L-R: Access All Areas | Iced Frappe | Pom Pom | Confetti
For someone who loves nail polish so much can you believe I've never tried Ciate polish untill now? This post is going to be pic heavy, You've been warned.
Access All Areas and Pom Pom look quite similar in the pics but they're very different in real life. I hope it comes across in the swatches.
Access All Areas* is a matt creme. I never wear matt polish, I just dont like how it looks on me so always finish it off with a glossy top coat. The colour is described as 'mouthwatering coral orange' and I would have to agree. Its a shade that would suit all skintones and look lovely on the toes aswell as fingers.
Iced Frappe* is the most subtle of all four shades and is described as 'Nude, coffee delight'. In certain lights Iced Frappe had an almost purple tone but I really like it. Its the type of colour that goes with anything and isnt going to offend anyone.
Pom Pom* is what I would describe as a young red. You know how some shades of red just look really mature and grown up? Well this isnt one of them. Its a rich mandarin red and quite in your face. I really like it.
Confetti* can be worn on its own or layered over other colours. It has a clear base and is packed full of holographic micro glitter. Under some lights it just looks silver but as soon as you go outside or under bright lights it sparkles like crazy.
One coat of Confetti over Iced Frappe.
Iced Frappe & Access All Areas only needed two coats. Pom Pom needed three as with only two it looked a bit streaky, and Confetti worn alone needed three coats which is great for a glitter. I used top coat on all four but as I said, Access All Areas is a matt polish. The brush/bottles are easy to hold and use, the polish dries quickly and all Ciate polishes are 5 Free. Free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP (dibutyl phthalate), formaldehyde resin, camphor and cruelty free.
What Ciate colours should I go for next?
All four colours can be found on www.ciate.co.uk and are priced at £9 each for 13.5ml.
