Classic Nail Polish Shades

We've been asked tons of times about what polish shades are best use for a particular occasion or season. Polish brands do have beautiful seasonal collections but if you want foolproof nails that you can use any day or season we suggest you go with the following:


1. Barely There Nudes

Nude nowadays does not simply mean skintone, polish manufacturers have a line up of pink, white and light brown nudes. These beauties imply simplicity, understated sophistication and innocence to any wearer. They definitely make you looked polished without getting much attention. These shades also look great if your rocking that fab engagement ring. Our suggestions: Essie's Mademoiselle, Ballet Slippers, Eternal Optimist & OPI's Play the Peonies

2. Fierce Reds
Need that extra confidence? Fierce reds are the extra push you need to perk you up any day or time. It's timeless (yes, even decades ago red polish was the polish shade of choice) and can go from formal to playful. Our personal favorites Essie's A-list, Aperitif & OPI's Big Apple Red, Really Red.


3. The French

We can't talk about classic polish shades without talking about the French style. Though it's a classic it definitely has the stare quality, people can't simply ignore this tasteful style. It's power to transform drab to fab nails is unquestionable and what's best is that it suits almost every complexion!

4. Rich deep shadeChannel your mysterious side by using rich deep shades, these usually come in red, brown or even black tones. Gone are the days when these shades are reserved for gothic girls. Be sure not to overdo things by applying these shades to short to medium length nails. Long + dark colors may look vampy. Our bestsellers Essie's Bordeaux, Luxedo & OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark, Get in the Expresso Lane

All shades available for use when you call for home service with Celebrity Nails Makati Please call 401.7789 or 0917.5657765. Polish availability may change with prior notice

What's a spa party?!

We've gotten tons of inquiries on how spa parties are done, what it's like and how it goes. To ease you all on these questions we've prepared a rundown of everything spa party!

What are spa parties?
Spa parties are just like the usual parties that you throw on certain occasions, the only difference is that there are spa activities / treatments that are available to guests. Guests are indulged with massages, facials and nail treatments. The camaraderie, fun and excitement is still alive for you and you're guests are pampered altogether, side by side. Imagine chatting, having manicures and sipping your fave drink all at the same time!

For what occasions are spa parties recommended?
The possibilities are endless! In fact who needs an occasion to gather friends and loved ones? Most often, spa parties are done for bridal showers, birthdays (kiddie and adult) and corporate team building events. Spa parties always give that added ooomph to make any gathering special and memorable.

What happens during spa parties?
Most of the time the spa session itself is the highlight of the party, guests are treated to their preferred services (or some hosts prefer to make their own "spa menu"). Most clients serve meals to compliment the free add-on snacks (chocolate fondue, chips & dips, red wine & cheese, popcorn) that we throw in depending on the package that you choose. Games & other programs (musicians, demos, etc.) are all complimentary to any spa party.

Do I need to prepare meals for my guests Do I feed the spa specialists?
The matter of meals is entirely up to you as the host but we highly suggest that if your budget permits, it is best to prepare light meals that compliment the spa theme. Sandwhiches, cold cuts, simple pastas are refreshments very apt for this type of event. As for our spa specialists, regular spa party clients are not obliged to provide food for our spa specialists however a little extra for them will be highly appreciated. On the other hand corporate events that have time or venue constraints are requested to provide food for the specialists assigned.

How many guests can you accommodate in one spa party?
No matter how big or intimate you plan your party to be, Celebrity Nails will be happy to suit your requirements. From a spa party date for 2 to a whole day spa event for a company with hundreds of employees Celebrity Nails can be of service. To date the biggest spa party we've done was comprised of 300 guests all done within a day.

Do you have a spa party set-up? What do you bring during the party?
Celebrity Nails prides itself as the company that brings the nail spa to your doorstep, we are the very first home spa (and being badly imitated!) to bring everything we need for the service that our clients have chosen. Same goes true for our spa parties. We bring everything we need from chairs, tubs, water heaters and even extension cords! We even go out of our way to make your party special by adding other zen elements like aromatherapy, music, decor & fresh petals. For spa party bookings Php 25,000 and up, Celebrity Nails Makati will bring in upgraded fresh floral arrangements.

Can you suggest the best venue for a party?
Since we are a mobile nail & body spa, we don't have a brick and mortar facility where you can do your event, but luckily due to our mobile nature we can go anywhere from hotels, serviced apartments, function rooms and even your homes! Wide open indoor spaces are best bets for spa parties, for these areas are easy to set up and your guests can freely socialize without space constraints hassle.

How much should my budget be for a spa party?
Celebrity Nails Spa Party Packages range from Php 4,000.00 (for kids) and Php 6,000.00 to Php 10,000.00 (for adults). A conservative budget would be Php 300.00/guest (for kids) and Php 600.00/guest (for adults) while generous hosts would spend Php 500.00/guest (for kids) and Php 1,000.00/guest (for adults).

How do the packages work? Are there services under each package?
Unlike other spas who dictate what services they offer for certain packages, ours are highly customizable for they are fully consumable. For example, I booked for a Php 10,000.00 package, I can freely choose how I wish to spend the 10,000.00 by selecting services from our spa menu. If you don't fully consume your package, the total package cost is still the amount payable due to us. Subsequently, you can go over the Php 10,000.00 limit and pay for the extra. To add value to the packages we've thrown in add-ons like giveaways, chocolate fondue, chips, wine the choice of which depends on the package chosen and ofcourse on your personal preference.


How many personnel will attend to my spa party?
The number of personnel depends on the spa package you choose.
Disney Package (Php 4,000.00): 2 to 3 personnel
Beverly Hills Package (Php 6,000.00): 3 to 4 personnel
Broadway Package (Php 8,000.00): 4 to 5 personnel
Hollywood Package (Php 10,000.00): 5 to 6 personnel


Is the Hollywood Package your biggest package? What if I feel like my guests will go over the Php 10,000.00 limit?
Our spa specialist will continue on performing services even if you've reached your chosen package limit (unless ofcourse you give prior instructions to stop at a given budget). However if you feel like our consumable amounts are too little, please feel free to choose 2 or more packages or please get in touch with us so we can give you a proper quotation.

Do you offer discounts on spa party bookings?
The packages in themselves have added value in form of the add-ons, however special considerations are given especially for bulk bookings (30 guests and up) and corporate accounts.

Can I add more personnel?
Yes, you can add spa specialists at Php 1,500.00/specialist. The Php 1,500.00 fee is likewise consumable in spa services.

How long are spa parties?
Like other parties, a 4 to 5 hour timeline is suggested. We however adjust to our client's preference provided that there is no booking after your event.

Do you have lead times?
For spa parties that fall under our regular packages a lead time of at least 24 hours is advised. For bookings 30 guests and above we advise that you book at least 3 days in advance. For corporate events 2 weeks is a good lead time this will allow us to secure appropriate permits and accreditations from your company.

What's your portfolio like? Have you done spa parties for celebrities? big companies?
We hate commending ourselves, please let the pictures and videos speak for themselves :)

Polish Loot

When I go on vacation the first item on my agenda is to get nail polish. The selections in Manila are very limited so you'll really have to go out of your way to get the latest as well as the most classic shades. Here's part 1 of my loot.OPI's Miss Universe Collection, the pageant season is just around the corner, sure most of us don't have the svelte Miss Universe body but that doesn't mean we can't have a taste of its glitz and glamour. The collection features 4 shades: Crown Me Already! Swimsuit Nailed It! Congeniality is my Middle Name & It's My Year! We have on hand the first 3 shades, sadly the last shade was unavailable at the time I was purchasing my loot.



Swimsuit nail it is a lovely shade of blue green (think Crayola blue green, yes the local crayons we used back in grade school) with very fine glitter of the same shade. Congenialty is my Middle Name like its name suggests is a very friendly shade, never mind the snooty color on the bottle does not give justice to the real color when applied to your nails, it's like bright pink with a slight hint of wine. If there's a runaway winner in this collection it would be Crown Me Already! It's a glitter polish with a clear base, the silver glitters varying in size would definitely make your nails shine. Achieve a foil-like look when you top it over gray or silver polish. Even if you're not a big pageant fan, these colors will leave you gushing like you've won the crown.

Want to try these gems on? You don't need to go abroad or buy yourself all four bottles. Call us 401.7789 / 0917.5657765 and we'll bring these gems plus the nail spa at your doorstep. :)

Massage Cocktails

Most people associate Celebrity Nails with nails, who wouldn't right?! We definitely are experts in the nail field but we also offer other spa services that complete your home pampering experience. Just recently Celebrity Nails Makati expanded its massage team to accommodate the growing requests for massage therapy. Our team is composed of veteran masseuses, all of them with massage experience of no shorter than 5 years. Our scrubs are also noteworthy and a far cry from commercial scrubs that you can buy at your local beauty store. We mix our own scrubs and our formula whitens and smoothens the skin. What's best is that we bundled these two (massages & scrubs) together to create a Celebrity Nails exclusive offering, our Massage Cocktails. Our massages and scrubs are just two of the many body care services available and just a call away from Celebrity Nails.

Please click the picture to view our most recent massage & scrub menu.
