Are You Ready To Go To This Fancy Party?

Vanavond de laatste twee lakken van de Ciaté winter pack: Velvet Tuxedo en Cocktail Dress. Het zijn zeker niet mijn minst favoriete lakken van allemaal, ik heb (naar mijn mening) het beste voor het laatst bewaard.

Tonight I'm posting the last two polishes that came in the Ciaté winter pack; Velvet Tuxedo and Cocktail Dress. These aren't my least favorite polishes of the bunch, on the contrary.. I feel like I saved the best for last.




Cocktail Dress is een rozeachtige rood of een sterk rode roze. Ik heb geen idee hoe je deze kleur noemt, maar het is een prachtige fascinerende kleur. Dit is drie laagjes, geen topcoat. Bij twee laagjes zou ze al dekkend zijn, maar aangezien ik daarvoor Iron Butterfly droeg en deze restjes achterliet die ik niet wegkreeg, had ik drie laagjes nodig. Dit lag dus aan mij en niet aan de lak. Ik heb drie foto's gepost omdat ze nogal lastig was om vast te leggen. Naar mijn idee is de tweede foto het meest kleuraccuraat. Cocktail Dress is een vrolijke, vrij heftige kleur, maar zeker geen neon of bijna-neon. Deze kleur lijkt me fantastisch voor in de zomer.

Cocktail Dress is a pinkish red or a pink that strongly leans towards red. I really have no clue how to call this color, but I think it's fascinating. This is three coats, no topcoat. She would be opaque in two coats, but I had some polish underneath my tips. I worde Iron Butterfly before I started swatching and, well, Iron Butterfly didn't want to go from underneath my tips. The polish being opaque in three coats is my fault, not from the polish itself. I posted three pictures because Cocktail Dress is one tough cookie to capture. I think the second picture is most coloraccurate, but it still is slightly off. Cocktail Dress is a happy, somewhat heavy color, but certainly no neon or nearly neon polish. This polish is gonna look lovely in the summer!



I adjusted the settings of one of the pictures a little so it's more coloraccurate. It's brighter than this picture, but colorwise it looks the same!





Velvet Tuxedo is een donkergrijze lak met shimmer en een licht frosty finish. Dit is twee laagjes, zonder topcoat. De lak toont wat streepjes van het kwastje, dus als je deze lakt moet je het wel netjes doen. Applicatie was net als de andere lakken erg goed. Ik vind deze ook weer erg mooi. Ik ben de laatste tijd wel into de donkere lakken en dus doet deze het goed! Velvet Tuxedo zou wel eens een dupe kunnen zijn van P2 Spacy. Ik zal binnenkort een comparison doen :).

Velvet Tuxedo is a dark grey polish with shimmer and a slightly frosty finish. This is two coats, no topcoat. Velvet Tuxedo is a bit brush strokey. Application was as good as with the other polishes and drying time was good. I really like this one. I'm really digging the dark polishes so this one is no exeption. Velvet Tuxedo looks dupish to P2 Spacy though. I will do a comparison soon :).

So here's what I think of all eight polishes! I loved most of them, with the exeption of Ladylike Luxe, since she didn't look good on me. I really loved the colors; they were well pigmented. All polishes were opaque in two coats. Application was good with all of these, only Ladylike Luxe gave a bit of problem since she didn't dry too well. I really like all of them and to be honest, I didn't think they'd be as good as they are. I didn't hear of the brand until I read about Ciaté on MUA and placed my first order. I'm glad I did!

Thank you for reading all of my posts about Ciaté. What do you think of Cocktail Dress and Velvet Tuxedo? Did you like the polishes in the winter pack?

Thanks for stopping by!

PS: I'm getting really frustrated with Blogger atm since uploading won't work in the way I want it to. It keeps rotating my images and I don't like that! I will contact Blogger to solve the problem. I'm sorry for the rotated pictures!
