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?
we are on to day 2 of Ciaté Month 2015 and I want to start reviewing the polishes I got in the Mini Mani Manor Advent Calender.
On day 1 Ciaté surprised us with the Pain Pot 057, called headliner.
Since I already owned this polish and knew of its qualities, I happy to receive it as a mini.
This is a very pretty turquoise polish with a semi matt finish.
On their Website they describe it as an extraordinary cocktail of blue and green, which dries matte!
The application was easy thanks to the typical wide Ciaté brush and the polish dried nice and quickly to the semi matte finish.
To show you how to mix it up and create a different looks I used Ciaté’s PP403 yules rules from the 2013Tree Trinket Set to add some glitter. Seal everything in with a shiny clear top coat and you are done.
and here with a little twist
I hope you like this look as much as I do. If you do, you should use the opportunity to get headliner on sale on the Ciaté Website for £6.30 instead of £9.
today I have a very colorful nail design for you again.
For this manicure you need several different colors. Here is what I used:
Astor – 202
Catrice – green
Essence – Show your feet – 27 electric blue
Ciaté – PP065 – big yellow taxi
Ciaté – PP066 – headliner
Ciaté – PP106
ORLY – Baked – Tropical pop
p2 – 999 – aloha dreams
Ciate – PP017 – boudoir
any black and white polish (I used O.P.I.’s Alpine Snow and Manhattan’s black polish)
The base for this nail design is white, so I started applying two coats of Alpine Snow and let it dry.
After that I took a stamping plate and applied 2 drops of the first color (for example tropical pop) and painted a small triangle with my self-cut nail brush. After that I cleaned the brush, took the next color and applied that on the nail as well. Keep on doing that with all the different colors on all your nails. If some of the polishes need a second coat, apply it and let everything dry. After all colors are dry take the black polish and paint thin lines around the shapes you just painted. Let it dry and apply a clear top coat to seal in the design.
You might need some patience and time to do this nail design, but I think it is worth it.
