Whoever is creating the ideas for Ciate is having a great time! It’s one of the most creative nail brands we have in the UK and they’re constantly reinventing the nail wheel. Just when I am sworn off any kind of nail art, along comes the Tweed Collection and I’m sold. Particularly the red one..It’s Haute In Here.. I want that on my nails right now!

So, the formula works as a mix of matte glitter and sequin strands set in a creamy base rather than clear, now I’ve got my Revolution Glitter Base Coat I am game on for trying this look out. I know that someone did a ‘tweed’ type polish before – it might even have been Empress of Tweed, Chanel, but it was early days in textural formulations and while interesting, was a bit rubbish to be honest. Does anyone remember who it was?
I’ll obviously be swatching as soon as I get my hands on a sample. These have launched for £9 each this month HERE.
NB: I’m glad I swatched before this review went out.. for some reason I had understood they weren’t in a clear base but they are, and as someone commented on Twitter, some are a lot like a ‘feather’ effect we’ve seen elsewhere. I did a very quick swatch – funnily enough, I loved the pinky-gold shade and not the red – it took three coats to get this effect.
Sorry about the quality but they’re quite iPhone snaps. I’m not as taken with them as I thought I’d be although they are pretty statement nails! They need exceptionally careful application but while they’re not a miss, they aren’t quite a hit.

Love the look of these Tweed effect polishes! They look really cute. The blue shades have me quite excited & £9 is a good price.

They look pretty much identical to the nails inc feathers range that was out early last year, although the round dots are quite new.
These look amazing! Can imagine they’ll be hell to remove though!

Love the gold shade, perhaps that one works because its not so loud, and the red one just looks a little weird.

I totally adore this – and £9 is good for a premium product. I’ve also bought the glitter base you recommended (still yet to try it) so would have no problems getting it off 🙂

These look so pretty but I can’t help but think about how long they would take to remove! xx
