NOTD - Burlesque by Ciate

I got this nail polish free with a magazine last year.  The polish is normally £9.50 to buy and that is way above the amount a cheapstake like me is willing to pay for a nail polish, so to get it with a magazine that cost £3.50 was well up my street!

The colour of this polish is deep purple, almost black - very goth like.  It actually looks good with pale hands like mine, quite dramatic.

I find Ciate polishes a bit difficult to apply.  I have heard others say that the long handled brush makes it easier to hold but I don't really find that.  I don't find that the consistency is that great, I find it a bit thick.  As this is a dark colour the coverage is really good, you can achieve a good finish with just two coats.

My main concern however is again that this has chipped really easily after just two days wear, and this is with a topcoat.  As with all dark polishes it is really noticeable to me so it may have to come off sooner rather than later.

With Burlesque this concludes the B's of my A to Z.  Next I start on the C's and my next polish is a glitter polish from Nails Inc, called Caviar.  I am going to try and layer it over the Burlesque, just to see what effect it gives.  Not sure how well it will show up on top of the dark purple, we'll see next time won't we?

Until then,
