There is
only one brand I really consider when it comes to nails and that’s Ciaté. They
are the true innovators when it comes to trends, particularly in the textured
manicure department. I believe they have a polish for everyone, whatever the
colour, finish or texture. I absolute adore their website at this time of year,
not only because they have the Mini
Mani Manor Advent Calendar,
but because there are so many cute gift sets and you’re likely to pick up a
bargain with ‘older’ colours and kits! I’m currently loving the Tree
Trinkets – a
mini polish trapped in a plastic bauble, complete with ribbon and tag so you
can hang it from your Christmas tree!
Ciaté were offering
free Tree Trinkets (£8, or two for £12) on orders over £20, so I went a bit
mad, qualifying for free delivery in the process. I needed all of these things,
right?
I cannot
wait to try this product out – how good is it going to look for Christmas party
season?! It sounds so easy to use too, it’s as simple as adding the sealant to
your lips, rolling on the glitter and brushing away the excess. It’s such a
clever idea and totally up my street – what better way to add a bit of sparkle
to your pout!
Ciaté have
four chocolatey scented nail polish removers and I was totally torn between the
mint chocolate and white chocolate varieties. After reading good things about
the latter, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase it (is £10 too much to
spend?) – and omg, it’s absolutely lush! Of course, there’s the acetone smell
and it’s still a solvent, but it smells so good. There’s that slight milkybar
scent. Because it contains Vitamins E and B5, it conditions the nails and keeps
them strong. It’s definitely my new favourite and well worth the money.
Jewellery
box is a glitter polish and dependent on the number of coats you use, can
appear grey or black – with the sparkle, think granite. It looks beautiful in
the bottle but it looks even better once applied to your nails. It’s really
spectacular, dazzling in the light. It’s what I call a showy polish. And would
look great with silver statement jewellery.
It lasted about five days and even with a base coat, was difficult to
remove. I recommend wrapping cotton balls soaked in nail polish remover to each
finger, holding in place with foil or cling film and leave for 5-10 minutes. You
could even get someone to apply a face mask whilst you relax!
This tiny
bottle of micro pearls are a sure fire way of adding texture to your nails and
I’m loving the gold – particularly for the festive and party season. I’ve bought
and used the caviar manicure kit and while it can be messy, I just adore the
effect. I could not resist this mini and I’m sure I’ll be sporting a textured
accent nail on Christmas Day!
Just so you
know, I chose my tree trinket in All
Aglow – a gold glitter polish with flecks of red... just to continue that
festive theme!
After reading this blog, I am definitely going to invest in the black sparkly one! Loves amazing and pretty :D xxx
