I received this Ciate nail varnish free with last month’s Marie Claire. I
initially wasn't going to buy it as I have loads of nail varnish and there were
so many great magazine freebies last month...... however whilst on my way to
work I was reading the Metro newspaper and noticed a voucher to buy the
magazine for only £1 - so it would be rude not too (I’m definitely going to
keep an eye out for more offers like this at the end of the month, as I saw one
for Elle magazine too)
I've never tried this brand before but I’ve heard a lot about them so I was
looking forward to trying it. This is the shade Bon Bon with two coats, it definitely
needed two coats to stop it looking streaky but then I think all nail varnish
needs two coats. It’s a lovely lilac colour with a hint of grey, I would say
its slightly more purple than it shows in the images, however still lovely.
Since wearing it I’ve had a lot of compliments – which is always nice. The application went on easily but it took
slightly longer than expected to dry, I then applied the Barry M top coat. The
varnish wore relatively well 3 days without chipping however on the 4th
day it peeled! I mean it wasn’t a huge problem
as it was ready to be removed but I haven’t had a nail varnish peel in a long
time. Perhaps it didn’t work well the Barry M top coat, I’m not sure, has
anyone else had this problem with Ciate nail Varnish?
