Last Christmas, I received beautiful Ciate nail polish sets. I've never tried Ciate's nail polishes so was pretty excited to review them on my nails. It has been a long, long time since I last did a DIY nail tutorial. The last I did them was back in Bar school in the UK!
Anyway, since I wanted something classic on my nails I decided to go for the popular French Manicure (light pinkish base with a white tip). However, I'm never great at doing white tips so I decided to have a glitter tip. Not an uncommon nail tutorial, but here's how these Ciate nail polishes look like on my nails. I am impressed!

What you need:
Do hover your mouse over the images below for more details and click:
- Brush one layer onto nails as a base coat. Let it dry. Note: I am a serious fan of Sally Hansen's double duty base and top coat because they not only dry so quickly but they really protect my nails and nail polish!
- Brush one layer of Ciate's Amazing Gracie. I only used one layer and was impressed at the thickness of the polish. I liked how much the colour almost blends in with my skin. These didn't take too long to dry, and it didn't have a strong polish smell which was great.
- Once the Amazing Gracie polish has dried, brush a layer of Ciate's Sloaney, Sweetie over the tip of the nails. Let it dry and voila, you're done!
- You may wish to brush a top coat, but I was happy with the slight texture.
The Glitter French Manicure is one of the easiest nail polish DIYs to do especially when you have quick drying nail polish! I definitely can't wait to try the rest of my Ciate nail polishes!
