Search for THE Yellow!

Every Spring/early Summer, I gravitate towards nice pale yellow colors. If I see any pale yellow polish at stores, I most likely grab them. But the right pale yellow is hard to find. They usually turn out too yellow out of the bottles... So, when I saw some leaked information about Essie Summer collection in Feb on web, I was so determined to get the bottle of Chilato! This may be THE one!!!

AND I wasn't disappointed! This is THE yellow I was waiting for!!! I don't think Essie has lots of yellow polish. At least, I don't know any. But this is so pretty... Yes it is a bit sheer and I needed 3 coats (almost 2 coater, though!), but I don't mind it because it is such lovely pale yellow. You might call it green because it is borderline lemony yellow and pale green. I still call it yellow, though. 

I love love love this color!!! I was so excited that I had to Instagram it right away!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Chilato (pale yellow) and Ciate Snow Virgin (white). I stamped a design from Bundle Monster plate BM-404, using Ceramic Glaze My Skinny Jeans as stamping polish. 

I'm certain I will be wearing this color a lot this season! Do you like pale yellow? What is your best yellow?

Ciate Big Beauty Bus Review!

I like bargains! (Who doesn't?!) I found this Ciate Big Beauty Bus set for $8 the other day! 

The colors in this set might not be very special but I thought the bright assortments would be good to add to my collection. And 6 mini polish bottles for $8?? Why not!

I was inspired by the bright bold colors in the set. For this look, I first painted my nails with Ciate Hopscotch (bright orange) and Ciate Snow Virgin (white). I was planning to use Ciate Pool Party for stamping because it looked pretty opaque but it didn't work well. So, I used Essie Style Cartel (blue) as stamping polish. The rain drop design is from Pueen 58. 

The two colors I used had pretty good coverage. Just two coats were needed. I was impressed by Snow Virgin. White polish tends to be streaky but I found Snow Virgin to be very easy to apply. 

I don't usually do bold colors, so this is quite a bit different look for me. But I enjoyed it! Sometimes you need to go out of your comfort zone!

Have you tried Ciate polish? Do you like bold colors and designs?

Love,
