Swatch: Ciate - Mini Mani Month Day 21 - Magic Carpet

This is a purple / pink glitter in a clear base. For the swatch I used two coats and used the dabbing technique you can clearly see the nail so I would really recommend wearing this on top of another polish.

Swatch: Ciaté - Mini Mani Month Day 18 - Glass Slipper

Glass slipper is a blue glitter in a clear base which means you can use it on top of another polish. For my swatch I used Ciaté Power Dressing. It is really densely packed and in the swatch it is just one coat. Only this I noticed was the smell of the polish, it was really pungent! Could have done with a snowflake or two to turn it in to something better for this time of year.

Swatch: Ciaté - Mini Mani Month Day 17 - Cookies and Cream 058
