[Review] Ciaté’s Mini Mani Month 2013 (US) – pearls – smoulder and lustre

Hello everyone,

introducing pearl bottle number one and two.

smoulder (silver)

Ciaté - Mini Mani Month American Set - pearls - metallic pearls silver

Ciaté - Mini Mani Month American Set - pearls - metallic pearls silver - close up

As you can see, these are simple silver pearls. No mix, not other color, simply silver.

smoulder in combination with Ciaté’s PP 103 – pillow fight

I applied the base color with three coats, let it properly dry and applied a clear top coat.
Make sure to add the top coat only where you want the caviar pearls to stick and add the pearls right away while the clear coat is still wet. I advice you to do one nail at a time.
As you can see I added the clear coat and pearls in different ways. You can add it in a drop, over the whole nail, in the shape of three drops, just the tip or a line.
Be creative and apply it how you want. Some people like it simpler, some like to go all the way and add the pearls on every nail in total.

As you can see, these are simple golden pearls. I think perfect for christmas nail designs.

The application here is the same as for the pearls in general.

Apply your base color in as many coats as you want. You can apply three coats or just 2.

After that add the top coat, but make sure to add it only where you want the caviar pearls to stick and add the pearls right away while the clear coat is still wet. I advice you to do one nail at a time.
Add the pearls in different ways to have some variety.

please excuse the poor lightning, but I think the color of the polish and pearls affected the outcome

How do you like this combination?
Let me know in the comments.

Hello everyone,

This week I went to Karstadt to see if they already sell Ciaté’s new Flower Manicure Kit.
Sadly they didn’t. They said they did not even get it yet. Too bad.
If you don’t know what I am talking about, this is it.

Well since I did not get this I was a bit sad, but luckily for me they still sold some of the old kit’s.
So I bought the

If you are interested as well, you can buy it here.

At my local Karstadt both were half price, so I am very happy.

Also I bought on full sized Paint Pot Polish in the color PP066 headliner.
As you can see the bow and most part of the label were ripped off, but I don’t care much since it also was half price^^

Isn’t this a pretty color?

I will review all of these later on, so please be patient^^

I also went to my local L’Occitane en provence shop, because I saw they are currently offering a tiny bag with 3 x 10ml handcreme in it. They are as almond milk, cherry blossom and a 20% shea butter creme for dry skin. I
I have heard SO much positive feedback about L’Occitane from people on Youtube and always wanted to try. So this was the perfect chance to try 3 different types.

Since I felt bad for just going and grabbing the free stuff, I also stayed and checked out the other products. I liked the 30ml green tea and lemon moisturizing hand gel and since it was offered for only 5 € instead of 7,50 € I bought it.

The nice lady also gave me 3 samples to try. Two are almond body milk and one is a radiance and color care shampoo. I am excited to try these as well.

I hope I will be able to try more in the future. The products are a bit pricey but I have heard they are really worth it.

This is it for this week.
Tomorrow I will introduce you to Ciaté’s Tree Trinkets, a set of 6 mini glitter polishes which I got for christmas :)

Have a great weekend, see you tomorrow.
