Best: Ombre hair color

You've likely seen it on celebs like Jessica Biel and Drew Barrymore, but didn't know that it had a specific name. "Ombre" is a French word that literally means shaded like a gradient. And how does that translate to hair color? Well it's two shades, a darker hue at the roots that gradually blends into a lighter shade at the mid-shaft; the masterful blend creates one sexy trend. The greedy gal in all of us has to agree: Why have one, when you can have *two? *Warning: Ombre hair color can go wrong, so to keep this a "best" trend, don't opt for dark brown roots with platinum blonde ends. It'll simply look like you haven't touched up your roots in a year … or two.

This was so fun to read! And a few of those are still going strong in 2012 (bold lips, anybody?).

I hate Shellac. It is impossible to get off my nails, I had to wait until they grew out to get all of the color off. All I can say is that I am happy my nails grow quickly.

I love nail art! Always have, probably always will! Again, I have to agree, the pixie cut is cute but not for everyone! Also not a fan of fake eyelashes...people take it overboard. I rather just go with mascara on my own...

I agree with most of the comments referring to the pixie cut ! I think it's beautiful, but not for everyone :( I love long hair on myself, although if I cut my hair that short.... What would really agitate me, would be the growing out stage of in between hair !

fun story - I don't think I'm brave enough for a pixi but it sure looks cute on some people.

I like long and full looking lashes, but I prefer it to be natural looking, not like Kim Kardashian's whose look too fake. And I love Katy Perry's nail art, it's always fun and it fits her personal style perfectly. And I do not like the white eyeliner look, I use a shimmery nude champagney liner instead. It looks a lot more natural and it has the same effect.
