# Sophisticated Suede Nails Ciaté's Incredibly Indulgent Velvet Manicure Pushes Boundaries By Gil Cohen | Published 2012-09-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciate-velvet-manicure References: [ciate](http://www.ciate.co.uk/velvet-manicure.html/) Bold and sophisticated, the Ciate Velvet Manicure encourages taking a more textured approach to the average shiny nail polish. Known for its unconventional nail polish creations, the maker of the 'Caviar Manicture' has once again exceeded our expectations by thinking outside the bottle. In addition to the nail polish, the Ciate Velvet Manicure kit comes with a vial of velvety powder that, when sprinkled on, covers the nails with a rich crushed [velvet-like coating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-classic-clog-velvet-pack). This indulgently sumptuous manicure is hard to get a hold of and difficult to replicate, making it excitingly exclusive. With names like Berry Poncho for the rich burgundy, Mink Cashmere for the soft gray and Blue Suede for the deep navy, these colors are clearly designed to complement a luxurious fall wardrobe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Textured Nail Art:** The Ciate Velvet Manicure pushes boundaries with its textured approach to nail polish, opening up new possibilities for artistic expression and self-expression in the nail art industry. - **Exclusive Indulgence:** The Ciate Velvet Manicure's exclusivity and difficulty to replicate creates a sense of luxury and desirability, offering an opportunity for premium brands to cater to high-end consumers seeking unique and limited-edition beauty experiences. - **Luxurious Color Palette:** The rich and elegant color options in the Ciate Velvet Manicure collection offer inspiration for beauty and fashion brands to incorporate sophisticated shades into their product offerings, appealing to consumers looking for glamorous and on-trend options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Nail Art:** The Ciate Velvet Manicure introduces a new dimension to the nail art industry, encouraging artists and designers to explore textured techniques and create innovative and eye-catching nail designs. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The exclusive and indulgent nature of the Ciate Velvet Manicure presents an opportunity for beauty and cosmetics brands to develop high-end, limited-edition product lines that cater to luxury-focused customers seeking unique and premium experiences. - **Fashion:** The luxurious color palette of the Ciate Velvet Manicure collection can influence fashion brands to incorporate similar shades into their clothing and accessories, allowing them to offer coordinated and on-trend products that appeal to style-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Nail Polish Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-nail-polish-strip.md) - [Chromatic Cowgirl-Inspired Nail Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-west-chrome-collection.md) - [Vegan Manicure Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manucurist-green-system-in-poppy-red.md) - [Sleek Nail Polish Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-pen.md) - [Frosted Rose Nail Lacquers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosted-rose-nail.md) - [Innovative Nail Product Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products.md) - [Nude-Hued Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leighton-denny-nudes-collection.md) - [Pastry Chef-Approved Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-edit-kits.md) - [Cheesy Snack Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheez-it-x-nails-inc.md)
