NOTD // Ciate 'Poppet' Swatch & Review

I was a little apprehensive of painting my nails in a matte, pastel lilac this time of year but I decided tog o against the 'trends' and try out my lovely new Ciate Dolls House nail polish collection. As I mentioned, I started with this gorgeous lilac shade called Poppet.

I love matte shades but I'm always a little wary of them chipping easily. You can't top coat them unless you have a matte top coat (which I don't) so there is no way to protect the shade.

The nail polish itself applied really nicely. It went on a little streaky at first but after two coats it was fine and it was so quick-drying I could patch up any lighter areas quickly. Once applied it dries to an opaque lilac matte which is just beautiful.

I'm delighted that it hasn't chipped yet! I am wearing my nails quite short at the moment which probably helps but after two days of wear there hasn't been any kind of chips/damage despite not having a top coat. I'll update you when it does chip ;)

I'm so glad I got the Dolls House collection and I can't wait until Spring so I can get more wear out of these lovely matte pastel shades.
