Who doesn't want nails like Brenda?


Doc Marten boots and flannel tops aren't the only ubiquitous 90s favorites making their way back into our lives this fall.

90210, the ingenious show that Aaron Spelling created and we all religiously watched throughout our adolescences, will be getting a makeover next season over at the CW for our viewing pleasure.

The 90210 spin-off will follow a new high school crew living in the infamous area code and causing all sorts of trouble, but there will also be a few players from the original show: Shannon Doherty and Jennie Garth.

In celebration of this epic television show resurrection, O.P.I. is creating a series of limited-edition nail polishes inspired by 90210. They'll be released this fall, right around the time 90210's pilot episode airs. Nylon magazine will have a sneak peak of the shades in one of their upcoming issues.

Meanwhile, those waxing lyrical about old episodes of Melrose's Place and 90210 should check out this week's ho'roscopes.

Tip of the day: Does nail polish go bad?


Believe it or not, nail polish does not go bad. Now we know we've been adamant before about getting rid of those beauty products when they expire. However, this is one that you can keep until it dries up or gets goopy on you.

Why?

Avril Lavigne: classic black






Once the territory of only the most hardcore punks, black nails became very mainstream for a few years. The trend is now receding, but you'll continue to see it on skater chicks like Avril Lavigne. If you love the classic, serious look, then black is your color of choice, skip the glitter and funny tips. You can find black nail polish almost anywhere these days, but for on-the-run rockers the Sally Hansen quick dry nail pen in black is convenient and inexpensive. Perfect for the low tech punk aesthetic.

Helen Mirren: sheer matching magic





With Helen Mirren, it's all about nuances. Here she matches her nails to her dress, but in a way that says "pulled together" instead of "matchy-matchy." Her secret? The color is in the same family as her dress, but it's a lighter shade, a small but important distinction. Also the sheerness keeps it from being to heavy. If you're all about the subtle details, like Helen, then Essie Sheers are your nails' best friends.

Charlize Theron: haute couture punk





Charlize Theron is so radiant that she can make this punky purpley-black look like the classiest thing out there. On her it is couture. If you can pick up a street style and dress it up for lunch with the ladies or the red carpet, then you're in Charlize's elite league. Want to try out for the team? Practice with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark.

Jennife Lopez: glittering dress-up





Jennifer Lopez always has a glow about her, as if she was dipped in shimmering star dust. Her nails are just as glamorous as the rest of her, with a subtle but distinct pink shine. If you're a glitzy girl, then Jenny's style is the way to go. Her nails are just a little longer than some other ladies wear, and have a bedazzled glaze, like grown up body glitter made especially for nails. Try OPI Thrills in Beverly Hills Glitter Topcoat.

Carmen Electra: graphic designs





If you love tattoo designs, but don't necessarily want to commit to one for life, then Carmen Electra's star design manicure might be up your alley. The intricate design definitely requires a time commitment -- we're talking a couple of hours in the chair, between painting and drying time. But if you're the outgoing type, like Carmen, and want to make a statement with your nails, this is the way to go. Don't have all day? Try nail decals!

Rihanna: modern metallics





Rihanna is a rock and roll hottie who is isn't afraid to bring out the heavy metal accessories, including her nail polish. The bronzey metallic she's wearing here is much more interesting and fashion forward that the predictable black that others might have chosen. If you're a modern babe like Rihanna, then you're into surprising combinations and edgy choices, and you make it work every time. To get Rihanna's metallic tips, try CoverGirl Bronze Beauty.

Dita Von Teese: red hot retro glamour





For some girls, red is the only color for nails or lipstick. With a retro look like this, the details are all important -- smudges and chips are not to be tolerated. If, like Dita, you like a classic red gloss, then you probably also have several pairs of pointy heels, and are partial to false eyelashes and have several vintage cocktail dresses. Want Dita's nails at home? L'Oreal's Dozen Red Roses should do the trick.

Kate Walsh: burgundy traditionalist





Kate Walsh is one of those rare class acts in Hollywood. You can depend on her to show up, be well put together, have nice things to say about her colleagues. If you're like Kate, you might not wear polish every day, but when you get dressed up, you make the effort to do something a little special, a little shiny. And you can be sure it will match. For your next big event, take the high road like Kate with Laura Mercier's Daring, in rich, dark burgundy.

Then go for Orly White Out.

Nail Polish Summer School: Sick of stained nails?




The last time we removed the polish from our toenails and didn't have time to repaint them, we were horribly embarrassed. Not because we're so particular about having our toenails painted -- simply because we kept them painted so often that, when we took the polish off, our toenails were discolored! Eeewww!!!

Nail Polish Summer School: Best pedi colors for the beach




When you're planning a trip to the beach, what all do you need? Of course, you've got to pack a beach towel, a sexy bathing suit, a beach cover-up, a floppy hat, fabulous sunglasses, loads of sunscreen, a book or gossip mag, and ... a pedicure! You can't slide into your flip-flops without gorgeous toes, can you?

Here at StyleDash, we have some specific ideas about the colors that should be worn at the beach. We're fans of this year's popular dark shades, and we also like French pedicures as well as soft, pale colors. However, when you're digging your toes in the sand, there's only one way to go with your toenail polis -- bright!

Whether you prefer pink, red, coral, or something else, you can definitely find a bright version of your favorite. We've got some of our favorites, but we want to know -- what color do you wear when you hit the beach?
