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?
welcome to the second day of my Birthday nail art month.
Today I wanted to show you a very colorful and fun nail design compared to yesterday’s simple glitter nail design.
This look was a lot of fun. It took a while but it was totally worth it.
Polishes I used
I used several different colors, trying to pick colors that are bright and without shimmer or glitter in them.
Astor – Fashion Studio – 202
Ciaté – PP060 – ditch the heels
Ciaté – PP065 – big yellow taxi
p2 – sea’ la vie – 030 navy
p2 – color victim – 999 aloha dreams
p2 – last forever – 230 hot tango
ORLY – BAKED – 20497 tropical pop
It is very easy to accomplish this look. All you need are the different colors and a dotting tool. I used the bigger end of the tool to get bigger dots. I also used the back of a stamping plat to drip on the polishes so I can dip in the dotting tool. Start using one color and keep dotting away. Place the dots on different parts of the nail but of course leave free space for the other colors. If you are done with one nail, do the next etc. until all nail are down using the first color. Now continue these steps with each color you picked. Fill out the blanks with the rest of the colors. When you are down your nails should look like this.
I know it is a crazy design and maybe not everyone’s favorite or wearable to any occasion, but I think it is really fun and different.
I really liked creating this design and it was very easy.
today want to show you the Ciaté I got in my Emerald manicure kit.
PP60 ditch the heels
Even if it looks kind of blue on the pictures, this is a nice green polish just with a hint of blue-ish undertone.
This is what their Website sais:”The prettiest green ever. A colour that is fun, playful and perfect for first timers looking to experiment with bright colours. Dress it up or down! We love to wear it with our floral jumpsuit.”
I like the color, maybe because of the kind of blue undertone. I feel it is always difficult to explain why you like a polish for example, at least for me. I either like or don’t like, sometimes my opinion totally changes after applying the polish and trying to work with it, but Ciaté polishes are pretty reliable if it comes to quality. The consistency is good, with this comes and easy application and kind of fast / normal dry time. I feel Ciaté polishes are great for nail designs.
Please don’t get confused by the polish seeming to be sheer, I applied two coats and it is opaque, but my camera and the light reflexes which is why it looks like the polish is sheer.
