I freaking love this polish. It practically applied itself. The brush was perfection and after two coats of thick, flowing opacity I had hardly any clean up to do. With a coat of Seche Vite it is ridiculously shiny and flawless, and it wore like teflon without chipping at all.
Even better, the colour is totally glorious. It is dark, but never black. Like an Eggplant purple but with a touch more blue. I would wear this polish again and again, and I really enjoyed wearing this mani.
Until, that is, I had a go at water marbling, and covered it in what looked like slug trails. I'm too embarrassed to show you all, but trust me, it was BAD.

That is really, really pretty on you! I only have one Ciate (3 AM Girl) but haven't tried it yet. Wish that brand was easier to access in the U.S.!
pretty :) love your long nails!
Suz - isn't it? A really yummy colour for this time of year!
Loz - hello! Like the name. Ciate mistress is one of my favourite reds, I have two bottles because I've worn it as a pedi so often. And I love the bottles, they're lined up on my bookshelf.
Rach - shame! Are they expensive to import? Then again you have loads of awesome brands to make up for it...
Jenna - thank you, it's a very flattering colour I think.
Beautiful shade of purple. A true eggplant shade. I don't own any polishes from this brand. Might need to buy thiis one.
Gorgeous mani! And I have to say, I love those Ciate bottles. They're so pretty! <3
That is such a pretty color on your long nails.
This is a great color. I like that it's very dark without turning black.
I live for dark vampy colors like this! Have never heard of this brand before- where did you get it?
Thanks Lucy and Jim!
I Drink Nail Polish - agreed, they're my favourite bottles. They're the only ones I leave out to be seen.
Fingers - I got this colour as part of a set from asos (for my 21st so I can confirm this stuff lasts well!). I know asos ship internationally, so might be worth a look?
Sarah - me too, the colour stays remarkably consistent in different lights.
