This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is a normal sized bottle and the brush is really good and the glitter applied nicely too. It looks nice over both light and dark colours. This lasted really well too.

Ciate Day 21 - Watermelon Burst Hydrating Primer

So today is not a nail polish or treatment or even a nail file! I feel cheated. As I don't wear makeup I haven't reviewed this. Really wouldn't know how to use it haha!

 

Has anyone else used this? If so was it any good?

Ciate Day 20 - Seize The Clay

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the formula is okay. It is a little streaky on the first coat but builds up nicely on the second. It is nice enough but don't think it really suited me. Lasted really well.

Ciate Day 19 - Ice Scream

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The first coat is streaky but it builds up nicely on the second. I used 3 coats but if you don't have ridges you'd get away with 2 coats. It is a lovely baby blue and it lasted really well.

Ciate Day 13 - Cupcake Queen

This one has appeared a few times over the years - see here: 2012, 2014 and 2016.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). Great formula and great brush. I am quite sentimental about this one as it was in the very first Calendar in 2012 and was also the first day! I did get quite emotional. It is a gorgeous pink with a subtle blue shimmer. Looks amazing. I only swatched this.
