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.

my full-sized Ciaté paint pots
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?
today I want to introduce to you a set by Ciaté I didn’t even know about before I saw it at my local TKmaxx.
Here we go with Under the sea
Besides it’s obviously perfect name (I am a huge fan of Ariel the Mermaid) this set is a super fun and bright bundle of joy. It includes three full-sized paint pots and comes in a cute sea/ocean inspired package.
All three polishes are super bright but require 2 good or 3 normal coats of polish. The polishes dry pretty quickly to a glossy finish.
The following polishes are included: (left to right)
PP135 palm tree
PP010 holiday blues
PP064 the glossip
Palm Tree is a very green polish, be careful though to use at least one or better 2 coats of base coat here and as well for holiday blues, sine most green or blue polishes can leave stains on your nails.
Nonetheless this polish is super fun. So far I haven’t seen a polish this bright green without being a pain in the a** to apply. This baby goes on super smoothly though. So I am happy now that I have a nice green polish in my collection.
Holiday Blues is also nice and bright, a good polish to create ocean inspired nails or a bright blue sky. It applies just as easy as Palm Tree and dries equally fast.
The glossip was probably the biggest surprise from this set. It is more of a coral pink instead of a “normal” kind of cold toned pink, which I really appreciate about this polish. I feel it is pretty unique so it turned out to be my favorite from this set. Who would have thought^^
Don’t let the picture fool you, in real it doesn’t look that red-ish.
I was really surprised to find this set. As far as I know they must have released it some time in 2014 I guess? I find the idea super cute, would have loved to have a sparkling top coat though, maybe some shiney polishes to re-create the shimer of the sun in the ocean water. To top that off I would have loved some small nail decorations, like shells, a crab or something like that. Maybe some foils to re-create a mermaids tail.
Now THAT woukd have been under the sea :D
Anyways, please also check my friend AJ’s post on this set. She created a super cute ocean inspired manicure.
