Time for my review of the Ciaté mini mani month advent calendar. I bought mine online, from asos.com and used a 10% discount code. I paid about 440 sek ≈ 63 USD.
From left to right:
Amazing gracie - A soft pinkish white crelly.
Members only - A peachy sheer frosty shimmer.
Ivory queen - A peachy cream with gold shimmer.
Serendipity (Full size bottle) - Pink micro glitter in a clear base.
Party shoes - Gold and green-to-blue micro glitter in a clear base.
Snow globe - Green-to-gold flakes in a clear base.

Locket - Silver shimmer base with silver glitters in different sizes.

From left to right:
Pepperminty - Dusty mint green cream.

Pillow fight - Greyish purple cream.
Sugar plum - Lavender cream.
Kiss chase - Soft pink cream.
Play date - Coral cream.
Boudoir - Darkish red crelly.
Encore! - Rusty orange cream.
Hopscotch - Bright orange cream.
Caviar pearls - Christmas tree caviar
Red, gold and green pearls.
Caviar pearls - Frost yourself
Purple, silver and translucent pearls.
Glitter - Jingle belle

Fast drying top coat.
Base coat.
So what do I think? Well, this is a super fun polish collection, if you don't already have over 300 polishes :P I love the fact that you get a base coat and a fast drying top coat. Big plus Ciaté!
I was a bit disappointed though, naming things "christmasy" doesn't make the polish a christmas polish. Same thing for glitters, pearls and sequins. I would have loved to get a metallic dark christmas tree green polish or perhaps a gold version of Fit for a queen.
Members only and Ivory queen are really similar, I have so many dupes and similar polishes so that's fine during other circumstances. But when you only get 18 different colours it feels kind of lame to get two colours that are so alike. I feel the same way with Encore! and Hopscotch, booth colours are great but again kind of lame, one orange polish would have been more than enough.
Snow globe was really weird, it had kind of a jell-O consistency. I think that a make-up sponge is a must when applying it. Besides Snow globe the application was flawless, nothing to complain about there.
What will the final verdict be? As a polish and christmas enthusiast this is a really fun thing to get for christmas. Even though some of the polishes where similar I think I will buy one next year as well. The price is approximately 4,25 sek/ml so it's not that expensive.
What do you guys think, did you get one? If so, what did you think about it? If not, how come?
Until next time, take care!
