Dose of Lola

I was swatching the new Ciate Doll House collection, which is a mini set of six "porcelain finish" polishes, and I had to stop and do a full mani with Poppet because it's gorgeous!






3 coats Ciate Poppet stamped with Konad White

Ciate Poppet is a pale lilac with a bit more pink in it than what's showing up in my swatch. The finish is an extremely smooth, matte creme that really does look and feel like porcelain. I stamped Poppet with an image from BM-404 and Konad White. It reminds me of wallpaper, and I want to put it on my walls!



I'll have a full review and swatches of all of the polishes in this set up soon.

2 coats, Nfu.Oh 50 accent

Ciate Pool Party is a vibrant cobalt blue crelly. It's a little darker than my photo in most lighting, but it looks like this in direct light. Talk about stunning, right? This is my favorite shade of blue. I just love how clean and focused the color is. Pool Party dries matte, so I'm assuming there's some neon pigment involved.



The formula is outstanding! It applied so well, and it is quite pigmented. Perfect consistency, too.



Ciate Pool Party retails for $15 and is available at Sephora

I stumbled upon these little guys the last time I was at a SiJCP.






Ciate Heirloom, Antique Brooch, Love Letter

However, I have not seen this set anywhere else. Not in free standing Sephoras, the Sephora website, and not even in other SiJCP's I've visited. Weird, huh? When I expanded my search beyond Sephora, I did manage to find full size bottles of most of the collection at Nordstrom.






3 coats

Ciate Heirloom is an Orly Space Cadet dupe. I won't try to describe the color because I will fail. It's a stellar polish, but it's not at all unique. Next!






3 coats. Ignore the dent - I'm a klutz

Ciate Love Letters is a stunning orange to pink duo with two sizes of pink sequins. This is like Sally Hansen Lava with glitter added. I'm pretty much obsessed with Lava, so naturally I'm even more obsessed with Love Letter. Don't worry, I already ordered a full size bottle.







Ciate Antique Brooch is a sheer gold base with two sizes of light pink sequins. 3 coats is opaque in some lighting but not at all opaque in direct light. I'd wear undies with this guy.



The consistency of all three of these was thick but manageable. This means they weren't goopy enough or annoying enough to thin, but they weren't perfect.





The Treasured Possessions collection is still a bit of an enigma to me. You can definitely get two of the three I've shown you today at Nordstrom ($15). There are others from the collection up, too. I can't find Heirloom, but Space Cadet is more cost effective anyway.



The Treasure Possessions mini set retails for $25 and is (supposed to be) a Sephora exclusive. I imagine they will get the full collection at some point.



I will definitely update this post with more info if any of this becomes more clear to me.

About me

As a kid, while everyone else was collecting Pokemon cards, I was collecting Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My addiction to lip balm evolved into an addiction to all things beauty – from makeup to hair to nail polish.
