Avril Lavigne’s Sally Hansen Collaboration

Avril Lavigne has collaborated with Sally Hansen's Salon Effects brand on a new nail collection.

The singer - who designs her own fashion line Abbey Dawn - has created a limited edition selection of nail polish strips inspired by her style and music which will launch in April and come with a cuticle stick, a mini-file and buffer and instructions for at-home application.

"This is pretty much the coolest thing, because I also do clothing - I love clothing, nails and fragrance, hair, makeup, all that . I was really excited about the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips - especially since they're superquick. You clean your nails, peel the strips and apply them, file and go. I'm superfast at it, so it takes me like five minutes to do my nails. And it's supercool because the designs that I came up with are my personal style and vibe - they're rock 'n' roll and fun and bright. You have sparkles and little stars - they are cute. For me, I'll be flying on a plane and be like, 'S**t, I need to do my nails.' I can do these on a plane; I've done them in the car. I'm a really visual person; I like creating, and I love to have fun. I think this offers self-expression, and it's a really smart, versatile way to show your style. I think my fans will really like it, because it's easy and simple and fun."

Emma Stone Reveals Beauty Secret

Emma Stone uses grapeseed oil instead of moisturizer.

The Amazing Spider-Man actress claims she is allergic to "almost everything" when it comes to her sensitive skin, but uses the cheap vegetable oil to stay looking fresh and blemish free: "I just use natural grapeseed oil from the grocery store on my face as moisturizer. After the shower, I pat it on, and then I'll use it throughout the day and at night."

There is one side effect of her beauty secret though, as she added, "I pretty much smell like grape all the time."

The actress - who has appeared in comedy roles for films such as Superbad and Easy A - has previously said she is not particularly vain, and doesn't always want to be sexy: "I think a lot of female actors have a real fear of not looking their best. They learn to prize their vanity over a role in which they have to look like a moron. "They're worried they'll damage their sex appeal. Thankfully, I have no problem looking like a moron!"
