Ciaté mini mani month

Hello fellow makeup lovers! Sorry for my very long absence from this blog, but my resolution for 2014 has been to write much more often. I'm going to start the year with a review of one of my favourite Christmas presents: the Ciaté mini mani month nailpolishes.  For those of you that don't know what I'm referring to, the mini mani month is essentially 24 different nailpolishes from Ciaté.  This collection also includes loose sparkles, glitter, and the famous Ciaté nail pearls/caviar.

Having never tried any of the Ciaté nailpolishes I was extremely excited to have these sample sized polishes to try a number of their popular colours. So far I have tried a number of their polishes, and have used both of the loose sparkles.  I haven't found a great way to apply the sparkles, as thus far I've merely tapped the sparkles on using my fingers. I am too nervous to dump sparkles from the bottle though, because I don't want to waste any!! I haven't been brave enough to try the pearls yet, but I think I will dedicate an entire post to those once I have.



The formula of these nail polishes is absolutely perfect! They aren't too thick and the brush is the exact size of my nail which has made application very easy.  Once this sample pack runs out I am definitely going to back and buy some of the full sized polishes!

My favourites so far have been: Tweed and Tails and Boudoir.
