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?
today I want to review Ciaté’s Denim Manicure Kit.
It includes a full sized paint pot, PP067 Regatta, as well as different sized and looking studs and some white nail tattoos.
Regatta is a very pretty blue polish with silver shimmer, which dries semi matte. I really love how they mixed up the packaging by adding a blue bow made of jeans fabric.
You can get very creative with this kit. I used Ciaté’s polish PP050 ladylike luxe and added 2 thin coats on the ring finger and half of the middle finger.
I topped it with regatta as well as studs and a copper colored nail art pen from Maybelline.
I am not very happy with my version of the denim manicure, but I will try again hoping it will turn out better next time.
My little Blogger Cooperation with Jule from Julchens–Traumwelt is already over, which means Christmas is right around the corner. Did you already decorate your Christmas Tree? I sure did a few weeks ago.
Anyway, what better theme could we pick then the lovely Christmas Tree itself. Since I won’t get much presents this year I also decided to at least draw on some colorful packages for myself.
I hope you enjoy it.
What I used?
Manhattan – Glitter Effect nail polish – Jungle Gem
Ciaté – PP067 regatta
Ciaté – PP099 espadrilles
ORLY – What’s the Password?
As you cans see, I mixed up the colors pretty well, always using a different polish for the package itself and the ribbon.
For the Christmas Tree I used Manhattans Jungle Gem and some loose silver and smaller red hexa particles. That’s basically it.
Keep a still hand and be patient. After you are done, seal the design in with a clear fast drying top coat.

I hope you like this little fun design. I will be back on Wednesday and hope you have a nice Sunday.
If you would give the design a try, I would love to see you re-creations with the hashtag #jman2014
