Blockbuster Pop Brights nail polish collection // Should you?

I am definitely a fan of nail polish. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I change it at least once a week. Either because I get bored of the colour, or because it only lasts 2 days (mostly the latter). I have yet to come across any brand that I prefer, until now that is!

Now, I was always a firm believer that a nail polish should do just two things. Be pretty, last longer than 24hours and not take a million hours to dry. Okay! I know thats 3, but doesn't everyone feel the same? Your there on your weekly nail routine, you've taken ages choosing the colour based on the forthcoming weeks events and also what mood your in. Black for bad bright pink for good and glitter for specials. You get the gist.
Your all finished, tucked up in bed and proud of yourself for making it all the way here without having smudged your nails. Then suddenly, there it is! Half of your newly applied polish. gone!! It's either disappeared completely, or is kind of hanging on for life on the side of your finger. Sometimes you can save it, but more often than not this is a lose lose situation.

I did a bit of a naughty a few weeks ago and treated myself to some bootiful polishes by the name of the the Blockbuster Pop Brights collection from Ciate. With these polishes you get 10 shades in total and although they are named the brights, I wouldn't necessarily call them all bright. They are all very beautiful yes, but would you call a dark blue a bright??

When they first arrived, I actually wasn't sure about them... But once I swatched them, I was sold! They appear a completely different colour on the nail compared to in the bottle.

Sherbet fizz - In the bottle, this looks more of a red than it does on the nail. When applied it is opaque in 2 coats and looks like a pearlised pink. I think its one of the most beautiful in the collection.



 Headliner - A beautiful teal colour, which applies nicely and is opaque in 2 coats. Again, this is not a favourite of mine, but not because of the formula, its just that it's not my favourite colour in the world.

Monte Carlo - This polish is incredible!! It has flecks of silver, teal and pink in it which contrast against each other so nicely making it really stand out. Once on the nail, it dries very quickly and even though it is a glitter, it does become quite opaque in 2 coats. I know I am contradicting because I said I don't really love teal, but this is different. (honest...) This is a definite party nail!

Holiday Blues - A turquoise polish, that is very nice and again as with most of the collection is opaque in 2 coats.

Regatta - The only one on the collection that is opaque in just one coat. It is kind of a pearlised polish that appears black, then blue with some blue shimmer running through it depending on how the light catches it. It reminds me of a beautiful night sky.
