Let’s see what’s happening this week in the world of celebrity nails

Rihanna, our favorite nailista, donned some taxi cab yellow smiley face tips at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball in London. They’re cute but maybe not outfit appropriate. I’d rather see gold or red with this look.

Not even a month after giving birth to baby Bronx, Ashlee Simpson stepped out on the town to support hubby Pete Wentz‘s gallery opening at Gallery 1988. She’s wearing what looks like OPI You Don’t Know Jacques. Very on trend! Me likey.

Party girl and The Hills Audrina Patridge rocked some berry tips at the Waiting in Beijing VIP Reception. I’m not normally a fan of her looks and even though the top is a little sheer in the boobage region, I’m diggin the nails.


Reality TV BFF’s Lauren Conrad & Lo Bosworth hit the Hornitos “Midnight in the Garden of Agave” party sporting matching classic red tips. Do these two do anything without the other?

Even more MTV reality stars in the house at the Hornitos event. Tila Tequila and her on again off again gal pal Courtenay Semel also did the matchy matchy nail thing with dark vampy tips. Are matching nails a new trend or just a coincidence?

And even though this is an older picture from Lindsay Lohan‘s 6126 launch at Henri Bendel, I have to thank my pal Jamie from The Beauty of Life for sharing it with me. I just love her blue polish. I’d say it’s Rescue Beauty Lounge Dead Calm unless it’s shimmery. Any guesses on what it might be?

Celebrity Nail Watch – Julia Allison

Julia who? That’s the exact question I was asking just a few months back when my pal Amber from Beauty Blogging Junkie excitedly shared a link to her interview with Julia (a fab read btw). The former Editor-At-Large for Star Magazine, Julia Allison was a “talking head” on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc. Currently she writes a weekly dating column for Time Out New York and lifecasts on NonSociety.com, the website she co-founded with her friends.

Thanks to Amber’s article, complete with a link to Julia’s lifecast, I’m now obsessed with following her daily happenings on my feed reader. She’s beyond stunning, wizard smart and dresses like Blair Waldorf. What’s not to love? Oh and I’m also convinced that I need a shih tzu puppy like her precious Lilly (pictured above).

Anywho, in the interview Julia discussed her beloved beauty products and application tricks. When the topic of nails came about, she mentioned her favorite brands (Essie, Sally Hansen, Rimmel) and that she wears fakes. Oh the horror! You girls know how I feel about that. I’m all natural baby! Now even though I’m opposed, I get it. When you’re on TV and being photographed regularly, having nice nails is essential and not everyone has the time for a mani each week. Though that is not in ANY way an endorsement for acrylics on my part.

I have to give the girl props though. Julia loves herself a bright, funky nail. I was scrolling back through her lifecast archives when I came across a couple of her past nail looks. Yay, I’ve found another green lover!! How can you not adore her?

Being my nosey self and a green fanatic, I tried get in touch with Ms. Julia to find out what she was wearing. FAIL!! Sad that I would never know the name of that lovely green shade, I was delighted and surprised to see a picture of her fridge (pictured below), filled with nothing but nail polish and water, show up on the NonSociety talk show, TMI Weekly. Lo and behold the mystery green revealed!

I spy Nars Schiap, Essie Shorty Pants, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Marine Scene and Sinful San Francisco. What do ya know? Sinful Colors are loved by people outside the nail fanatic world. Good times!

Well Ms. Julia, you may be too busy to email me back but your fabulous nail style is worthy of an All Lacquered Up Celebrity Nail Watch. No matter what Mary Rambin says, I love that you aren’t just a sheer/pink/nude wearing gal.
