We may have learned a few lessons or two from Mad Men, and now you can get even more beauty inspiration from the show. That's because Mad Men-inspired nail polish is coming our way. With all the martinis being slung around at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, it makes perfect sense that the polish brand chosen for this venture would be a cocktail-inspired line, Nailtini.
Janie Bryant, the costume designer for the series, said she was inspired by fabrics of the '60s, like satin, velvet, and lamé, when creating the limited-edition polish shades ($14). Check out the lacquers - Bourbon Satin (a brown), French 75 (a gold), Deauville (a platinum), and Stinger (an iridescent) - at Duane Reade's Look and CVS's Beauty 360 in a few months.
A monochromatic manicure? That's way too predictable for some stars. Think you can guess who's gone the Rainbow Brite route with her nails? Take the quiz to find out, and be sure to tell us: would you sport the look?
You know how you're really not supposed to put nail polish remover in nail polish to extend its life, but you end up doing it anyway when you're in a pickle? While it's not ideal, you can apply a similar theory to mascara by using eye makeup remover instead. Two drops or so of eye makeup remover added to mascara that's on its last legs can temporarily bring life back to this makeup standby. Proceed with caution: if you've had said mascara for longer than three months, for safety's sake, it's probably best if you toss it.
And if you're really in a pinch, you can fake thick lashes sans mascara. First, dot on eyeliner in between the lashes to simulate thickness. (Watch a video tutorial here.) Curl the lashes for a few seconds at the base and then again toward the middle. For an even more eye-opening effect, apply clear mascara if you have it on hand.
Most of us stay groomed to be healthy and look nice. Too much of any good thing can be bad, though, and there are some personal care activities you're engaging in that can be surprisingly harmful. To find out what healthy habits aren't all they're cracked up to be, just keep reading.

On the Today Show Thursday, plus-sized model Crystal Renn (pictured here) complained that a photographer re-touched a photo he took of her turning her size 10 frame into what she believes appears to be a size 2. (See the video here).

I am in love with the adult version of the stuffed bear.
On a recent trip to Bermuda, I had the best facial of my life at La Serena Spa located in the gorgeous Reefs Hotel & Spa. After the facial, I was led to a chair overlooking the infinity pool below and beyond that the turquoise blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. I was already in heaven, but then my therapist Annelize brought out a cup of tea with milk and sugar and a Bucky NeckWrap that she'd warmed in a microwave and placed around my shoulders.

Reason No. 156 to finally put the brakes on my fabulous single life and seek out a boyfriend: The Jimmyjane massage candle.
My favorite Brooklyn boutique, Diana Kane, carries them and I've gone ga-ga for the scents which are just slightly masculine. This is a good thing because you're meant to light them, blow out the candle and then use the oil for massage. If you worry about burning someone and therefore putting a damper on the evening, don't. Apparently the resulting oil heats to just the perfect temperature.

Actress Katie Holmes debuted a new shaggy 'do at the New York City premiere of "The Extra Man" Monday night. Known for chopping off her long, girlish locks after the birth of her daughter Suri 4 years ago, Holmes apparently got sick of the short look...
I just got back from Bermuda where I enjoyed myself immensely in the sun, surf and spas. Really, no beach vacation is complete without a trip to the spa and Tucker's Point Hotel & Spa boasts the newest and most exclusive spa in Bermuda. I enjoyed the Beekeeper No. 5 Honey and Cane Sugar Scrub there, after which I rinsed off in a $100,000 Tag Shower (there are only 2 other spas in the world with this shower), and followed that with an aloe massage. I was in absolute heaven.
