The US Open-inspired pack features red polish and gold glitter, while the Australian Open set features green polish with a black shatter top coat. The French Open selection features a pink polish with red shatter top coat and a gold lacquer plus white shatter top coat.

Serena's line of nail colors have been designed in collaboration with OPI International OPI chief Suzi Weiss-Fischmann said :

Avon ANEW Clinical Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum

Love Anime Eyes? Now You Can Get the Look Yourself.

One of the hallmarks of anime is the characters' big eyes. The eyes are often so disproportionately large that they make the rest of the face look small in comparison. Plastic surgery cannot physically make one's eyes larger, so the new way to get the anime look is extra-wide contact lenses.

The contacts are not only tinted in a range of colors, but they're also tinted more prominently in the extra-wide outer ring. The result of wearing these contacts is the appearance of a bigger, wider iris.

A number of companies, including Dueba and Geo, make the extra-wide contact lenses. They cost $30-$50 per pair, and you can get them in prescription strength. With proper care and cleaning a pair should last you about a year.

Pick up some of this anime hair dye to go with the extra-wide contact lenses, and you can be a walking, talking, living anime character! Scary, isn't it?

Alicia Silverstone Latest Celeb to Pose in Nude for PETA

Don't wear fur or order the steak if you plan on meeting actress Alicia Silverstone for dinner. The 'Clueless' star is the latest celebrity to do an advertisement for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. On PETA's website Silverston, who is a vegetarian, issued this statement:

Like most people, I wasn’t always a vegetarian, but I’ve always loved animals. If you ever have a chance to meet a cow, pig, turkey, or goat, you will see that they are just as cute and funny as your dogs and cats and that they, too, want to live and feel love. They don’t like pain. Now when I see a steak, it makes me feel sad and sick because right away, I see my dog or the amazing cows I met at a sanctuary. I’ve been vegan for 10 years, and it’s the single-most important and helpful decision I have ever made. Physically, the effect has been amazing. Once I went vegan, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, my nails were stronger, and my skin was glowing. I feel great, and I look better now than I did 11 years ago.
