Dangerous Affair, Caviar Pearls Prom Queen, Enchanted Rose, Halo
I first spoke about my Ciaté advent calendar here, so now that it's all over I thought I'd do a little recap and show you some of my favourites. I absolutely LOVED opening this every day and I didn't miss the chocolate at all. Annoyingly I kind of knew what I was going to find every day because everyone kept posting it on Instagram but it was still nice and know I'm left with all these amazing nail polishes. I did think that there were a few too many Caviar Pearls and I would have maybe liked two and the rest be nail polish, but hey, that's just my opinion.
So there you have it, in the photos above, my eight favourites. They include the ever so chic and neutral 'Fade to Greige', the perfect Christmas day red glitter 'Enchanted Rose' and the gorgeous pearlescent, iridescent 'Halo'. 'Twilight' is a very unique black with gold flex and I love 'Power Dressing' which I think is my first navy blue nail polish. I found applying 'Dangerous Affair' to be really easy and it's a very sophisticated deep red that I used in this nail tutorial.
If you had this calendar, what were your favourites?

This is such a great idea, I missed this last year, but fingers (and nails) crossed they will do it again this year.

This calandar is truly a nail varnish lovers dream! I would have happily swapped my cadbury's chocolate one for this!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of vintage and fade to greige :)

Oooh oh, Fade to Greige and Twilight look right up my street! Too bad the surprises were ruined, but not a bad loot of polishes to be left with in the end! xx

I really like this calender. I wasn't able to get it but it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the black one with the gold glitters!
I had this calendar and it was great. i would love to get another one like this again, although maybe with different colours in! I agree about the caviar peals, it would have been good to maybe have their velvet manicure included as well so you got a little bit of everything.
ReplyDeleteIs is insane - I reall wish I got te calendar. Maybe post a giveaway with the ones you don't want? xo
ReplyDeleteI wish I got the calendar last year, it was such a good idea! Ciate polishes are amazing! xx

Some gorgeous colours!

Will have to check this out this December, as a nail polish junkie this is right up my street.
ReplyDeleteI wanted one so bad but the calendar had already sold out by then. I'm soooo jealous!
ReplyDeleteXx Lana from sweetaslime.be
They look lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I am definitely going to have to make this my advent calender next Christmas! Enchanted Rose is so pretty but Twilight is my favourite from this selection, it's so sparkly and different!

Great picks! I looove the look of Twilight, it seems like quite an unusual colour. Halo looks like a very pretty top coat too.

These look gorgeous, but I have kind of been put off Ciaté nail polishes after seeing one that my sister bought - an exact dupe for Topshop's Hidden Treasure for less than half the price, yikes!
ReplyDeleteThey do look lovely though xx
i am so very jelous that i got a chocolate advent calender and not one of these..
ReplyDeleteThe colours are amazing. i would have loved to open this day after day..
Defiantly getting one of this next year!!

Love all of these, they look amazing, I especially love the caviar nail pearls, they look so cool! This advent calendar looks so good, wish I had known about it before! xxxx
ReplyDeletehttp://www.unstitchedd.blogspot.co.uk
'Vintage' has to be my favourite, the shade is to die for!
ReplyDeleteUntil Christmas just gone I had no idea these sort of beauty advent calanders exsisted and I am definitely getting at least two next year! This one looks incredible! I have a ridiculously extensive nail varnish collection and I would have loved this for Christmas! Unfortunately I had a plain old chocolate advent calander, but I definitely wouldn't have missed chocolate in lieu of nail varnishes! I love the cavier ones so if you feel you have too many you know where you can send them ;)
ReplyDeleteAlexandra Lauren Rose
Ahhhh they look so cute like little Ciaté babies!
ReplyDeleteMust get one of these next year

Wish I'd had one of these! Everytime I see Fade to Greige I want it a teeny bit more, it looks so beautiful and sophisticated, but still interesting.

These are so cute, nice variety in your favourites. I really wish I had this advent calendar but it was sold out by the time I heard about it. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI love the one that has them little balls in, it reminds me of one OPI nail polish. xo <3
ReplyDeletehttp://styleitwithme.blogspot.co.uk/
It must've been the best advent calender ever! Much better than chocolate! I have never tried Ciate polishes. The sparkly red one looks lovely! x
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to purchase that advent for my mum! Some of those colours look so gorgeous. Dangerous Affair definitely looks completely up my street! Great little post :) xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a great advent calendar, I hope they do another one next year! I love Affair and Enchanted Rose. X
