QVC Ciate Set of 2 Very Colourful Manicure Profile

Ciate, a UK based nail polish company, has teamed up with QVC to offer a set of 2 Very Colourfoil Manicure kits. These kits essentially contain everything (except topcoat) that you need to create super colorful foil manis. I chose to review the set that came with the Pink/Gray, but there is a Mint/Gray option as well (I may that one next)!

Price

This set of 2 retails for $46, but is priced at $27.50 on QVC with a featured price (as of the time of this post) of $24.95. 

Where to Buy

Step 4 - Quickly pull off foil sheet and some of the foil will be left behind on the nail.

Step 5 - Repeat on each nail. You can then repeat the same steps with each color foil you wish to use until you achieve the look you're hoping for.

My Thoughts

I absolutely love this kit! I've seen foil manis in the past and loved them, but I've never attempted it myself. For someone that is far less skilled in nail art than in makeup (I can paint my nails a single color without a hitch, but makeup is by far my forte'), this is like "gorgeous nail art for dummies" for me! The effect is lovely and it was so easy to apply. It took around 45 min start-to-finish for me to complete this mani and I used each color foil in the kit on each nail. The value in the QVC set is amazing. You could easilly split up the 2 kits and give them as gifts for the holidays! I'm thinking nieces/siblings and office swap parties--right? I think any nail polish lover will enjoy these sets, but especially those of us that are still novices when it comes to nail art! I plan to fool plenty of people with my flashy fingers into thinking I can do more than swipe some polish on these digits.

I actually sent pics of my nails right after doing them to my sisters and a couple friends--they were dying over them! Hubs thought they were particularly impressive as well. Definitely fabulous in my book!

What do you think? Would you try QVC's Ciate Very Colourfoil Manicure sets?

    1. Thank you! Right? I can work with face and eye product like it's nobody's business, but polish? 1 nicely applied color is about where it stops for me ;) Maybe an occasional dot or swarovski'd mani. This was SO easy and it looks so fun!
