Which of these do you think was the year's defining trend? If your favorite manicure didn't make the list, you can still vote it up by posting your pick in the comments.
What Was 2010's Biggest Nail Trend?
In the last couple of years, nail polish and nail art have really taken off.
This year's biggest makeup trends were all about singular statements. There were extremely dramatic eyes and lips designed to be worn with an otherwise low-key face, like big graphic liner, sultry greasepaint smoky eyes, and highly pigmented ruby and aubergine lipsticks. A couple of sweeter, lighter trends still had lots of impact, like juicy peach lipstick and the pretty "all natural" look. Were any of these trends a big beauty inspiration for you this year?

2010 was a great year for hair, with tons of experimental looks hitting the runways and a renewed appreciation for texture. Most of the best styling options made it off the runway and onto fashionable women all over, whether they were wearing retro-feel updos and bouffants, going natural, braiding away, or getting soft, luscious curls. Which style sparked your imagination? And if we've left off something you loved, please tell us by voting for it in the comments.

It doesn't take a university researcher to figure out that ads featuring beautiful, highly photoshopped models make women feel bad about themselves. But a new study shows that even standalone images of makeup and other "beauty-enhancing" items 
The celebrity fragrance mill just keeps turning out sweetly-scented grist every year, and it seems that one of the marks of being a famous woman in Hollywood these days is having your own scent to sell. Not all celebrity fragrances are created equal, though. A ton of scents launched in 2010, some to a much warmer reception than others. From top sellers like Mary J. Blige My Life and Beyoncé Heat to the totally surprising Tilda Swinton perfume, there was plenty of star power to sniff in 2010. Did any of these scents tickle your fancy?

Perfume is big business for designers and beauty firms, and each year brings a bumper crop of new scents designed to make you throw your old fragrances aside and wholeheartedly embrace the hot new thing. 2010 had a bunch of big-ticket launches from names like 
We feel a magnetic pull toward any beauty store, and something tells us we're not alone. There's something simply fun about trying a lipstick, sampling a perfume, or going all-out with a makeover. This year, we want to know which beauty retailer you like most. (As much as we love department stores and drugstores, we're focusing just on the boutiques that are blissfully beauty-obsessed.) Vote for your favorite, and if we've left one out, leave a comment to let us know. Like we said, we're always looking for new places to browse.
At 56, Christie Brinkley looks more amazing than ever. And while genetics may play a part, it seems that multitasking has really gotten her places. 
It had been a eight months since my last haircut, and the ends were starting to look a little scraggly. As for my beau, he'd gone about two months since he'd seen a barber. So, because we are a highly exciting couple prone to doing wild and crazy things, we decided to give each other haircuts. It was all very official-looking: we created a salon-style "cape" out of a trash bag, then set up a chair on the back porch and went to work. An hour later, we both had decent new haircuts — and it didn't cost a cent. Cutting someone else's hair is one thing, but having a partner cut yours is another matter. Would you (or have you) let someone you love give you a trim?
