I know and choose Caronia for so many years. Caronia became a certified household nail care brand with its TV and radio commercials, catchy jingle and through the use of admired celebrity endorsers. 

Caronia has been the go-to nail polish brand of Filipinas for half a century now and the brand still holds their reputation of being the most trusted nail polish brand in the country.

Perfect timing as we start on summer by switching up your nail color to so something more fun and enjoy the summer activities.

For the Tropical Glam collection, we also opted to focus on softer but shimmering pastel colors that can mix and match with any outfit or with any activity most girls have planned for the summer,” said by Caronia Brand Officer Rachel Enciso. 

Whether heading out to the beach or just frolicking in the malls, girls can fabulously nail their summer vibe by putting on any of the fun pastel, summery, and glittery shade of Caronia’s Tropical Glam collection.

Vivienne Rudd, Senior Beauty Analyst at Mintel, a famous marketing research company in the US, revealed that groomed nails have a positive impact on confidence to some extent for eight in 10 women and six in 10 of all adults.

Now, with these summer colors, girls will not only have confidence and positivity but style and glamour as well. The collection is truly for “girls who are glamorously summer crazy”

The Tropical Glam collection has six trendy and glamorous colors in two collection packs – the Tropical Glam Shimmer set and the Tropical Glam Metallic set, that girls can choose from.


Tropical Glam Shimmer set is composed of Limelight, Primrose, and Fantasia.




Limelight is a glittery ocean green shade and, just like the ocean, it sparkles in the sun. Primrose is a baby pink in matte finish perfect for a rustic summer feel. Fantasia is a glittery darker pink shade that sparkles with any outfit;


Tropical Glam Metallic set consists of Fairy Dust, Lumina, and Ethereal.



Lumina has a light gold shimmer that perfectly gives off that earthy summer vibe. Fairy Dust is a metallic silver like the sparkling waves of the sea and Ethereal is a shimmering deep rose gold that blends well with any outdoor summer activity.

To amp up the summer fun vibe, Caronia has released a first edition of a DIY Nail Art magazine to its partner salons nationwide and girls can choose from an assortment of nail art concepts using the Tropical Glam collection.

L.A. Santos with millenial version for "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig"

Young singer-actor L.A. Santos now embodies millenial version for "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig" revival.


I called him #Petmalu, teen singing idol last time I met him. L.A. has done quite a remarkable job in the entertainment industry. A recording artist under Star Music, L.A.  has several songs that hit the radio stations including "Miss Terror," "Mine," "Ikaw Kasi," "Bakit Ang Pag-Ibig," "Hanggang Kailan," "When I Was Your Man," "Forever's Not Enough," "One Greatest Love" and "Tinamaan, " "Grown Up Man," and "Anyare."

Epitome of the essentials for the millennial version of ‘Isang Linggong Pag-ibig.”



Thus veteran singer and entertainment producer Imelda Papin described young singer-actor L.A. Santos 

“Given his qualities as an emergent millennial artist in the contemporary music scene, L.A. is the best to revive the song among the male singers,” Ms. Papin stated, adding, “So we finalized the idea. I said, sige i-record na natin. Sabi ko, ako na mag-produce para mas maganda.”

The millennial take of the song gives a more upbeat and RnB kind of feel for the song which embodies L.A. Santos as well as a young adult.




L.A.'s latest single was produced under Papin Entertainment Productions, for release by  ABS-CBN’s Star Music.

A composition of Mon Del Rosario, the original Imelda Papin song "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig" was released in 1992 and became an instant phenomenal hit. It dominated the local airwaves for a substantial time period making the producer earn a multiple platinum sales record.




LA felt very grateful and honored that among all the singers today, he was given the opportunity to sing a classic song that many can relate to. 

At the recent blog conference held at Papa Kim's in Tomas Morato , Quezon City, LA shared how he met Ms. Imelda Papin. He said that he was the front act in the Jukebox Queens Concert.

During their rehearsal he got the chance to talk to Ms. Papin about his style in singing, his genre of songs, his love for classic songs and that he told Ms. Papin that he is a big fan of her music. 

Ms. Papin gave him a lot of advice when it comes to singing. Gladly that Ms. Papin even introduced him to her vocal coach. 

LA said that he was a big fan of Ms. Papin and he also love the song "Isang Linggong Pag-Ibig" as he always listen from his mom, who also a fan of the song and of the well known OPM singer Jukebox Queen Imelda Papin. 

L.A   also loves to act. He recently was part of the action film "MARIA" starred by Cristine Reyes under Viva Films. When asked who he wishes to work with in the showbiz, he mentioned "Janella Salvador." 




The emergent recording artist, L.A. also said that he will also try to produce and continue to compose his own songs and, prioritize his study. He is a student at University of Santo Tomas (UST).




L.A. enjoys online musical platforms like Spotify, Apple Store and doing the music video.
