I want it to end with a bang, which is why I am going to show you my whole Ciaté Collection. Besides two polishes I bought all of these products myself.

I decided the best way of showing all the Ciaté products would be by the Set’s I bought them in.
6 x mini polishes (Mistress, Pillow Fight, Rain Coat, Ferris Wheel, Power Dressing & Amazing Gracie)
4 empty mini paint pot bottles
6 x suspension top coats
12 x 5g Glitters
7 x professional nail tools (1 scooper, 2 mini test tubes, 1 petri dish, 1 funnel, 1 mini nail file, 1 roll of customisable labels)
This is probably the product I wanted the most right after I saw it on the PR information. I mean come on, for a nail polish junkie like me this set is heaven. Who doesn’t want to mix their own polishes?
This is the one of the polishes I did not by myself. I received this in a small appreciation package sent to me by Ciaté Germany, along with a mini glass nail file and a Ciaté key holder.
With time I also collected and tried some of their nail care products and base / top coats.
Ciaté – Nail Tonic (nail strengthener)
Ciaté – Mattnifficent (matte top coat)

Be careful not to keep the matte top coat for too long or it might get ruined. It happened to mine after about 1 and a half years.
Ciaté – Speed Coat (fast dry top coat)
This is probably the best fast drying top coat I have tried. It dries the nail polish to a good amount within 30 – 60 seconds I would say. Would definitely recommend it to any of you and will keep buying it myself.

Ciaté – love me oil (almond cuticle oil)
I simply love this cuticle oil. I am a big fan of almond products and I feel this oil is moisturizing and nurishing. It is quickly applied and the cuticles soak it in pretty fast.
I also love the cuticle butter from Burt’s Bees, but I don’t use it too much because I don’t like wasting the product by having to apply it with my finger.
Do you own any other Ciaté polishes or products in general, which I should try?
I wanted to say thank for you encouraging words on here and on my facebook. That really made me feel better and more relaxed about wanting to improve my Blog right away. I will take things step by step.
Today I have a really fun nail design for you. You might have felt my love for Japan, my friends even call me Ninja girl sometimes^^
So what did I do today? Right, Ninja nails! :D
What I used:
Maybelline Colorshow – 677 blackout
Ciaté – PP017 boudoir
KIKO – 508
Essence LE Superheroes – 04 super, man!
O.P.I. top coat and matte top coat
At first I painted all nails, except my middle finger, black. The middle finger was painted red. I let everything dry and started using KIKO – 508 to paint on their skin – eye are. Remember, ninja are dressed totally in black and all you can see are their eyes. Let that dry as well and in the meantime use a thin striper to right “Ninja” in silver on your thumb nail and draw a silver 手裏剣 shuriken (ninja star) on your ring finger.. When the faces are dry you can use the striper to draw on the head bans. The black nails get a red one and the red nail gets a black head band. For the red head band you might need two coats. Now dot on the tiny eyes :)
For my right hand I decided to do more black and silver, because I just love the combination and I wanted to have more 手裏剣 action going on.
I applied black polish as a base, used O.P.I.’s matte top coat to matte-fy it and let that dry. Then I used the silver Essence polish again to draw on different silver shapes. That is it :)
Hod do you like today’s design? I hope you enjoy it.
today I have a very colorful nail design for you again.
For this manicure you need several different colors. Here is what I used:
Astor – 202
Catrice – green
Essence – Show your feet – 27 electric blue
Ciaté – PP065 – big yellow taxi
Ciaté – PP066 – headliner
Ciaté – PP106
ORLY – Baked – Tropical pop
p2 – 999 – aloha dreams
Ciate – PP017 – boudoir
any black and white polish (I used O.P.I.’s Alpine Snow and Manhattan’s black polish)
The base for this nail design is white, so I started applying two coats of Alpine Snow and let it dry.
After that I took a stamping plate and applied 2 drops of the first color (for example tropical pop) and painted a small triangle with my self-cut nail brush. After that I cleaned the brush, took the next color and applied that on the nail as well. Keep on doing that with all the different colors on all your nails. If some of the polishes need a second coat, apply it and let everything dry. After all colors are dry take the black polish and paint thin lines around the shapes you just painted. Let it dry and apply a clear top coat to seal in the design.
You might need some patience and time to do this nail design, but I think it is worth it.
