Ciaté Festival Fever Couple II

Hi all!

Today I have the last of the Ciaté Festival Fever Collection for you. Not much to tell you beforehand since I posted the previous couple only two days ago, so here we go!

Ciaté Access All Areas, three coats in daylight. Access All Areas is a pretty straightforward bright coral creme with a satin finish. I dunno if it's intentional, but it sure makes the coral different from all the other corals around.

Ciaté Headliner, two coats in sunlight. Headliner is a light blue creme with a semi-satin finish. I think I might have gotten an off bottle because I haven't seen this on swatches with Headliner. It still is a pretty color though and it can be fixed with a coat of topcoat!

Application on these two was good, although the finish was (semi) satin. The brush is easy to work with and I find it easy to apply my polish right. The formula was just as the other Festival Fevers I swatched and reviewed, a little on the thick side but no problems whatsoever. Overall I'm really positive about their formula!

I like the collection, Festival Fever; summery bright colors. They're not entirely unique, but I can't say that my stash is filled with dupes of these. The colors are pretty and give you a summer feel - something that we need here in Holland with these big dark grey clouds :(

What do you think of the collection?

Orly Satin Hues - Satin Passion

Hi all!

Het is weekend! Wat zijn jullie plannen? Vandaag heb ik een lak voor jullie uit een oude lijn van Orly: Satin Passion. Deze lak komt uit de Satin Hues lijn die al een tijd geleden uit het assortiment is gegaan. Toen ik haar te koop zag, wist ik dat ik haar moest hebben!

It's weekend!! What are your plans? Today I have a polish from an old line of Orly: Satin Passion. This polish is a part of the Satin Hues Collection, which was discontinued a while ago. When I saw her for sale, I knew I had to have her!


Satin Passion, twee laagjes in daglicht. Satin Passion is een prachtige rode lak met een satin finish. Eigenlijk is ze niet compleet mat, maar heeft ze een soort glans over zich. Erg mooi! Applicatie en droogtijd waren prima. Alleen is het gebruik van het kwastje even lastig, doordat deze een stuk langer is dan de huidige kwast van Orly. De Satin Hues lakken zitten in flesjes van 22 ml!

Satin Passion, two coats in daylight. Satin Passion is a gorgeous red polish with satin finish. She isn't completely matte, but has some kind of shine over her. Very, very pretty. Application and drying time were good. Handling the brush was a bit of an experience, since it's a lot longer than the current Orly brush. The Satin Hues polishes come in bottles of 22 ml!


Satin Passion met een laagje Nubar Diamont in zonlicht. Persoonlijk vind ik haar zonder topcoat mooier, maar zo mag ze er ook zeker zijn! Een echte 'stunner'.

Satin Passion with a coat of Nubar Diamont in sunlight. Personally, I like her better without topcoat, but with the topcoat she shines. A real stunner!


And what's a mani without a little Konad? I used Konad Black Pearl and imageplate M30 for stamping. Doesn't it look cute? (Excuse me for the sunlight overcast, all my pics with Konad turned out this way..)

What do you think of Satin Passion? Do you like her better matte or shiny?

Well, this is it for today. I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!
