You can always trust Ciate to bring something a bit different with textures and I am loving the latest addition to the range. Check out my Ciate Liquid Chalk photos and swatches.

Ciate Liquid Chalk – the Finish

Liquid Chalk is all about a super soft, chalky textured finish in delicate pastel shades. It’s not glossy, but it’s not matte either. I think I would maybe call this a satin finish. The texture complements the tone of the polishes really well in my opinion.

Ciate Liquid Chalk Shades

• Wanderlust – soft mauve (swatched below)
• Sweet Talk – warm nude/greige (swatched below)
• Cheek to Cheek – feminine chalky pink
• Confess – classic nude

I absolutely love the packaging and design on the bottle lids.

Ciate pretty much always has black lids but this time they are white with pretty designs that include bows, hearts and stars. Monochrome perfection!

Ciate Liquid Chalk Swatches

Wanderlust:

Sweet Talk:

Both shades were really easy to apply and they dried super fast. I used 2 coats in the swatches above and no top  coat (obviously because it would change the finish).

I used to be completely obsessed with super shiny, ultra glossy nails bit ever since texture and the matte look hit, I am always excited about what they are going to come up with next! I think this liquid chalk look is a beautiful compromise between gloss and matte. It has a subtle lustre that’s perfectly complements these soft pastel shades.

You can buy Ciate Liquid Chalk bottles individually for £9 and they are also available in colour complementing duo sets for £15, where you can make a bit of a saving.  These new polishes launch in March 2015. Find Ciate at Selfridges.
