This fall, don't get stuck in a rut wearing just one polish! If you think you can't wear a certain color, you just have to find the best one that suits your skin color and tone. Polishing your nails is a fail-safe way to dress up any outfit!

I am a nail polish nut and have a big collection. I would like to share with you how I shop for nail polish so I have a nail polish for whatever occasion in whatever season. 5 different brands and shades from each color group that I think are nice basic hues to have. You just have to choose the right hue for a particular season!

Polishes last a long time as long as you keep them tightly closed and store them in an airtight container away from direct sun light. When polishes get sticky and too thick, use a dilutor like Bobbie's Nail Polish Solvent.

Tonight was Kerastase's big Elixir Ultime launch at R Space. I will be blogging about it in MegaStyle so watch out for it!

Anyhoo, guests were required to wear either pink, violet, gold or green. I wore a green and violet off-shoulder romper, and of course, makeup and nails to boost:

I got a lot of compliments for my makeup look. Yes my dears, the eyeshadow I am wearing is from none other than Fanny Serrano. As I have mentioned in my previous FS single eyeshadow review post, I really love it's blendability, texture, and color intensity. Never mind that their selection doesn't include a whole lot of matte shades because the shimmer shadows are just FAB!

Eyeshadow color is Lavender Dream, and my nail polish is Green Minded from Caress.

Try it out ladies!

I’m feeling florals and lace, pearl earrings, pastel pink and coral lipsticks, despite these rainy days.

This is the first time I tried Caress’ Rose Beige (P22.75). The color is more on the coral side than it is rose, so I think the name of the polish is a bit misleading.

The color is a delicate shade of coral and the consistency is just amazing. It doesn’t thicken (just what I indicated from my previous polish post) after a few applications. It remained its consistency all throughout that’s why I love this polish.

You don’t have to spend so much money on polish because these local brands are coming up with great formulas now a days. Specially for someone like me who change nail color frequently, depending on my mood for the week!

The nail polish stays on for about 3-4 days and doesn’t chip or peel off easily. That’s why I would recommend this brand to you ladies out there, and I would definitely buy more colors soon!

I changed my nail color again, this time I decided to take a break from the shades of reds and pinks and decided to go for a little more on the earthy, natural side.

I bought this polish last week. I figured that I will find the perfect time to wear it, the time was now.

The name of the polish is Foxy Brown from Caress (P22.75). I just love that it’s on the darker nude side. It’s wearable for both day and night. I found that it goes with every outfit too! It may have a little bit of a blue undertone making it look a little on the violet side, but it’s definitely more on the brownish nude.

It has a little bit of iridescence on it but it’s not exactly glittery which gives it a little bit of sexy shine.

The formula is a little bit more watery than Caronia which makes it easier to apply. However, it takes more applications (about 2-3 coats) to get the full effect of the polish. I don’t know, maybe putting nail polish on yourself is just harder than having nail specialists apply it for you.

Caronia and Bobbie nail polishes get really sticky as soon as you apply that first coating on your first finger. Maybe when air mixes with it, it immediately thickens leaving you with really thick glop on your nail forcing you to reapply leaving a big mess. Caress however remains it’s light consistency which is the same as the ones from OPI or Orly.

I think from now on, the next time I get new colors, I’ll get them from Caress. Unless the others have new colors that they don’t.
