Untried Polish Challenge Day 1: One Color

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I know I am. Yesterday I posted about the new polish challenge created by Jonochi over at Just Add Polish. We have a lot of other bloggers joining us too! Check out Masha over at Lost in Lacquer, Raine at Lacquer Lily, Amy at Fancy Side, Sam at Polished Art, and Patricia at Polished and Glittered. Alright that's all of us! Let's begin with the color I chose. 


This polish is Cupcake Queen by Ciate. I will probably be using a lot of the Ciate mini's because I got the advent calendar set of 28 at Christmas and I have let many of them sit untouched. This color reminds me of butter LONDON's Disco Biscuit. Here it is on my nails: 


This color is a really pretty hot pink with some blue shimmer undertones, just like Disco Biscuit. It's very hard to see the blue with my camera, but if you get Cupcake Queen in the sunlight it shows up pretty well. It has a great formula. It's not thick and it goes on very smoothly. I used three coats because that's my preference but two coats looks fine too.

Well there isn't much to say about this polish beyond that. I know both Ciate and butter LONDON are expensive brands, so I understand if you can't afford to get these polishes right away. If anyone knows of a drugstore brand that is similar let me know! I hope you enjoyed this very simple Day 1 Challenge. The next challenge is two colors and is scheduled to post on the 24th of April.

  1. What a pretty color. Also, I'm totally jealous of your nail length. Can't wait to see what you post next.

  2. It totally does remind me of Disco Biscuit. Love it. Might be cool with a tip or gradient of Disco Biscuit if it wasn't only supposed to be one color (and untried ;))
