Ciate Paint Pots: Festival Fever spring/summer 2010 Collection
I already mentioned that I got the new collection of Ciate polishes, so yesterday I made some swatches. It’s called Festival Fever. It looks like my camera hates the colors from this collection. I had a lot of trouble with capturing the realistic colors. But the sun helped with some shades this time, so I didn’t have to adjust the colors in PS, because I really hate that. Here is a picture with all six new shades in bottles:
*****
Talent Scout: nice cold toned grape purple shade. Very pigmented, so one coat is enough. The first second I saw it, it reminded me of China Glaze Grape Pop so I made a comparison. As you can see on the photo, Grape Pop is one shade darker than The Talent Scout. They are not dupes, but they are very close.
Ditch The Heels: I truly don’t know how to describe this color. It’s definitely green. I will go with medium pastel green. This is two coats.
Fun Fair: nice pastel bubble gum pink. It’s opaque with two coats.
Main Stage: medium berry color. This one looks exactly the same like Essence Very Berry. This is just one coat!
Headliner: dirty medium blue with little green undertone, but the green can’t be seen under all lights. It needs two coats for full coverage.
Access All Areas: This is very tricky color. The first photo of this polish looks like neon orange. It’s actually bright medium peachy color with orange and pink undertone. This one is so unique. It also needs two coats for full coverage.
Half of this collection is nothing special. It doesn’t have any new colors that we haven’t already seen, but the other half is quite unique. Ditch The Heels, Headliner and Access All Areas are the shades that you must have. The formula is also great. I have to give credit to Ciate for improving their formula of polishes, because they are not thick and sticky anymore so the application of the new shades was great. Bravo!
This is all for today
See you soon, Lyra *

Bravo, Lyra, super fotke!
I have these and i love love love them. I agree – Ciate’s new formula is fantastic and the colours apply so easily – often in one coat. ( im going to Glastonbury this summer and these colours are SO festival). Your nails look amazing in the pictures.
They are awesome!
I really like access all areas!

Prekrasna kolekcija! Šteta što nisu dostupni u Hrvatskoj
Hvala!
Nažalost, poštarina im je užasno skupa! Obzirom da Hrvatska nije u EU i da spadamo pod ‘rest of the world’ poštarina je 13GBP što je neisplativo.
Šteta, tako krasno izgledaju. Swatchevi su ti jako lijepi, ali njihov dizajn mi je totalno oduševljavajuć!
They are all very gorgeous ! Main Stage and Headliner are my faves
Oh wow these look beautiful! I am just really stopping myself from buying Ciates to keep my stash from going out of control.
