Review: Ciaté Mini Mani Month Advent Days 1-6

Here's my first blog post of four on the first 6 days of Ciaté's Christmas Advent Calendar; the Mini Mani Month.

Day 1: Snow Globe

An iridescent glitter flakes topcoat, perfect for winter! It shines in shades of pink, blue and gold. You need to have several coats for a good covering of glitter however. I layered it over some pale blue polish for an icy look.

Day 2: Boudoir

A vibrant true red that glides on so smoothly. Dries with a beautiful gel like sheen.

Day 3: Hopscotch

A little disappointed to get a bright orange shade in this advent calendar - it couldn't be any less wintery/Christmasy! So close to the red shade too, I want variety! Fairly sheer, needs at least 3 coats.

Day 4: Miss Mistletoe Sequins

Glad to have this even though it's more red! Lovely to have some super sparkly nails though - but perhaps too much for every nail ;) a perfect companion for this glitter is day 2's Boudoir.

Day 5: Encore

As you can imagine from my comment on Hopscotch, I was hugely disappointed to get yet another shade of orange. This advent calendar was starting to feel very boring. I actually opened day 6 earlier just in the hope that it wouldn't be another day of orange! It's a cute terracotta orange and perhaps during summer I'd have been more pleased to receive it, but I never wear shades like this in winter.

Day 6: Sugar Plum

Finally back to some cold wintery shades; a beautiful pastel purple with some pinky tones. I really loved this shade! It applies really well, like Boudoir, sleek and shiny. This is definitely my favourite pick so far from the Ciaté Mini Mani Month.



Overall this wasn't quite the enjoyment I was hoping for from my first few days of my Ciaté advent calendar; there really were far too many similar colours in a row - worse still, they weren't even wintery. I wouldn't mind an orange thrown in here or there, but 2 in 3 days was overkill and I couldn't bring myself to keep wearing orange nails! That aside, the polishes are good quality and really do have a professional finish to them. I look forward to the next 6 days and hope to see less orange!!

Don't forget to pop back soon for days 7-12 of the Ciaté Mini Mani Month advent calendar!
