Dec 19 - Underwear: A base coat that contains lotus flower to help strengthen and protect the nails and the polish to last longer (not shown in the photos below)
Dec 20 - Ivory Queen: A sheer, shimmery pale pink nude color
Dec 21 - Confetti: A gorgeous sparkly glitter polish to use either as a top coat or to wear on its own for a radiant look
Dec 22
- Christmas Tree: A lovely, fun caviar mix of shiny green, red and silver beads for a festive accent nail, or maybe as a French tip on a silver base.
Dec 23 - Locket: A beautiful, silver polish, that gives the impression of crushed crystals so the glitter is a bit more rough cut than Confetti
Dec 24 - Serendipity: A stunning old fashioned rose pink glitter polish

This year's calendar definitely had a lot of lovely polishes and it was great to have both a base and top coat included too. I love that there was a few effect polishes and caviars in it too, but personally I would have liked e.g. a mini velvet, and also some more variety in the shades, perhaps a vibrant seasonal green or a lovely deep midnight blue. Saying that, don't for a minute think that I'm disappointed - for me there's no better way to start every day than with a brand new nail polish and you can already sign me up for next year's amazing advent calendar!
I've really enjoyed reading your advent posts. Ciate have had a lovely selection of polish in the advent calendar this year. I like the sparkly ones and locket xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, it's been a great selection, I just wish there was more variety when it comes to the colors! :o) Xx

I think so too, I think I'll get a lot of wear out of it :o). Xx
DeleteI agree with you that the inclusion of some velvet would have been nice. I never bought the calendar this year as a few of the shades looked similar, which is a shame. Still it's nice to get a new nail polish everyday xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful concept of a polish calendar, and I'm really not complaining about what was in it, but I still hope there's a bit more variety next year :o). Xx
DeleteSuch beautiful shades, Confetti looks so lovely - would love to try them all though :-) Hope you had a lovely Christmas xxx

Confetti is amazing for lots of sparkle over a gold polish. Thank you so much, hope you did too :o). Xx
DeleteI loooove confetti! Never tried a Ciaté nail polish before, maybe I should buy one... :D
ReplyDeleteOh absolutely, the formula is super and they have so many lovely shades to choose from. They have a sale on at the moment and you can get yourself some real bargains! Xx

ReplyDeleteThank you so much :o), I'm real looking forward to wearing Serendipity a bit more :o). Xx

The formula is really great and I'd definitely recommend Ciaté polishes :o). Xx
DeleteThis makes me want to get this advent calendar next year. Although I am with you there were so many nail polish blogs up this December.
ReplyDeleteFor me as a polishaholic this is the best advent calendar for sure and it's a great way of trying a new brand too :o). Xx
DeleteOMG! I NEED that red one. I love advent calendars... Wish we had them here in Brazil... It isn't such a traditional thing. =/
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and week!
Ah what a shame, but hopefully you can get the Ciaté polishes - they are brilliant :o). Have a Happy New Year! Xx
Delete*______* These are sooo gorgeous. My favorites must be Confetti, Locket and Serendipity
ReplyDeleteThere were definitely some lovely glittery shades in the calendar this year :O). Xx
