Ciate Pink Duo for Breast Cancer campaign

Ciaté is one of those brands that any woman can easily fall in love with. The first thing you notice about their nail polishes is the bottles – they are incredibly pretty (in a chic way), each finished with a black satin bow. Next you realise that the varnishes come in a rainbow of shades, so you definitely find the one that suits your personality. And then you learn the important details – the British brand was founded by Charlotte Knight, a celebrity nail artist who knows all the industry secrets when it comes to beautiful manicure; the polishes are free from toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl-phthalate commonly known as the “toxic trio”.

It is the free-from part that made me try Ciaté a few years ago and I am still using their polishes and brilliant fast drying top-coat that I blogged about before.

This month Ciaté site turned pink to support the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. In addition Charlotte also created a limited edition beautiful pink duo made of Pinkalilly (Pink Twilight) and Pinkaboo (Pink Jewel) for you to buy, so whenever a kit is sold, 20% will go to the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.

“The fear of breast cancer is something that heartbreakingly affects women globally. We are delighted to partner with the charity by infusing two of our signature shades with the powerful Breakthrough Breast Cancer pink. Our aim is to empower and inspire other women to support this tremendous cause by declaring their support with a beautiful nail polish.” said Charlotte in a press release.

You can order the duo on Ciaté official website or buy it in Selfridges where you will also be treated to a free Ciaté manicure at the Selfridges Pain Shop when you make your purchase.

In addition, you may also want to read my last year post on how to reduce the risk of the disease by making a few simple changes to your diet and lifestyle.
