Celebs like Rihanna have been photographed with bright, canary yellow nail polish. Would you wear this summer trend?
Totally. I like taking a bit of a risk, especially with something pretty minor like a manicure.
No, that just sounds like too much. I prefer subtle nails, like clear or pale pink.

How long does it take you to do your hair?
"I was just curious about how much time you guys spend doing your hair because if I flat iron my hair, it can take up to an hour. I wish I could do my hair in like 15 minutes."...read more
You're the Beauty Editor
We could talk to celebrity hairstylists and makeup artists to give you advice on how to apply liquid eyeliner or straighten your hair. But we figured your beauty tips are just as interesting. So we're taking a break. The floor is yours.

Your antidote for frizzy hair...
"If you discover that your hair frizzed while you were waiting at the bus stop, don't freak. Grab a paper towel and rub it over your hair. This makes hair lay flat and frizz-free."

— Alyssa Callan, 14, Pennsylvania

"To get rid of frizzies, just rub a little body lotion on your hands and run it through your hair."

— Becky, 15, California


...and dry skin.
"If you have dry, flaky skin on your body, use Selsun Blue hair shampoo. Yes, it's a shampoo but it's used for dandruff, which is basically dry, flaky skin."

— Helen, 14, Pennsylvania


Your suggestion for avoiding raccoon eyes...
"When I wear liquid eyeliner and want to be subtle, I take a Q-tip and wet it with water to fade the line."

— Emily, 15, California


and the Tammy Faye Baker look...
"To get your lashes looking naturally long, heat an eyelash curler with a blow dryer [for two seconds but no longer or you'll burn yourself]. Pump your lashes with it a few times. Pull your eyelids up to coat the corner lashes and use long strokes to coat the middle lashes."

— Brinkley, 14, Nevada


...and how to take it all off when you're done.
"If you want to take off eye makeup but don't want to use oily make-up remover, try Johnson and Johnson's baby lotion. Put a tiny bit on a Q-tip and voila, your makeup is removed." [Contact wearers shouldn't try this.]

— Dory, Pennsylvania
