The collection of six new exciting nail shades will enhance, compliment and brighten up your Autumn / Winter wardrobe. Brit born nail brand Ciaté was developed by celebrity manicurist Charlotte Straughan who from her years of catwalk and salon experience knows exactly what does and doesn't work with nail care. The range has everything you need for fabulous feet, super soft hands and manicured nails.

Silk Stocking (Sand)
Femme Fatale (Burnt Orange)
Silhouette (Burgundy)
Starlet (Petrol Purple-Green)

Ciaté Paint Pots are long lasting, ultra glossy, full coverage enamels - Formaldehyde and Toluene Free. They have a unique professional optimum 250 bristle, flat brush to give an even, smooth finish to the nails. They also feature an ergonomically designed long handle and curved bottle shape to make them really easy to use.

For the perfect A/W manicure follow Charlotte Straughan's Top Tips:

• Start by shaping the nails with a file – just make sure you choose the correct file for your nail type. Ciaté have two – one for Brittle nails and one for weak / soft nails both are £2.35 each. Then smooth the nails by buffing away any ridges. Use a 4 way buffer like Fabulous in Five Illuminate & Shine £7.95.
• Get your cuticle's in order with the Ciaté Cuticle Fix. This easy to use pen will add moisture to dry damaged cuticles. Simply apply and massage into dry areas. Then apply a base coat like Ciaté Underwear £7.75 before your colour – this will protect the nail from staining and hold colour for longer.
• Then choose your fave new A/W colour and apply two coats. To finish apply a top coat – Ciaté Speed Coat is perfect as it dries in 60 seconds and will give chip free nails for 10 days!”
