I've heard some great things about
Ciate (pronounced see-are-tay) nail polishes and seen them worn by lots of different people include
Lisa Eldridge and the girls at
Pixiwoo all of whom I trust when it comes to great products but when I tried out the Ciate nail varnish in
Boudoir I wasn't blown away.

It's more to do with the colour, which after two coats was still not as solid as I would have liked, or expected. The varnish itself had quite good staying power, being wearable but with a few chips for nearly a week (and probably longer if professionally applied) and was very easy to apply and reasonably quite drying. I'm sure with another coat the colour would have been better but I really think two coats should be enough with any colour.
That being said I would love to try their new
Bottled Sunshine Colleciton which look beautiful and I'd be interested to know whether the colour coverage is better with these shades - maybe
Boudoir was just a one off.
I'm definitely going to persevere with
Ciate colours however as. not only is the packaging lovely but they are certified 3 Free which means there is nothing nasty in their varnishes.
