Katy Perry got creative with Oompa Loompa nails for her 25th birthday bash at Sunset Beach in Hollywood on Saturday night. All the guests, including Taylor Swift, wore white but left with mutlicoloured outfits as the celebrations involved paint-splatting and cake fights! Katy's beau Russell Brand joined in the fun, and the couple are getting even more serious, as they are reportedly house hunting together for a place to rent in the Hollywood Hills.

Steve McQueen's observation that "everything looks prettier when it goes fast" is the motto of a new line of pretty polishes. Auto Paint Cosmetics is rolling onto the scene with its slick collection of 60's classic car inspired colors, all with corresponding names like 66' Stingray (a metallic silver) and 67' GTO (a sexy deep red). Adding to the appeal are the mudflap-inspired pinup girls adorning each bottle in a range of risque poses.

OPI is always entertaining, from its wild and wacky naming strategies (Cosmo-not Tonight Honey!) to their oddly addictive "Try On This Color" feature. While you don't actually upload a picture of your own hand, OPI provides a blank palette from which you can work.
