I can't believe it's been a whole week since I last blogged. I've been a busy bee this last week- catching up with friends, taking a Saturday day trip with the boy to Leeds and spending most of Sunday in hospital with the boy after he suffered an injury at football- he's going to be OK guys! On top of all this action the Internet connection at my mum & dads house is beyond temperamental- old houses and thick walls do not make the ideal blogging conditions. I've been desperately hoping the Internet will get it's act together so I can get my blog on and what do you know, it's decided to play ball.... so I thought it'd be wise to tell you all about this little beauty.

If you're anything like me as soon as November rears it head you hot foot to the nearest supermarket or in my case, Hotel Chocolat and begin drooling over which advent calendar you're going to have- dark, milk or maybe the traditional Cadburys offering? Well trust me when I say that this year is the year to forget the chocolate and reach for this, the advent calendar to end all advent calendars. 

The Ciate Mini Mani Month contains 24 5ml nail polishes hiding behind traditional advent windows- good job really as otherwise I may have sneaked a peek. The Mini Mani Month is one stylish countdown featuring 17 of Ciate's bestselling polishes- looking at the preview on the box I'm most looking forward to Cookies and Cream, Cabaret and Fade to Greige. If this wasn't enough to wet your appetite there are also 4 mini Caviar blends (the super cute sprinkle like polishes which everyone went crazy for) plus 3 exclusive colours which you'll only find in this set.

So why haven't you got your beauty loving mitts on one already? The Mini Mani Month is sold exclusively in Selfridges but don't fret if you don't have a Selfridges near you, I bought mine online. At £38 this is certainly going to set you back a little more than your usual advent calendar but this  calendar is actually crazy value for money with 4 full sized Ciate polishes costing the same price as the Mini Mani Month, in the words of Ciate....this really is the best gift of all. 

Will you be racing to Selfridges to buy the Mini Mani Month? Which polish are you most excited to try?
