Fall is just around the corner, and one of the hottest trends this year is nail colors. With celebrities flaunting the coolest shades from Los Angeles to New York City, this top 5 list will give you the low down on the hottest nail color shades to rock this fall.
Number 5 – Classic Black
No one can go wrong with classic black nail polish. Especially if you buy Chanel’s Black Satin. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Kidman have been seen walking around the streets of Hollywood with this shade on. With the right outfit, say a white tank top, a colorful scarf, and short jean shorts, you will be turning heads with this celebrity nail color in no time.
Number 4 – Ruby Red
Fall is a great time to wear a shade of red on your nails. Last fall, celebrities like Hilary Duff and Lo Bosworth were seen sporting this nail color. What’s great about red is that you can wear it with a variety of outfits and with both casual and formal attire. One brand that I think makes a great Ruby Red is NARS. It is the shade called Rouge Andalou. An outfit that I think would look great with ruby red nails would be a knee length, form fitting black dress.
Number 3 – Dark Purple
Fall is a great time to show off your edgier side with darker shades like dark purple. With the darker color pallet of clothes that you will be wearing in autumn, dark purple will be subtle yet rich. Celebrities love being discrete, and lately Lauren Conrad and Mischa Barton have both been wearing this color around. You know it’s going to be a hit on you with celebs like LC and Ms. Barton rocking it on the red carpet. And Paradoxal by Chanel is definitely the dark purple shade you need this fall.
Number 2 – Nude
The reason I love this color is because it blends in so well with the fall colors around you. Miley Cyrus, Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Lopez, and Paris Hilton love showing off their picture perfect nails in this color. This isn’t a flashy or showy look, and it looks great for formal events that you will be attending this fall. Pair your nails it with a black top and some beige pants like Angelina Jolie did, and I’m sure you’ll be getting some compliments this fall. Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. by OPI is a great brand for **** nail polish.
Number 1 – Robin Egg Blue
This craze started in the spring, with Beyonce first introducing the world to the trend in her “Why Don’t You Love Me” music video. People catch on fast when celebrities like Beyonce wear a hot new nail color, especially the people at Chanel. They seem to be on top of every nail trend these days, and they didn’t disappoint with the Robin Egg Blue color either. Their Nouvelle Vague color is definitely the color you need this fall to mix it up a bit. However, the color is hard to find, so look around! Celebrities as big as Ke$ha, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Port, and Jessica Alba all love this color. Pair this shade with some cute jeans and a mute tone top, and you’ll be the envy of your friends in no time.
I hope that you enjoyed my countdown of the top 5 celebrity nail colors of Fall 2010. Remember to always mix it up and have fun!

Whether we like to admit it or not, the current trend for “bigger is better”, particularly when it refers to the diamond engagement rings worn by celebrities, is having an impact on what we are buying.
According to Celeste Ohrens, from New York Diamond Traders, “In the six months following J.Lo’s engagement to Ben Affleck, we sold more pink diamonds than we’d sold in the previous six years!”
And despite the fact that THAT engagement ring has been replaced with another equally stunning jewel, copies of J.Lo’s six-carat pink diamond are still selling well at many Internet jewelers.
When Marilyn Monroe breathlessly purred “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” (as if we didn’t already know!), I have no doubt women everywhere secretly coveted the baubles Ms Monroe wore, but such flamboyant displays of excess would have offended the sensibilities of any self-respecting 1950s homemaker.
Not so nowadays. We’ve come to expect the ultimate in quality and quantity, and if that equates to wearing a 3-carat diamond ring similar to that worn by our favorite celebrity, more power to us!
Whether celebrities are seen as the arbiters or slaves to all that is considered stylish, the engagement rings gracing the left hand of such stars as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Madonna and Ashley Judd attest to the fact that their choice of ring design is influencing (or is influenced by) current trends.
Jewelers like David Feinstein from Feinstein & Co, Boston, say “The hottest look in engagement rings at the moment is the revival of antique cut diamonds and we are trying desperately to meet demand”, making Catherine Zeta-Jones’s antique-style 10-carat marquise-cut diamond ring, Madonna’s 3-stone Edwardian-style ring and Ashley Judd’s antique pave-set diamond ring hot favorites when it comes to replication.
The size of the diamond is also influencing current styles, and according to the Diamond Information Center, the traditional one carat solitaire diamond engagement ring has now grown to three and four carats.
One only had to witness the jaw dropping display of jewels at this year’s Oscars – some $40 million worth – to reinforce the notion that in the minds of most celebrities “bigger is better”. Never mind that their cherished booty had to be returned to the vaults from whence they came next morning.
But our ever-increasing fascination with all things “bling” begs the question “What about the poor sucker who has to PAY for this excess?” The traditional measurement for any would-be suitor to determine how much he should be willing to part with for the engagement ring was arbitrarily set at three months’s salary, which is fine if he’s earning a healthy six-figure salary. But try telling Joe Schmo, whose monthly budget doesn’t extend much beyond the local Thai take-out, that he’s up for what could be many thousands of dollars, and you’ll see his face (not to mention his wallet) crumble.
Which brings me to my final point. The value of your engagement ring is not simply measured in monetary terms. nor is it measured by whether your best friend’s diamond is bigger, or whiter, or more extravagant. And it’s certainly not measured by whether it looks just like J.Lo’s most recent accessory (and I mean the ring, not the husband!)
Your engagement ring is a measure of the value of your relationship and what it means to both of you, now and in the future. It’s a symbol of all that the two of you share, whether you’re wearing a 2-carat rock or a dime-store copy.
Just remember, your local jeweler is probably a whiz at re-modelling, so you can always upgrade later!

Breast implants are one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed on females. While many women across the world have this procedure, most news certainly seems to revolve around celebrities who have undergone the procedure. One of the reasons for this is that we are simply a celebrity obsessed culture. We look to television, music, and movie stars as examples of what a woman should look like, and we find many different examples. There are many celebrities who have had ****** implants for various reasons, and here is a look at just a few of them.
A unique choice of ****** implants has been chosen by Victoria Beckham of the Spice Girls and wife to England footballer David Beckham. While many celebrities choose to have subtle implant procedures, Beckham chose rather large implants that are quite prominent for her body type. Many surgeons as a rule would most likely advise against the procedure, yet Beckham has managed to create a very stylish and elegant look for herself, proving that sometimes the success of the surgery is also about the personality and style of the patient.
Demi Moore is another example of a celebrity who has undergone the ****** augmentation procedure. Moore has had multiple surgeries, changing from smaller to larger ******* on a few occasions. She has always chosen her surgeons well, however, and her ******* have always suited her natural physique, which is the true hallmark of quality augmentation.
Perhaps no celebrity ****** augmentation has garnered more attention lately than that of Christina Applegate. Upon learning that she had a tumour in one of her breasts, the star of many hit television shows opted for a double mastectomy augmentation surgery during which she received double implants. The procedure provided great medical benefit to Applegate, and has left her looking as stunningly gorgeous as ever. One of the biggest benefits has been that it has changed the public opinion about ****** augmentation. Applegate’s case has helped people realise that ****** augmentations hold a very valid place in society and can offer great benefit to people who have cancer or are at high risk of developing it.
Celebrity ****** augmentations are common. While each case is different, all of the celebrities listed here found the best surgeons for their cases. If you are considering ****** augmentation surgery, look into the reputation and record of your provider. With the right surgeon, you can get implants that improve your body image while fully suiting your body style and physique.

If celebrities know one thing, it is how to stay beautiful. Just imagine the pressure they must be under to always look their best. In the case of the A-list actors and actresses, they can barely leave their homes without being photographed. Those photos end up on the covers of every magazine in every supermarket checkout in America. Poor Britney…
In recent times, a number of celebrities have launched their own skin care and cosmetic lines. It makes a lot of sense, if you think about it. Why not capitalize on the fame they have established in their respective careers? Smart celebrities have taken the endorsement scenario to another level entirely. Instead of endorsing existing products, many of them have simply launched their own lines.
Cindy Crawford is one such example. After a highly successful modeling career, Cindy dropped out of the modeling scene to settle down and start a family. A few years later, Cindy decided to capitalize on her name by launching a line of specialized skin care formulas. She partnered with the famous French cosmetic surgeon, Jean-Louis Sebagh, to create Meaningful Beauty. They offer a wide range of skin care products designed to reduce free radicals and stimulate the growth of collagen, both of which are necessary to fight the effects of aging. Well done, Cindy!
Fresh-faced freshmen, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, are everywhere these days. These girls have been in the entertainment industry since they were just a few months old, and they have build up a veritable cosmetic and fashion empire in recent years. These girls are highly influential with the “tween” crowd. They have a wonderfully fun line of cosmetics for young girls, that includes metallic mascara and sparkle applications that are crayon-like in their appearance. Smart kids, indeed!
Jessica Simpson has also started her own line of skin care products. After her recent television and movie endeavors, there is no doubt that she should be exploring her career options. Her line of skin care products is called Dessert Beauty, and is produced in conjunction with a fellow named Randi Shinder. This line is more focused on lotions and lip balms with scents like strawberry and vanilla bean. It’s good to see that Jessica has plan B in effect!
