The World of Ciate London - Review and Swatch

I ordered Ciate London mini mani month from NZ Sale. It took about 7-8 weeks to arrive, that was indeed a long wait. A big disappointment from NZ Sale about the delivery timing, I had to chase them few times to know where my product was. Although they had the tracking link, trust me it doesn't state the true status. I would love to use their service again to get more products should they improve on their delivery timing. 

Price in NZD: $35 + $10 courier 

Coming back to Ciate Nail polishes, these are mini bottles which was released last year before Christmas. It has 22 mini bottles, a funnel and 2 mystery gifts (Sparkly nail filer and a bow bracelet). 




Very pretty packaging and if you get this before Xmas, you can open one bottle a day for a surprise color. I would love to do that this holiday season.  

Colors: (L to R)
1st Row - hidden gem, loop the loop, boudoir, hopscotch
2nd Row - lickerbockerglory, kiss chase, hoopla, iced frappe, amazing gacie, members only
3rd Row - talent scout, sugar plum, pillow fight, chinchilla, apple & custard, sequins mistletoe magic
4th Row - fit for a queen, snow globe, party shoes, glitter glitter all the way, caviar pearls deck the nails, caviar pearls ice queen

The polishes are of great consistency, not too thin nor too thick. The application brush is quite small but it's only a miniature bottle. It dries quickly and doesn't stain nails. 

I am in love with all the colors above especially pastel colors. I found couple of similar colors I already own from OPI and Essie. 

Essie - Orange it's obvious
Ciate - Hopscotch
Ciate - Hidden Gem
OPI - Don't talk bach to me

Overall I am in love with Ciate Nail polishes, latest obsession for sure. I have been trying many nail art designs and will definitely more of it.
Apple and custard
Top - Talent scout
Bottom - Sugar plum
Base - Members only
Caviar pearls - Ice queen
I plan to create more nail art designs from the rest of the colors. Keep watching my Instagram page :)
