today I want to review the pretty polishes from wet n wild (Website USA | Ger / Facebook USA | Ger), which I got about 4 weeks ago. I already showed you the products on Instagram and am really in love with the colors.
I received:
A018 Ferguson Crest Syrah
A008 Glowstick
238C Party of Five Glitters
407C Matte Top Coat
Beforehand I want to let you know that I will review their matte top coat separately in a few days. I have a big post about several matte top coats from different brands planned.
Ferguson Crest Syra and Glowstick
Glowstick
I was very curious about the two polishes from the Fergie Collection. They have some real gems in this collection, but especially Glowstick caught my eye. It is so bright and has a nice white pearl shimmer.
For the application you should either add a white base coat or add about 2-3 coats, depending hoe opaque you want your finish. It is really pretty nevertheless. Here I also applied wet n wild’s wild shine polish caribbean frost.
Ferguson Crest Syrah is also a very gorgeous color. It is purple with a nice bronze and golden shimmer. I own a few polishes like that, but yet they are all different. This just might be the prettiest of all even though I wished the brush was nicer. I feel it kind of difficult to apply the polish with this brush, so for me there is clean up needed. If you apply it you should also try to apply thin coats and wait a while in between, else you will be left with horrible bubbles. That’s what happened to me when I used it the first time.
On the following picture I applied it together with Party of Five Glitters, a nice highly glitter polish/top coat. I used the sponge technique to get as much glitter on the nail as possible without having to apply too many coats ;)
Party of Five Glitters
Party of five glitters is a nice glitter polish in a clear base. In the close-up you can see that the glitter particles have different sizes and colors, from silver to red, pink, green and light blue. I personally think that there is a bit to much of the clear base, but you can always get a nice opaque glitter result with the sponging technique.
Thanks again to wet n wild Germany for sending these to me.
Which of these polishes is your favorite? Let me know in the comments.
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?
here we go with the actual Birthday Nail Art post.
Today I have nothing crazy for you, but I used the only Maybelline Acid polish I was able to get a few weeks ago and mixed it up with the matte top coat from O.P.I. and Astor’s “play the graffiti” and “game of graphics” on the accent nail.
I like the manicure. I think I even like the acid washed polish better with a matte top coat.
