Oscars' 2012 Best Dressed

It's the time of the year again - the most glamorous day for Hollywood where we're all excited NOT about who's gonna win the award but who's gonna take home the BEST DRESSED title! Right or Right?? As I've said before, there's no such thing as WORST DRESSED (for me); it's all practically in the eye of the beholder! And since, I've made my entry about Oscars' Best dressed for 2011, I felt like I should make one for this year too! After all, It's the Academy Awards!

I wasn't really that updated with the Oscars' this year compared to the 83rd; maybe because I wasn't able to watch any of the films that are nominated but one thing's for sure - My eyes waited for these fashionable celebrities to touchdown the red carpet!

Nail It!


I have always been fond of having my nails done since I was a kid and when I started college, I have been deprived of wearing the most wonderful colors for 4 years since It was required in my course to NOT wear any nail polish.
After I graduated, My mom and my sisters opened a salon as our small business in front of our house and since then, I have been changing my nails' color from time to time. 
I've worn different hues of Black, Blues, Pinks, Purple and my favorite -- Red! I have worn all shades of Red Nail polish and even tried out some French tips whenever I feel girly. 
One time, my mom opted to buy for another brand of Nail polish in the US instead of using our usual Brand which are also bought there because she finally found one that lasts longer, cheaper and has variety of colors to choose from. The Nail polish' brand was SANTEE and I couldn't agree more! Its the only nail polish that lasts in my nails for about two weeks or more and has great colors that can instantly brighten up my complexion. I instantly fell in love with it and even our customers doesn't have anything bad to say. In fact, we have customers from different places like Cebu and Manila who goes home here in Cabanatuan to have their nails polished with Santee, and yes they said it lasts longer so they kept on coming back in our Salon. 
I was too happy with the feedbacks so I told my mom to buy different colors and shades that Santee has, she Bought almost every shade and one color that grabbed my attention was the NUDE one.
 I was into browns before, but I've never tried to wear Nude color, so when I saw it, I instantly had it painted on my nails and voila!! -- it was a great choice. 
After that, when I saw news trends about Nail Polish for Spring/Summer, it seemed like NUDE was counted too. I was so happy that my mom made a great choice on this one and that I tried it and It worked for me and Ill be just waiting for the right season to come! HAHA!
So now that it's already SPRING and SUMMER is just around the corner.. Finally, I had the guts to say "enough of RED". i had my nails cleaned and opted for NO NAIL POLISH two weeks before today and had it painted in NUDE again! =)
I know we all have different opinions or favorites when it comes to colors, of course we also have to balance the right hues that will match our complexion and taste or even our auras when we put on nail polish. so to help you with choosing the right colors for spring, look at these pictures below and call your favorite salon for an appointment ASAP! =)

  • BABY BLUE -- Yup! you heard it right, pastel colors are so back. thanks to Chanel for making blue oh so hot to wear again. It is perfect for summer because of its pastel color. Wear it on an outing in the beach!
CHANEL VERNIS in RIVA
  • WHITE -- If you love donning a French manicure, this will be a great alternative to lessen the girl effect of French tips. 
CHANEL VERNIS in WHITE SATIN
  • PINK-- Try different shades of Pink. Baby pink, Fuchsia Pink, Hot Pink and skip RED and Save it for some other time! Spring and Summer is about color, so do not be afraid to wear them!  
CHANEL VERNIS in MISTRAL and RIVIERA

  • NUDE -- If you are already wearing bright colors for your clothes this season, I suggest for you to wear a nail polish that's classic like NUDES. Especially if you don't like to change your polish every now and then, this hue will compliment almost every color of your outfit that you'll be wearing in any occasion and in any place. Just keep in Mind that when you're choosing a Nude Color, find the one that's similar to your skin color. It could be browns, light nude, beige, mocha, tan, so you can get the perfect NUDE. It is also a plus that this nail color had been strutting down the runway shows. you're on the trend, so wear it! =)
DIOR VERNIS in NUDE 
SANTEE in NUDE
This is the COLOR I'm wearing RIGHT NOW.
SANTEE in NUDE
Which is also available in LIGHT NUDE
Remember that whatever color you choose, make sure you're nails are cleaned very well so you wouldnt have to look at a yellow stained nails after wearing them. Goodluck!

Oscars' 2011 Best Dressed

Oscar 2011's most awaited moment -- RED CARPET FASHION!

We all have different opinions regarding who rocked the red carpet and who among them must call a stylist, but It really doesn't matter at all! Why? For me, There's no rule in Fashion, for it's an art and ART can be artistically created or made abstractly! 
Blake Lively is one of the epitome in fashion nowadays for young people like me and i admired her even more when she said that she doesn't think that fashion lovers need a designer wardrobe to have great style.  
 “The one thing I've found is that no matter what you wear, if you feel good in it and you love the way you look, that’s all that matters.” - Lively told InStyle 

and I agree!! we should wear our clothes depending on how comfortable we are when were in it, as for me, i'll wear that dress if I feel like I'll look good on it, if im comfortable wearing it and If I love the dress. We don't always need to be "maki-uso" you'll have to make a statement of your own and that's where you'll shine!

So, Let's get back to Oscars! As you can see, its my pleasure to seek through celebrities' red carpet dresses and I always post My Best-dressed choices but definitely there's no  "worst-dressed"! as i have said, there's no rule in fashion, you can wear whatever you want, whenever you feel it! Yes, sometimes there's these distracting clothes or questions like Yahoo OMG's "What were they thinking" but come'on! it's not for us to decide!
 that's why we have the So called "BEST dressed" We just choose which is best that suits our (viewers) taste and to those who couldn't make it on our list, they can be called "Least BEST dressed" but don't say WORST! please, WORST is WORST!! let's just  mind our own business!! hahaha!! So, enough of all the talking and Let's START!
