Ciaté Haul

Sadly Ciaté had a flash sale last weekend, I say sadly as it meant I broke my beauty buying ban, again! For nail varnish, something I'm really not short of. I did get some beautiful bargains though, at £4.50 a pot and £12.50 for the beautiful set I think it's a miracle that I didn't buy any more than I did.

So, what did I get?

I'll start with the biggest thing, the Emerald Collection, now I wasn't quite sure what it contained as it was only a photo of the box on the site but anything green I'm having so I went for it. The set includes a paint pot in Ditch the Heels, caviar pearls in Ball Gown, a pot of velvet shaker in Chauffeur, a pot of sequins in Penthouse, application funnel and a little brush. A pretty decent selection of fun nail textures to try out. I particularly love the idea of velvet nails!

Now onto the single pots, Starting top left, Golden Sands is a beautiful natural glitzy shade, taupe with a gorgeous glimmer to it. Next up Spending Spree is an excellent amazingly shiny shade (you can tell by the photo) a gorgeous golden duo chrome which will be applied to my nails ASAP. Going to the bottom line we have a bit more of a mixture of shades, first a beautiful bright turquoise, Headliner a great summer shade. Now a bit more of an effect nail varnish, not a texture effect instead a Glow in the dark shimmering top coat, Afterglow, which will be perfect this Halloween (I'm always thinking about Halloween!). Okay the final one is back to a bit more of a summer shade, or a going on holiday shade, it's just the type you want to wear when it is sunny OR Autumn as this decadent dark, bronzed gold, Gold Digga, makes me think of the falling leaves in Autumn sun.

That's it, I've not exactly broke the bank but I hope I don't get an email from anyone else about a flash sale - especially as I bought something else earlier this week that I'll update about another day!
