Why Avril Lavigne Can Do Her Nails on a Plane — Without Bugging Passengers

We’ve heard many complaints about women painting nails on airplanes (blech), but Avril Lavigne has her very own solution: self-designed Sally Hansen nail polish strips.

“It’s real nail polish,” she explains to PEOPLE. “But I don’t have the time or patience to sit down and get my nails done. These take me like five minutes to put on. In the car, I’m always doing it, on the plane putting them on. And you can take them off with nail polish remover. It’s easy.”

Lavigne teamed up with the beauty brand to create 12 bold options, each with a rocker-themed name like “Crowd Surfer” or “In the SPOT-light.” “These patterns are reflective of my style — my favorite colors and patterns,” Lavigne says, singling out the skull-and-crossbones-adorned “Headbanger” and leopard-print “Purr-fect Harmony.” “They’re rock ‘n’ roll.”

Avril Lavigne Models Race to Erase MS T-shirt

She’s usually busy directing models, but this spring, Avril Lavigne is taking a break from designing to be a model herself. The singer poses for the Race to Erase MS T-shirt Campaign, showcasing the 2012 tee for charity.

The “Orange You Happy to Erase MS” T-shirt, available on the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis website, is $24, and 100 percent of sales proceeds benefit the cause. Designed by Peace and Love Jewelry by Nancy Davis, it only comes in orange — the color of MS awareness.

The 2012 “Orange You Happy to Erase MS” campaign launches May 1, the start of MS Awareness Month. Throughout the month, other orange products will be available online — all sold to benefit the cause — and stars will turn out for the annual Race to Erase MS Gala on May 18.

Avril Lavigne’s Abbey Dawn Line Is Growing Up

No longer feeling like a pint-sized tomboy, Avril Lavigne strolled down the red carpet at the launch of her Abbey Dawn shoe and handbag lines teetering at an unfamiliar height.

“The fact that I’m wearing heels right now is kind of a big deal for me. I’m really tall now,” the rocker told PEOPLE Tuesday night at L.A.’s Viper Room. During the event, Lavigne performed for fans, shared a friendly hello with ex-husband Deryck Whibley and rubbed elbows with fellow designer Kimora Lee Simmons.

Lavigne, who launched her Abbey Dawn clothing line in 2008, has watched the brand evolve from simple tops to a full-blown collection seen last year at New York Fashion Week. She also has a signature fragrance — Forbidden Rose — and is set to launch some Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips later this year.

Avril Lavigne Has Plans for Your Nails — and Hair!

Avril Lavigne, who already lends her vision to a clothing line and two fragrances, wants to add some punk rock to your polish.

Sally Hansen has partnered with the singer for a limited collection of Salon Effects nail strips, launching in April. “I was really excited about the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips — especially since they’re superquick,” she told WWD. “It’s supercool because the designs that I came up with are my personal style and vibe — they’re rock ’n’ roll and fun and bright and colorful. You have sparkles and little stars …”

Each $9.99 kit will include 16 nail polish strips, a cuticle file, a mini-file and a buffer for quick and easy application. But the 27-year-old, who calls herself “a really visual person,” says she wants to continue to add to her beauty empire: “I think it would be cool to do hair color.”

Avril Lavigne on Kylie Jenner’s Runway Debut: ‘I Love Her Edge’

When Kylie Jenner sashayed down the runway at Monday night’s STYLE360 Abbey Dawn fashion show, more than a few familiar faces dotted the front row: show spectators included sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, brother Brody Jenner and bro-in-law Kris Humphries.

The perfect synergy of talent and good looks (Abbey Dawn is designed by Brody’s flame Avril Lavigne, after all) resulted in what Kylie dubbed “a family affair.”

“I loved having my family there,” Kylie gushed to PEOPLE after the show. “They made me so much more comfortable!” Aside from taking candids and offering up a congratulatory bouquet, family members also took to the Internet to express their admiration. “She was so fab,” big sis Kim Tweeted, with Brody sweetly concurring: “She looked beautiful and was such a natural. Proud to be her brother.”
