Every day should have it’s golden moments.

Today, this email from Barry’s Tea was my golden moment:

“Dear Caroline, I wanted to let you know about an awesome event that’s happening next Wednesday, 27th October 2010. Sharmadean Reid, the founder of WAH Nails will be the star guest at next Wednesday ‘Barry’s Tea With…WAH Nails’ at The Loft, Powerscourt Townhouse, Dublin.

Ah, if ever an event was made for me; I love Barry’s Tea, and nail polish, and Beaut.ie, and Powercourt House, AND next Wednesday is my birthday! Serendipity eh. AND, the best bit about this news is that all Style By Caroline followers are invited too! If you would like to attend, simply pop an RSVP email to barrystea@thinkhousepr.com.

Ciaté Nail Polish

I’m a fickle glossy magazine reader, so much so, that my purchase is generally based on who’s offering the best freebies.

This month, Marie Claire won out, with a free Ciaté Paint Pot in “Dangerous Affair” (pictured right).

I had never come across Ciaté before so I was keen to try it out, especially when they claim “long lasting, full-coverage” results. Big promises, which to be honest, I wasn’t expecting them to fulfill given that this was a freebie. However, Doubting Thomasina here was well and truly proven wrong. Genuinely, I was extremely impressed by how well this product performed.

• Application: The brush (a 250 bristle flat brush I’m told) is sturdy yet malleable, for easy application. The polish didn’t take an age to dry either, and, importantly in my book, the smell of the varnish wasn’t overbearing.
• Coverage: The coverage is very good; if I was in a hurry I probably could get away with one coat, but I prefer 2 for a polished polish, so to speak.
• Long-lasting: Well, today is day 9 of wearing it and my toenails are still looking as neat and shiny as they did last week, with NO chips! Even wearing sandals for 5 days didn’t seem to unsettle it. Impressive eh! I’ll be keen to see how long it lasts on my fingernails. I’ll be giving it a go this weekend and I’ll report back.

Have you ever tried Ciaté products? If so, let me know in the comment box how you got on.

You can buy Ciaté nail polishes on-line for €10.24 (13ml). Otherwise, but the October issue of Marie Claire.

Yours in style,
Caroline
