Last Saturday, I had a birthday lunch to attend with the ladies in Tagaytay City at Marcia Adams Restaurant. All the light sweaters that I own are drab colors of brown, gray and black. I just realized that I didn't have colored sweaters.

For those of you who know me, I just love colorful stuff. When I dress in black, I color my nails in bright colors, or maybe a bright colored lipstick.

I decided to wear a black and gray knitted sweater that day, black latex leggings, gold shoes and a really dark purple purse, actually I don't know the exact color but for your reference, it's the LV Amarante color. That being said, I felt like Miss Autumn. I had dull colors on and I wanted pops of color to brighten my drab outfit.

That's when I remembered the unused BYS neon eyeshadow palette in my stash together with the blue liquid liner. A gift from a friend who thought of me when she came across the palette in SM. (Aww... Thanks Dessie!)

I have always been addicted to nail polish.

I am one of those girls who can't last a day without wearing nail polish. You know how some people would say "you are never fully dressed without a smile?" well, I say, "you are never fully dressed without nail lacquer".

As early as 5th grade, I was addicted to nail polish. Colors here in the Philippines back then were limited, so I would ask relatives who lived in the US to buy Hard Candy Nail Polish for me. I could only wear them on weekends because the school didn't allow us to be too "kikay", so... I was at my fully dressed on weekends. I have a collection of more or less 50 nail polish colors now and growing. I take extra care of them by keeping them in the fridge (yes! You read that right, it's the fridge) because it was said that it lasts longer this way. I don't want to get into detail about that, but you can Google that one.

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.
