As is my tradition, this year I purchased another advent calendar from Ciate, which has a new nail varnish or effect every day from 1 to 24 December. Rather than deluge you with daily updates about my nails, I decided to split the varnishes into three posts – so here’s the first! (If you’d like to follow me every day, you can do so on Instagram here!).

So, here’s the rundown: 1 December, Headliner / 2 December, Sharp Tailoring / 3 December, Girl with a Pearl / 4 December, Members Only.

5 December, Sloaney Sweetie / 6 December, Runway Ribbon (with Mistress) / 7 December, Velvet Tuxedo (with Runway Ribbon) / 8 December, Big Yellow Taxi.

So, which of these shades get the thumbs up? Nab your own advent calendar here.
