I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Day 14 - Ciate Unrestricted Glam



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 4 minutes a coat). This is quite a sheer polish and requires 3 coats for a good finish. I think it's a really nice black polish and I do like it a lot. It is very glossy! Lasted well.

Rating
Easy to use = 8/10
Application = 8/10
Drying time = 7/10
Lasted well = 8/10
Coats = 3
Finish = jelly - Ciate state 'creme' but it's a jelly
Removal = really easy
Overall = 8/10
Purchased from = Selfridges

My Personal Rating = 7.5/10 :-)

  1. It's really a nice glossy black, but three coats is one too much ;o) My beloved Orly Liquid Vinyl (I'm acutally using the 4th bottle) gives full opacitiy with just one coat. ;o)

    Kind regards,
    Elena

  2. I've never experienced a black three coater before. But yes - it's really pretty shiny! :)

    1. I wonder if that's because it's a mini? It really is shiny! :-)

  3. I agree with Elena and Marianne - that is one coat too much in black, even in a jelly (especially if Ciate say it's a creme LOL)

    1. You think so? It was quite sheer! I know I don't know where they got that idea from! :-)

  4. It looks well and really more like a jelly - it should have been more opaque, I guess (I posted China Glaze black that was looking well with one coat and better with 2). Anyways, you look impressive in it!

    1. I think if it was the larger bottle, it might have only needed 2 coats? It's nice anyway :-)
