Tis the season for Fuschia Pink Nails! & Lady Gaga is hot in McQueen - Bad Romance




As Wall Street investors begin their profit-taking activities like every year-end, the fashion and entertainment industry continues it colourful festival furore relentlessly in the form of Victoria Secret's Fashion Show 2009, New Moon saga, and snake jewellery from Mr. & Mrs. Pitt.


The no-show from last weekend was spent up North with the Dream Team. Is was a well-deserve break from the tireless city lifestyle that included low connectivity and near zero form of contact with the rest of the world.


The altitude sure played its part, topping off with crisp air and fresh spring water, no wonder the locals were endorsed with flawless skin (sans any BB cream) and luscious crop. As we converge in this World Heritage from all over the region, one thing was for sure; the must-have nail colour this Christmas. Residing in different parts of this world, coincidently or not, all five fashionistas were spotted in the same keratin hue. Fashion sure knows no boundaries, and if you are wondering, the color for this winter is Elsa Schiaparelli's fuschia pink with a tinge of magenta - the brighter the better. It's the same degree of brightness (in neon yellow, green, red) designers used to ward off all grey spells from the economic downturn early this year.










To get those great nail color, you can try: Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Fast Nail Color (Flashy Fuchsia Frost - #14), retail price $12.90 in most drug store or OPI's Brights (That's Berry Daring -NLA46)




The gobbledygook of, "Rah-rah-roma-mamaa-ga-ga-ooh-la-la!" during our parents-to-be road trip visit was probably one in the bag. The then-newly-released video off "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga, is the dream of every Stylissimo. Drool over the Alexandar Mcqueen footwear while you take a piece from the video, Enjoy!

Beauty: Dove Grey Nails

Just when you thought Dove grey nails are so over,
you're wrong!

According to our Style Damsel, the whiter shade of gunmetal lacquer from 2007, continues to be the "IT" color to be spotted over your keratin!

It all started when successful Indian brand, OPI, unveiled "Moon over Mumbai" for their Spring 2008 palette.

Before you squirm over the thought of having that dull, boring, eeeky-looking hue over your well-maintained (we hope) nails, we thought you should take a look at this:

Isn't the unstated grey a perfect mix of class and style?


Even celebrity style mistress, Gwen Stefani, is rumoured to be in love with Barry M's Matte grey nail polish!


If you are unsure if this hue suits your skin tone, you might want to try using OPI's online studio to "test on" these lacquer (You can find Moon Over Mumbai under their "India" collection):
