A completely frivolous and unnecessary beauty stash addition, but I love it nonetheless: Ciaté’s Dark Choc Pot Nail Polish Remover. Works in exactly the same way as the Bourjois Magic one (see here for that review); you just stick your fingernail into the pot and the remover-soaked sponge quickly takes off everything except for the most annoying, most glittery polish. It just happens to be a bit more expensive than the Bourjois one, and less than half the size, so if you’re looking for pure functionality and value-for money then this is not the way to go. If, however, you want your newly-clean fingernails to smell as though they’ve been dipped in melted dark chocolate (and who doesn’t want that?) then Ciaté’s polish remover should be your number one choice. The stumpy little pot is also much neater to travel with – the standard “Bourjois” size is quite chunky and fills up half of your toiletries bag if you want to take it on your hols. And it doesn’t, y’know, smell of chocolate…

You can add Ciaté’s Choc Pot to your ASOS order online – it’s £6 here.
