Ciate Baby Doll
Welcome once again to the Ciate Dolls House nightmare! ;-)
This is hard to use, hard to apply and mega, mega quick drying (less than a minute for a thick coat). It is so hard to apply and achieve an even finish with the polish. I had tried the technique suggested by Polished Marvels - where I applied a coat then put a top coat on and applied another coat. This sadly didn't work for me :-( The best application technique I've found for a half decent finish is one very thick coat with one or two brush strokes. It's quite a nice peachy pink colour and it did last well!

Shame that it's so bad to use, cause the colour goes really well with matte finish :)
ReplyDeleteI know, I would have thought better of Ciate as well! It does and I looks good :-)
DeleteOh my... it doesn't look like porcelain in my opinion, but it's a nice shade I'd try with pleasure and looks good in matte.
ReplyDeleteIt more matte like! It's nice just shame about the formula! :-)
DeleteI'm so pleased I'm not the only one having problem with this collection :D
ReplyDeleteHehe I think we all are :-)
DeleteOh noooo so sorry my tip did not work for you :-( - I have to admit, I declared defeat over this collection and suspended swatching. What a pity because the idea would have been great and this color is utterly cute and really flattering on you <3
ReplyDeleteHey at least I put it to the test. Not to worry, it might come in handy for another tricky polish! I'm determined to finish the set lol! Thanks, it is cute :-)
DeleteUgh it sucks that you had so much trouble with application and formula. Too bad because the color looks very pretty.
ReplyDelete~ Yun
I know! Yeah it's pretty hehe :-)
DeleteLove it! When I go shopping I will surely get it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! Hehe you should give it a try :-)
DeleteIt's pretty, but annoying that the formula is so difficult to work with!
ReplyDeleteYeah my feeling exactly :-)
Deletethe color is cute too bad about the formula :( I only have one ciate polish - pepperminty and although its darker I kind of had issues with it applying nicely also. I never thought to topcoat each layer in between maybe I will give that a try with my more problematic pastel polishes
ReplyDeleteI know, that seems the way of it. Great colour poor formula! I must try that technique with other polishes I'm sure it'll come in handy some day!
DeleteI've got Pepperminty and thought it was pretty good :-)
