Ciate Regatta

I don't know how many times I walked past the Ciate stand, looked at this polish and put it back because in the bottle it looked a little boring to me. Just another blue with silver running through it. Not my color, too... metallic...

But luckily enough a friend of mine had naked nails a couple of months ago and she slapped this on. In the bottle it might look like just another polish, but on the nail... so so gorgeous!

Ciate Regatta is described by Ciate as a strong dreamy deep blue with and irredescent shimmer to deliver the perfect underwater party look. Perfect for making an impact with your favourite classic dress. Make colour pop and attitude bold. Well... that's a lot of words to describe a denim blue polish, lol.

The formula is what makes this polish amazing! It's a 1 coater! It glides on the nail with ease, dries really fast and almost a little matte, but not quite. It reminds me of the OPI Suede finish, but a little more glossy. Of course I did 2 coats, because I just can't help myself!

I love this and because you can totally get away with just 1 coat, it's perfect for those times you need a pop of color on your nails, but don't have enough time to do multiple coats.

Maybe I should just try out all the Ciate polishes, because this is the second one I bought that I originally passed on because it didn't look like much in the bottle.

Have you tried any Ciate polishes, if so, which would you recommend?

Ciate Twilight

This is one of those polishes that I've had in my hands so many times, but just never picked up because the swatches on internet didn't look that great to me. Or maybe that's not the right way to put it, they just looked dissapointing after looking at the polish in the bottle.

But Saturday I got lucky. I was shopping with a friend and she had naked nails, so I immediatly slapped this on and was blown away!

Ciate Twilight is a black polish with an abundance of golden tiny glass flecks in it, which almost turn this polish into a deep, dark olive green. The bottle is almost as nice as the color, so sophisticated and classy.

The formula was so so nice, 2 coats to get opaque and it dried really fast and glossy. The brush is nice and because of the long handle, very easy to handle. I love it and will definitely be buying more of these polishes. The only problem I had with it, is getting my fingers wrapped around it in such a way that I could take a picture and have the polish still look the way it does in person...

Do you own any Ciate polishes and what are your recommendations?
