NOTD: Back To Blue

I have been trying to give my nails a bit of a rest, they've been peeling and breaking something awful recently.  I think it's been almost 2 months now without nail varnish!  Apart from the odd random finger painted with a tester haha!

So for my first manicure in agesss I decided to go with this really pretty blue which is Skinny Jeans by Ciaté.  I got this item in the only Glossybox I ever purchased, which was last summer I believe!  I'm not 100% sure about the cruelty-free status of this brand, I had a look on their website and it says: "Ciate is a 5 FREE brand completely free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP (dibutyl phthalate), formaldehyde resin, camphor and is even cruelty free (never tested on animals)."  I have emailed them anyway to see what they say about ingredients, suppliers and suchlike.

Even though I have had this for almost a year I have never actually used it, and I found the brush a bit weird!  They have a sort of wide, flat brush, which is quite good in general but I found it difficult for getting a nice shape at the base of the nail - as you can see from the pictures - but maybe it will just take some getting used to!

I used two coats of that and then applied one coat of Models Own's Bluebelle on my ring fingers as an accent.

  1. Blue nails are awesome. When did you email them? I'm finding that either companies are extremely slow getting back to me - or that they just don't get back to me at all.. :-/ X

    1. Haha :D I only emailed them just after I posted this so probably will be a few days until I get a reply. Hmm that's weird :/ most of the companies I email reply eventually haha but I have had ones who haven't replied at all. If they don't I tend to try get them on facebook or twitter!

  2. One of the reasons I stopped getting Glossybox was because I didn't want to risk getting products tested on animals. :/

    That is a very beautiful blue though! Don't have one like that in my collection - only have navy and pale.
