[Review] Ciaté – Beach Hut, Skinny Dip, Espadrilles

Good evening everyone,

today I would like to review 3 pretty polishes I bought within the past few months. I don’t know if you knew that Ciaté had a super sale shortly after the New Year began, they still have products in sale if you are interested. They ship almost everywhere from the UK and the service is pretty great if I may add.

Today’s polishes are :

  • Skinny Dip
  • Beah Hut
  • Espadrilles

 

Skinny Dip

Skinny Dip

olden shimmering orange polsih which totally made me fall in love with it from the first time I saw it swatched online. I knew immediately I had to buy this beauty. It reminds me of summer, laying at the pool and enjoying the day without any worries.

This polish is part of the Bottled Sunshine Collection.

On the Ciaté UK Webiste it is on sale for £6.30 instead of £9.00.

Beach Hut

Beach Hut
This blazing orange seems great for the beach and any kind of beach or pool party. It brings the sun onto your nails and immediately brightens up your day.

This polish is also part of the Bottled Sunshine Collection.

Available on the Ciaté UK Webiste for the regular price of £9.00.

Espadrilles

Espadrilles
This stunning deep red with deep molden copper shimmer is probably the most gorgeous red polish I own. There is not much I can say, besides the fact that I think it is prefect for everyday use and especially for occasions where you’d wear that little black dress. A-MA-ZING!

This polish is also part of the Bottled Sunshine Collection.

On the Ciaté UK Webiste it is on sale for £6.30 instead of £9.00.

I really enjoy the shimmer of all these three polishes. It is nice and intense on the nail but if you remove it with a cotton pad and remover, you can see the shimmer in all it’s beauty. Isn’t it stunning?!

[Review] Ciaté – Corrupted Neon Glitters

Hello lovelies,

only a few days left until this years Ciaté Month is over. I would love to read what you think and if you liked it. Please let me know in the comments below or on my other Social Media Sites.

Today I would like to review Ciaté’s Corrupted Neons Kits.

Usually the loose neon glitters I am going to review today are only available in the corrupted neons kits. They come in four different colors and include a mini polish, a full sized bottle of loose glitter and a mini bottle of black light top coat.

Let’s take a look at the available kits (top to bottom)

  • Corrupted Neon Manicure Megaphone
  • Corrupted Neon Manicure Club Tropicana
  • Corrupted Neon Manicure Shout out
  • Corrupted Neon Manicure Foam Party

I got mine seperately at TKmaxx though. I bought the following three:

  • 10g – Megaphone Neon Glitter
  • 10g – Club Tropicana Neon Glitter
  • 10g – Foam Party Neon Glitter

I really love how bright these glitters are. Depending on which base color you apply them they loose a bit of their brightness though. I applied over Ciaté’s sass pott and used different placements and also neon studs to brighten up this manicure.

To achieve this look you simply add tape at the parts where you want to keep the base color. Carefully add a layer of clear top coat where you want the glitter to stick. I made sure not to apply to much on the tape because it would we a waste of glitter since it would stick to the tape. Immediately add the glitter and while everything is still wet, carefully take off the tape. If there is some glitter poking out of the straight line, poke it back in place to get a clear edge.

Add small dots of clear polish to make the studs stick to your nail and you are done. I did not use any top coat to seal in the glitter, since I don’t like the way it looks.
