Soft Luxe Summer Nails for Warm Skin Tones (Deep Autumn Approved)



I took inventory of my nail polish collection because it’s summer—and it’s time to change colors, Glow Girls.

I’m laying off the glitter…for now. 😏

These have been sitting quietly in my organizer for a while… gathering dust, waiting for their turn.


And now?


It’s their turn in the sun—quite literally.


These are my top 4 nail colors for the season:

Up top: Rose Pink (Golden Cap) and KKV Avocado 

I think these two would be perfect for days when I take my son to piano lessons. We always have a fun date afterwards. Some people mistake us for siblings. 😁 I thought I’d go along by wearing fun colors on my nails. 

Below: KKV Attractive Signal

This is for days when I go to Greenbelt or BGC and just want to relax or go shopping. The name is so on point with the shade. It’s actually not loud, but it’s a color that would make you do a second look. 


And Minimalist number 29. 

And finally, this mocha shade that looks gorgeous on my nails. These are for days when I just want to breathe. Maybe while I’m writing my next book or blogging. 



Most girls would opt for pastels or bright colors for summer. I can’t wear those. They don’t look nice with my skin tone, that’s why I chose these. 

And if you’re curious… want to see what I was wearing back in the summer of 2010?


Go take a peek at this post.

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
