Cirque Back to Basics Set - Review & Nail Art

Happy Friday! Today I have another review of Cirque gift set, and some nail art to go with it. I have reviewed their Ultimate Luxe Gift Set and Ultimate Glitter Gift Set, this one is a perfect set for a nail art lover or any polish lover really. 
Back to Basics Set is a staple set that will get a lot of use, I know because I have used these quite a number of times since I got them. 

The set comes in a clear pouch. Here's what in the pouch:

• Holdfast™ Base Coat - A garlic-infused base coat that strengthens and anchors
• Liquid Laminate™ Top Coat - A quick-dry top coat that seals, protects and adds a glossy shine
• Memento Mori - A black creme
• Carpe Diem - A white creme

Memento Mori is now my favorite black creme. It's a one coater! Though here I used 2 coats for good measure, plus top coat.

Carpe Diem is a bright white, opaque in 2 coats. I thought I saw a very subtle shimmer while applying it, but it's not visible at all on the nails.

Cirque also sent me a crystal nail file and their new Tea Tree cuticle oil that I have been using since I got them, very moisturizing and so great in this cold weather. These make a perfect stocking stuffer! 

For my NOTD, I did a simple nail art with Memento Mori and Carpe Diem. A crescent moon leopard print negative space. I hope my stained nails are not too visible, haha. I kinda love this look, and wish I did the shape better on my middle nail. For my thumb, I did a black & white crescent moon and did the leopard print with Memento Mori and Ica Valley.

This Back to Basics Set and the other gift sets will be available for a limited time only, so make sure you'll get yours from Cirque Colors. These shades can also be purchased individually, if you prefer, from Cirque Colors or their stockists (online/in-store)
