NOTD: Ciate cookies and cream.

2 Comments »

I apologize its been a while since I made a post. But it was a busy December and I was also sick during that time too. To start off the New Year, I'm showing everyone my Nail of the Day.


This is a bottle from my Ciate Mini Mani Month (advent calendar). It is a creamy beige color. I applied a strengthener base coat by OPI and three layers of the color followed by a top coat from Rimmel London. 

To be honest, I wasn't really fond of the application. It was lumpy and the brush was too small. But I guess thats what happens with a mini bottle. 

I know its not the best manicure (I'm practicing). but I had to grow out my nails since I picked up a bad habit over the holidays >///<  I've kicked it though so I'm back at getting nice long pretty nails. 

What do you think of the colors? 

NOTD: Ciate + Holiday accent!!

Today was day 5 of my nail polish advent calendar, and I got a nice purple color called cabaret! This was my first time using Ciate nail polish. The application was great considering it was a mini brush. I did however had to apply three coats before it became opaque. It does dry really fast too, which is nice, because I really can't sit still.



I used the nail polish I got from my November Glossybox, all is glam, all is bright, for the accent. I'm not sure it's the best pairing, but oh well, I will change it up soon. I didn't have time to put on a top coat and clean up as I am still in the middle of drying as I type. This is what happens when you don't have much time in a day. :(

What do you think of the colors??

My Ciate Advent Calendar Arrived.... Finally

No Comments »

So after looking forward to my firsts mini mani month, which for those that don't know is a nail polish advent calendar set from ciate, and being let down that I wouldn't get it before the start of the month, I finally have it.
I am going to be good and open it up one at a time. With the exception of today because I just got it and missed the first two days.


I am sick today so I won't be able to show you guys what they look like on my nails but I will definitely get around to doing a different NOTD for each of the 24 days :)


Day 1. When I opened the door, it read, Fly a Kite. The nail polish is called cupcake queen and is a glittery pink color. I didn't like the mediocre quality of the bow tie. I felt it should be glued properly above their logo.


Day 2. The door says that there are over 37,000 nail art tutorials on youtube. Inside was a burgandy looking nail polish called dangerous affair. The only problem I have with this one is the bow came undone. I have to try and put it back together. I'm also not sure I like.this color very much.. we will see.


Today's day three. When you open up the door there is a little 'BOO' We scared you.. which I didn't find very amusing, I would have thought they'd put more fun little facts or something. Now this is what the bowtie SHOULD look like. If the rest of them are like this, then great :) Anyways, today is a nice white nail polish with purple shimmer inside. It's called halo. It doesn't show in the photo the purple shimmering. Perhaps once I put it on the nail.


So far the colors are great, and I've had a quick test on a nail and found it dries relatively fast which is great. I will show you soon.
For now, that's all.
