

 

Happy Christmas Eve.

Well Im sad to say  its the last day of the Ciate Mani Month Calendar and I dont think there could have been a more perfect choice for todays polish - Enchanted Rose, a very Christmas appropriate red glitter. Today I am simply going to let the pictures speak for themself !

 

Have a great day tomorrow everyone, I hope Santa is good to you all.

Ciate Caviar Pearls Sundance

Good morning lovelies

 

Thank goodness its the weekend !! Just a quick post today to check in and show you todays Ciate - Its day twenty two woop woop and we have the special edition caviar pearls in Sundance, I think this one is really pretty and it also has little bitty micro sequins in shades of gold and turquoise. I have paired it with Ladylike Luxe and think they really compliment each other - mmmh this caviar mani just might be growing on me.

Ciate Fade To Greige

Continuing with my "Ciate a day" pledge, todays colour is Fade To Greige, a grey polish with a hint of violet. This is a great neutral colour which would go with any outfit over the festive season. Ciate polish is quick to dry which means you can paint your nails in a hurry without having to wait twenty minutes for them to be touch dry !! You will also achieve great results with this polish because it has such a  great consistency which makes it easy to paint with, it has great pigmentation which means no streaks or uneven colour and because it dries so quickly you will have gorgeous, glossy smudge free nails.  This is Fade To Greige with two coats, it is a permanent polish in Ciates collection so you will be able to purchase this from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Magic Carpet

Its day 20 in my Ciate Mini Mani Month calendar and can I just say "Hello beautiful". Todays colour is Magic Carpet and it combines my two favourite things glitter (I have terrible magpie tendancies) and pink. As far as glitter polish goes I think this is one of the nicest ones Ive seen, with different sized flecks of magenta glitter suspended in a sheer polish I find that its rather gloopy in texture but I actually think that this helps the glitter stick to your nails rather having a thinner consistency which can sometimes just slides straight off the nails during application and making it a tad difficult to get a great effect with the glitter, this is Magic Carpet with three coats and to be honest the pictures just dont do it justice. This polish is quick to dry, has great pigmentation and if you havent tried Ciate yet then you need to give their polish a go !!! Magic Carpet is one of the calendars special editions and isnt released at the moment however Im hoping that Ciate might make this a permanent edition to their collection.

Ciate Cookies and Cream

Hi everyone

Got a little excited when I opened door nineteen to find Cookies and Cream behind it because at first glance I thought I might have just found a dupe for Chanel Frenzy. The excitement was short lived however because when applied it looks nothing like Chanel Frenzy. They are very similar but as you can see from the pictures Frenzy is a little darker and more of a grey putty colour where as Cookies and Cream is more of a fleshy nude colour. I gotta say Im quite liking Cookies and Cream however it took four coats to get decent coverage so it did take a little longer to dry, I do feel very chic today with nudey coloured nails though ha ha.

If you would like some nudey nails Cookies and Cream can be purchased from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Candy Shop Caviar Pearls

Hi everyone

Todays little surprise are Ciate's Caviar pearls in Candy Shop. My husband made me laugh because he asked what are all those little balls lying about on your dressing table ? Id had a little accident with the bottle !  I told him they are caviar pearls for your nails, he replied I dont understand why you would want to stick little balls all over your nails. Thats a good question which to be honest I couldnt really answer, em its in fashion I replied but honestly I dont really want to stick little balls all over my nails so there you go, the lengths us woman will go to.  I still aint feeling the love for the caviar mani, it seems to be a really popular craze, and I have to think, will we one day laugh at how we used to stick little balls to our nails in the olden days ha ha - does anyone have any solutions as to how to a caviar mani so it doesnt annoy the heck out of you???

Please share.

Ciate Power Dressing

Hi everyone

 

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. So whats behind door number seventeen ?? Its Power Dressing the most gorgeous deep blue nail polish I think I have ever seen. Power Dressing is amazing to apply and highly pigmented meaning this only needed two coats, it seems to dry in seconds which for someone like myself who seems to be perpetually in a hurry is just a god send ! I have recently purchased some of Ciate's Speed Coat which is their version of a fast drying top coat so keep your eyes peeled for a review on that coming soon.

 

A full size bottle of Ciate Power Dressing can be purchased from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Big Yellow Taxi

Hi everyone

 

I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend. Its day sixteen of my Ciate calendar and I feel I should issue a warning !! You may need your sunglasses to view the following pictures because todays colour is Big Yellow Taxi - Im a little lost for words and cant quite decide if I like this or not - it certainly makes a statement ! It took four coats to get a decent sort of coverage with this and then I decided to mix it up a bit with yesterdays colour Head Liner and Im still not sure !! I will let you guys be the judge.

 

If you love the yellow then you can purchase Big Yellow Taxi from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Headliner

Good morning everyone

 

Happy Saturday to you all.

Well its day 15 and disaster struck when I was painting my nails !! Yes I smudged !! Nothing too drastic but it means a bit of a tidy up which didnt take place before I took my pics today - yes ladies Im in a hurry so its just a quick post this morning to show you todays colour which is Headliner a gorgeous Turquoise shade which I think is pretty unusual looking and not really like anything else in my collection. My apologies for the shoddy paint work !!  I almost didnt get this post up today as Im literally rushing out the door but Im determined to keep my posts up to date !! Have a good day everyone.

 

Ciate Headliner can be purchased from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Speed Dial

Hi everyone

 

Well its Thursday and its day fourteen of the Ciate Mini Mani Month Calendar.

I am totally in love with todays colour - Ciate Speed Dial is an amazing fluro coral/orange shade, its quick to dry, has an amazing consistency and is easy to apply - Ciate can you do no wrong ?? Im sure I will be joining the hoards of woman who bought this calendar and hadnt had too much experience with Ciate polish, but I have to say that it has surpassed all my expectations. Everyone has a favourite nail polish brand which they reach for time and time again and to be honest Ciate has kicked the ass out of mine !!! Ciate has become a firm favourite of  since trying out this calendar and Speed Dial is going on to my "list" of  buy now colours, its not particularly a traditional winter shade but who cares - its gorgeous.

 

Ciate Speed Dial can be purchased from Ciate for £9.

Ciate Glass Slipper

Number thirteen - Unlucky for some ? Not for Ciate ....

Behind door number thirteen is the gorgeous and exclusive limited edition shade, Glass Slipper which is a pretty blue  glitter polish. Ciate tell me that the sold out calendar features their best selling colours and that the sequence was carefully thought out so that there is a caviar blend or limited edition glitter every three or four days to make things a little more interesting. Keep your eyes peeled as Ciate are hoping to bring us something bigger and better next year but it will be another limited edition so ladies you will have to be quick.
