Amber.Stardoll- We spotted Minka Kelly arriving and departing from a beauty salon in West Hollywood. She is one of many fashionistas that knows how to look absolutely smashing every single day. Wearing a cute jean jacket, a pair of leopard pants and a pair of cute boots, Minka gets ten out of ten points from us!

We already compiled an Independence Day outfit guide, but what about dressing up your nails for the occasion? Festive holidays call for multicolored mani’s, and we’ve got a perfectly patriotic nail art design for the 4th that’s fun and relatively easy to do (no special tools required!). All you need is a toothpick, the three colors of the flag, and a base and top coat to make sure your nails stay fresh and glossy throughout the weekend (because really, who wants to reapply?). Get your stars and stripes on with the steps below! You’ll need: a base coat, red nail polish, white nail polish, blue nail polish, a toothpick, and a top coat.
1. Apply a base coat to protect and strengthen your nails.

3. Next, apply a single strip of white nail polish vertically down the center of the nail. Let it dry for 20 minutes.

4. Take the blue nail polish and apply a single strip of nail polish horizontally along the tip of the nail, perpendicular to the white stripe, and covering it a little bit, like in the picture above. Let it dry for 20 minutes.

5. Dip the tip of the toothpick into the white nail polish and create your stars by making a dot on the blue strip where you want the star to be. Carefully drag the dot in five directions into a star-like shape. Repeat the process 3-4 times for additional stars, spacing the dots out appropriately. Let the stars dry for 20 minutes. 6. Finish off with a layer of top coat to protect the nail art and make the nails super glossy.

- To be a Hollywood A-lister you got to stay in shape, and that's what Ashley Tisdale is doing every day! She spends a lot of time at the gym to look good. Her outfits for the gym are always strikingly hot! Hopefully we look like that while training!

- Busta Ryhmes, Willow Smith, Jamie Fox, Michelle Williams...We have to wear sunglasses because of all of these shining stars at BET Awards arrivals!

- We spotted Jennifer Lawrence looking jet-setter ready in a pair of colored jeans (so trendy!), a grey tee, and a pair of flats. This look is perfect for the airport when you need to be comfortable, take off your shoes, and rush from one terminal to the other. Great look, Jen!

- Wow she's absolutely stunning! We spotted Heidi Klum filming on the set of a commercial for a hair care product. Her curls are perfect, and we'd happily buy the product if it gave us the same hairstyle! We love how Heidi looks fantastic, and we hope she's over her ex-husband Seal for good now!
