Get your nails in shape for summer!

As you all know very well, I am a big fan of Ciate and their uber-cool products! This time of year there is no excuse not to sort your nails out for summer, especially your toe nails! If you're not a fan of getting your nails done in a salon or you don't have the cash, I recommend the Ciate Diamond Shine Nail buffer (£4.60) to start off with. It has four different files for each stage of your manicure/pedicure and really helped me achieve shiny, smooth nails, without paying loads in a salon! I love the cool packaging as well.... not that I am a sucker for packaging though.. lol! Has anyone else tried any of Ciate's products, what do you think?

Ciate Hand Shampoo and Hand Cream

I love these gorgeous new hand products from Ciate, that smell good like your favourite pies and are good enough to eat! The four flavours are Apple Pie, Banoffee Pie, Cherry Pie and Lemon Pie - my favourite is definately Lemon! The hand shampoo range contains milk and wheat proteins to gently hydrate the skin whilst the cleansing properties clean and prep the skin. The hand cream range provides you with an all-in-one lotion and is the perfect partner for hands and nails. The light lotion contains aloe vera and vitamin E for relieving dryness. The best bit about these gorgeous products is the yummy smell - my Lemon Pie Hand Cream smelt just like Lemon Cheesecake! The packaging is also super-cute and won't look out of place in your bathroom.

Gorgeous gifts from Ciate!

I am a big fan of Ciate and their nail products, especially their nail files and treatments! I love the cute paint pots and the gorgeous packaging with the bows and the Speed Coat (£8.95) is brilliant for using to finish off and make nails super-shiny! I also recommend the Gloss Up Nail Colour - Recovery Top Coat (£6.50) which is great for restoring faded nail varnish when you can't be bothered to re-paint! I just want to try everything out on their site, it all looks so fab! They also have some Valentine's Day gifts on their site so check then out!

How to achieve beautiful nails..

I have been trying out a few treatments for nails over the past weeks in preperation for the winter months ahead! I really like Ciate's Illuminating Care and Shine Duo Pack(£7.95) which is great for nails and cuticles before using nail varnish. The Shine Buffer buffs away unsightly ridges and remove stains from the nail, whilst the Rice Bran and Almond Oil Cuticle Balm hydrates and protects brittle nails. It makes your nails so shiny it really is incredible. After buffering my nails and using the culticle balm, I used Nail-It! (£14.95) which is a great solution for damaged nails and stopping any ridges or split nails that nail varnish remover can cause.
