About Us

Charlotte Knight, founder and Creative Director of Ciaté, is one of the nail industry’s best kept secrets. Starting off as a salon based nail technician with her own chain of nail bars, she has since become one of the UK’s leading session and celebrity nail technicians. With her experience working on fashion shows, magazine shoots and in her nail bars, she saw a gap in the market for a nail fashion brand that embodied everything she looks for in beauty brands in terms of luxury, sophistication, femininity and fun whilst keeping it affordable and accessible to all.

Ciaté stands for colour, innovation, aspiration, trend and extraordinary and we aim to live by those words every day. Discovering beauty in the most unusual places and embracing the best elements of beauty, art, science, nature, fashion, design, travel, lifestyle and architecture is the driving inspiration behind Ciaté.

Our brand philosophy is built around understanding a woman’s love of affordable luxury and nails being the perfect canvas for self-expression and individuality and the ultimate fashion statement accessory.

Ciaté produces stunningly beautiful and intensely pigmented colours, each developed to become modern cult classics synonymous with artistry, fashion and design. We combine our all-encompassing inspirations with our knowledge of colour to create stylish finishes such as crèmes, shimmers, sheers, pearls, mattes, metallic, glitters and iridescent finishes.

Beautiful nails need love, care and the Ciaté treatment range hence the need for utmost efficacy in the professional high performance ingredients we use.   Our treatments, hand and foot care products give your hands and feet the nourishment they deserve.

Our sophisticated and effective packaging is designed to make nail painting an effortless and pleasurable experience. The elongated handle enables a significantly enhanced grip for easier application, a 250 bristle flat brush guarantees a flawless even application and the bottle ergonomically designed to sit comfortably in the hand enabling maximum control.

Ciaté is gradually developing a reputation as fashion forward colour innovators. Quickly gaining a loyal cult following with celebrities, designers, press, bloggers and fans all over the world. We aim to launch four seasonal collections a year catering for the limitless possibilities colour brings to individual artistic expression. We do these frequent collections so we can offer something for everyone and encourage creativity and individuality, which fashion is all about.

Ciate is a 5 FREE brand completely free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP (dibutyl phthalate), formaldehyde resin, camphor and is even cruelty free (never tested on animals).
