Allo polish Pals!
Happy Saturday to you all! I have a
real change up this weekend, compared to last weeks very quiet
weekend at home I'll be out most of this weekend visiting friends and
family so I just have time for a quick swatch for you. I have to warn
you, I could have killed my camera. I don't know why but it really
didn't want to pick up the beautiful holo on this polish. I made the
best I could with my limited time but I'm still not too impressed
with how my photographs came out. Here is Ciatés 'Looking Glass'. I also tried this on before I trimmed and rounded my nails down so my nails are going to look a little different from picture to picture. I'm smart, huh...

Back to rounded nails. Short and stubby - They are currently a work in progress. |

(Before I went round) Apologies for the also phone snap, I wanted to share with you the beautiful holo to this polish. Fail. |

Application ~ I
had no trouble with application, in fact the first coat dried
incredibly fast into a dull matte look which meant that it is fast
and easy to layer your coats. I am showing three coats.
Texture ~ The texture is on the
watery side with this one but that only added to the wonderful dry
time. I had assumed on first inspection it may feel or apply grainy
but it was perfectly smooth.
★★★★★/5 Yes I am giving this five stars! I love the texture and I love how glossy it appears with a top coat, It is gorgeous when you see the holo and even when it appears just silver. I can see myself reaching for this one many more times in the future. Its a beautiful balance of striking and subtle at the same time.

Have you tried any polish from
Ciaté before? Do you have trouble photographing holographic
polishes?
Have a fabulous weekend, guys! I'll see
you in the week!

so beautiful, so sparkly!- i love it Ithi :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend dear friend!
Thank you Fife! I do love how sparkly it was too, princess nails! Hope you had a good weekend also :) xx
DeleteIt looks gorgeous! Don't worry, the holo is visible in the third picture :) It's really hard to capture holo sometimes! The round nail shape also looks really cute on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin! I have to say I admire you holo photographing skills immensely! Thank you for the shape compliments. I'm not sure, I takes some getting sued to again after square nails!! If truth be told I find this shape a lot more reliable and less prone to breakages! xx
Deletei would kill my camera to :) just we could see on third picture some holo
ReplyDeletebut in real life it must be gorgeous !
have a nice day !
Haha we better not kill our camera's :) I'm glad I managed to show the holo a little bit. Its not quite as obvious as I would have hoped for. Your right about it being a lot more pretty in real life! xx
DeleteThis looks great and I really like it! I've got. I do like Ciate polishes - they do a good range :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ananka! Well this is my first Ciate and I am really impressed, I never really knew much about them but they seem like a really awesome brand! :) xx
DeleteIt's amazing! It's so sparkly:) I hate take a pics of holo polishes as well...It never turns out too good:/
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ela! Perhaps I can tell myself I need to buy more holographic polishes just so I can practice photographing them! ;) xx
Deletewow that's a gorgeous polish!!
