What's with all the amazing freebies magazines are giving away lately? Glamour, In Style, Marie Claire...I must have spent a small fortune on magazines. I can't get enough of that Benefit Porefessional stuff, I fear I may have to buy a full-size one.
Marie Clare is giving away Ciate polishes with it's June issue (not bad considering they're usually £9 a bottle) and this is the one I got.

Purple Sherbet is a pale, dusky lilac creme. It's super subtle but really pretty. I used three coats to build up the opacity a bit.
This is my first Ciate polish (I've been a bit put off ever since the whole caviar manicure fiasco) the formula is great and easy to work with, but no better than a Barry M or a Models Own and they're much cheaper! The bottle is SO cute though, and I am a sucker for a pretty bottle, and I do like the wide, flat brush, so I would consider buying more of these.
I imagine it's only a matter of time before I get polish on the bow...
Very pretty shade :)
ReplyDeletePretty. :) I like the Ciaté bottles too, but the bow annoys me a little.. I just know I'm going to end up ripping it off by accident or something.
ReplyDeleteI love the Ciate bottles too, really cute but the bow sometimes gets in the way. At first glance I thought purple sherbet looked the same as Barry M - Berry icecream but your swatches make it look paler? So I think I might have to pick up purple sherbet!
ReplyDeleteYeah it is paler, I'll probably do a comparison post!
DeleteSweet looking color and the bottles are so cute!
ReplyDeletei love it !! the bottles are so pretty, i only used mine once and i got polish on the bow!
