These four new metallic shades remind us of beach holidays with a glamourous edge.

The nail lacquer lineup includes Miss Independent (mauvey metal), The Next CEO (pure gold), Rich in Spirit (silvery seafoam), and It Starts with Me (sandy champagne).

"Metallic shades are perfect to wear with all clothing colors, adding some easy edge to your wardrobe," says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI's Executive VP & Artistic Director.

Love, love, love all the metallics that will start us off on the right nail or toe, come January.

Chanel Spring 2011 Makeup Collection Is Black, White and 'Perle' All Over

Chanel always dazzles us with its innovative nail shades and shimmery palettes of shadow and blush. And their Spring 2011 makeup collection is no exception!

It's inspired by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's belief that the light-reflecting effect of pearls enhance a woman's natural beauty by bringing a luminosity to her skin.

For Spring, Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, makes everything radiant with Les Perles de Chanel. The eye shadow palette and powder blush offer pearlized shades of black and white punctuated by illuminating pinks and corals that will leave skin glowing.

For the lips, there are shades of rose, pink and iridescent white in lipstick and gloss offerings. And, last but surely not least, the nail polishes in the collection are peach, white and black infused with pearl.

We're scheduling a post-holiday nail treatment at our nail salon for an uber-chic black and white mani-pedi in Black Pearl and Pearl Drop!

Les Perles De Chanel will be available at Chanel.com, Chanel boutiques and department stores January 2011.

Sally Beauty Rolls Out Holiday Stocking Stuffers: Our Top Five Picks Under

Sally Beauty may be known as the bargain supply store for amateur and professional beauty-aholics alike.

But this holiday season, the national retailer is painting the town red with some of the best bang for your stocking stuffer buck.

We perused all the glittery offerings that just begged to be played with, and found our five favorites that all cash in under .

You know what that means, right? One for you, and two for me...

Each pretty, wearable shade has its purpose engraved in the hetch marks -- so you can go from base and contour to lid and light without any speculation. With eyeliner, mascara and written instructions included, no one would guess it's under .


Beyond Belief Holiday Lotions, .19 each

We were hit with sticker shock of the opposite kind when we learned that these pearlized tubes of yummy hand and body lotion were just under each, and featured delicious scents of spiced pomegranate, gingersnap and French vanilla. The perfect little something to gift co-workers, friends or party guests as holiday party favors.

The one makeup item most women say they can't leave home without is their beloved mascara, and this set of four includes black curl-sculpting, volumizing and lengthening formulas that you can wear alone or layer up for a more dramatic holiday party effect.

Choose from Mistletoe Mischief (evergreen), Merry Mittens (gold-flecked red), Holly Good Times (glittery gold), Mulberry Madness (deep scarlet) Just Plum Fun (grape purple) and Winter Wishes (sparkling silver).

With a regular and magnified view, this gold and jewel-encrusted mirror makes a statement when pulled out of a clutch for a touch-up. And when someone asks if we scored it at that department store counter, we may be tempted to fib and say, 'Yes!'

Megan Fox Hearts Grey Nail Polish

Foxy Fingers: Dashing Diva Nail Polish in matte grey Astor Place. First, she made a Diablo Cody movie. Then, she posed for Nylon Magazine

Then, she posed for Nylon Magazine. And now, Megan Fox is sealing her newfangled (or, in the case of her new movie "Jennifer's Body," just fangled) indie credo with a firmly subversive beauty move - matte grey nail polish.

Our sources tell us that Fox stepped out last night in New York City wearing a shade called Astor Place from Dashing Diva, a purple-based grey shade with an of-the-moment matte finish.

Apparently it was love at first sight - a Dashing Diva nail tech met the 23-year-old star in her room at The Four Seasons Hotel, and she instantly picked the color to match her dark burgundy dress.

This isn't the first time Fox was spotted with grey tips - she was photographed on October's cover of Cosmopolitan wearing dove grey polish.

A solid trend since last fall, grey tips now span both sexes - Seal sported them to this year's Emmys.

Hopefully, Fox doesn't slay him for stealing her look.
