This was hard to apply - it was very streaky and dragged. I ended up with lots of bald spots. Very poor formula. I had to use thick coats so drying time was a bit longer (6-7 minutes each coat). This is 3 coats and I think I managed to get a decent finish and it actually does look quite good! I liked it in the end - the stress of application seemed worth it! Lasted really well.

Very pretty but I am afraid I won't buy Ciates *runs away* ;) when I read about application problems. They are quite expensive, should have been used easier. You've managed very well.
ReplyDeleteIt is! Some of the ones are okay they aren't all the same lol! Just a bit unlucky with the years. I know! Thanks :-)
DeleteYeah, f. ex. the sandy or the pearls, and even these that paint with difficulties are pretty.
DeleteI was impressed with the sandy for sure! It was nice and the pearls were lovely too :-D
DeleteTo bad about the formula...
ReplyDeleteBut the shade really suits the name, it's so delicate and pretty!
Yeah it's poor! It does and very pretty :-)
DeleteI've seen it in my TkMaxx - not being a huge fan of pink, plus thinking about the formula and application I'll pass, although it looks so great on you! You got the best out of it!
ReplyDeleteThe application was awful. You know I'm not a bit pink fan but liked this one! Thanks I really did :-D
Deletebeautiful and delicate :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is Fife :-)
DeleteLove this shade so much <3 Color show nail paints are simply fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear, glad you like it :-)
DeleteI think the Christmas calender is a great idea, but I must admit that I don't really want to buy Ciaté's next year, if they stuff it with polishes with bad formulas :D
ReplyDeleteI know! I the idea of it but some of them have sucked big time. Maybe I'm just unlucky? :-|
DeleteFrankly speaking I'm not sad at all, I didn't buy that Ciaté Christmas Calendar.
ReplyDeleteKind regards,
Elena
I think you are the lucky one and I'm the sucker :-(
DeletePity about the application as it is such a pretty pink
ReplyDeleteIt really is a pretty pink! Thanks John :-)
DeleteIt looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you like it :-)
DeleteLooks good on you! Pastels can have a tricky formula in general (more or less ofc) so I guess that's common. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gelic. Yeah most of them are and they do look so good! Yeah :-)
DeleteOk, bad formula but it's super cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's very true and how I felt as well! It really is very cute :-)
Deletecute color! sorry to hear it was so streaky though!
ReplyDeleteOh nightmare lol! Very streaky! I'm quite pleased with how it turned out though :-)
