Ciate Day 17 Starry Night

I put this over Orly Color Blast Ultra Pink!



This is easy to use, you just sprinkle it over a wet nail. Make sure you have something underneath to catch the excess glitter. Make sure to tap the excess glitter off as well! Lasted well with top coat - China Glaze Fast Forward!

Ciate Day 15 Nail File




A nail file!!!! They had one last year: nail file. But I don't think this one is as good a last years! It's okay, but it is something you could easily find in most beauty stores. I guess it is a standard file.

My Personal Rating = 6/10! :-|

Ciate Day 14 Pretty In Putty

Sadly had to cut the nails as I had a little break and I wasn't able to save it! :-|



This is okay to use and okay to apply. Quite streaky on the 1st coat and I had plenty of polish on the brush for the 2nd. Drying time is okay (3-4 minutes a coat). It's an okay colour, I guess. Not really my thing and doesn't really look that good on me either! Lasted well.

Ciate Day 13 Ibiza Blues



This is okay to use and okay to apply. Make sure you have plenty of polish on the brush or it is prone to bald spots. Okay drying time (4 minutes a coat). It is a really pretty lilac. Lasted well.

Ciate Day 9 Status Grow



This is a treatment for nail growth. I didn't try it as it would need to be used daily for a while and I am quite lucky with my nail growth! They grow fairly quickly and are strong! I guess this would be good if you have weak nails. So I didn't review it! Would rather have had a polish BUT at least it isn't a doubler ;-)

Ciate Day 8 Pool Party



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It's a nice deep, rich blue colour. But I did notice one thing...it was slightly smelly, kind of like TCP Antiseptic. It wasn't too bad and did disappear after about 30 minutes. I had noticed this before in a blue polish by Avon! Slight tip wear, but lasted well otherwise.

Ciate Day 7 All That Jazz

This is a glitter and I put it on top of OPI's Alpine Snow.



This is easy to use, you basically sprinkle it over a wet nail and tap the excess off! I normally have a little tub underneath to catch the excess glitter. It dries quickly, well as long as the base you sprinkle it on to! This lasted well with a top coat - China Glaze Fast Forward!

A top coat! I put this on top of the last post: Iced Frappe.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 30 seconds or less!). Make sure there is plenty of polish on the brush to avoid patchy bald spots! It is very, very shiny indeed! Lasted well.
