Applying nail polishes every Sunday has been part of my routine ever since we've settled into the new house. It's a little something I do to get me ready for the workweek ahead. It's pretty laid back in the office so I can also wear a load of different colors, even the bright and cheerful ones.
This nail polish from Ciate called Chinchilla is a bluey-gray colors that is the perfect mixture of cheerful and subtle so I can wear it even when I travel to our office HQ. It's what I have on my nails today and yes, I got it from SM.
SM now carries Ciate nail polishes but I'm not sure if all SM branches have these. I got this from Makati if you're interested. This cute mini version is also the perfect size because I've never finished a whole bottle of nail polish in my life (except for topcoats but that doesn't count). In my opinion, Ciate nail polishes are up there with Essie in terms of quality. The wand is not as thick but it deposits the product evenly and you only need two coats to build up the color. I applied the Seche Vite top coat and I'm happy to say it's been a few days and I only got minimal chippings on the tip. Ciate comes out with a lot colors that come in a collection so there's always a new color to try.
