Need a better reason to run more? What if skipping a workout hit you not only in the waistline, but in the wallet as well?Now you can get an extra incentive to lace up those running shoes, thanks to a new partnership between two fitness apps that delivers a payday for sticking to your goals, and a punishment for skipping out on your workout.
RunKeeper, an app that helps you track your runs, is teaming up with GymPact, an app that charges you for not showing up to the gym, but rewards you for breaking a sweat.
Gympact, which launched earlier this year to help people with their New Year's resolutions, attemps to encourage you to exercise more by letting you set how many times you want to go to the gym, and how much you are willing to be charged for failing to show up. If you hit your goals you get paid but, if you slack off, the money goes to other people in the service who are successfully staying on track.
"We know that real money is something very motivating to many people, so we're interested to see what happens when there is real money on the line around sticking to your fitness goals," RunKeeper told The Next Web.

New nail polish from Azature, Black Diamond lacquer, which contins 267 carats of black diamonds goes for $250,000 a bottle.
Ladies can flaunt their riches — and their diamonds — on their fingertips with a new posh polish priced at $250,000 a bottle.
The incredibly expensive Black Diamond lacquer contains 267 carats of black diamonds — conflict-free — and is the priciest polish in the world. It comes from the Hollywood-based luxury jeweler Azature, the self-proclaimed “king of black diamonds.”
“The black diamond is the ultimate fine jewel,” Azature said in a statement. “Its combination of beauty, mystery and sophistication makes it a timeless luxury.
“One day, I thought, ‘Why not showcase this style on nails?”
Not willing to shell out a quarter million for a bottle of sparkly varnish?
For those who want the diamonds but can’t fork over the green, Azature is launching a budget-friendly version later this month. The polish will contain just one black diamond and sell for $25 at Fred Segal stores in Los Angeles.
The Black Diamond polish crushes the previous record for world’s most expensive nail lacquer, the Model’s Own gold nail polish, priced at $130,740, according to FashionStyle.com.

AWESOME BEAUTY TIPS!
For years I’ve been using slices of cucumber to get rid of under eye circles. Well, that or Preparation H. I’m sure many of you have done the same. The ladies of Spain have an even better remedy: they use very thin potato slices. Applied over your eyes for about ten minutes, they’ll get rid of under eye circles like that! They actually lighten your skin, causing the bruised looking circles to fade.
Japanese women have some of the loveliest skin I’ve ever seen, and this is due to a couple different beauty techniques. Camellia oil is one such technique: it can be used to get rid of wrinkles, even after having a baby; strengthening nails and skin; rejuvenating and nourishing hair; and even soothing burns. Beauty experts also advise that rather than relying on injections of Botox and collagen, eating food that is collagen induced helps keep skin firm and flawless.
I’m always skeptical that there’s really a way to get rid of cellulite, but Brazilian women know the score. If you’ve ever seen women from the country rubbing sand onto their bodies, then you’ve already witnessed the treatment. Using sand aids in the elimination of cellulite and stimulates your skin.
Having energy and boosting your metabolism might not seem like beauty techniques, but they really are. You need energy and a high thriving metabolism to get through the day. Forget about Redbull, Rockstar, or Monster energy drinks. In Zimbabwe the women rely on hot tea infused with lemon. It cleanses their systems, gives their metabolism a jump start, and provides plenty of energy.
Women from India have hair to die for. It’s thick, lustrous, and flowing. How do they do it? Coconut oil is one beauty trick. It can even strengthen your hair if it’s starting to get thin. By heating up coconut oil and massaging it into your scalp once each week, you too can have shiny, wonderfully thick hair. Go to sleep with it and then wash your hair the next morning. You’ll noticed healthier hair instantly!
This is one of those beauty techniques that proves you don’t have to spend a lot of money on your beauty regimen. In Italy, women use an easily accessible ingredient to sooth and condition their lips. They rub their lips with olive oil, which also provides extra shine. As a matter of fact, Greek women use olive oil as well. There, it is used to soothe skin when it’s irritated, dry, and sunburned.
Some of the best beauty techniques deal with fighting the signs of age. Growing old gracefully is a beautiful thing – and you don’t need to rely on Botox, collagen, and things like that. Rather, do what women in China do: drink white tea. It will help shield your skin from free radicals.
HOLLYWOOD DIRT:
Sorry Japan, you're gonna have to wait for Van Halen ... the band is postponing their Japanese concert tour because Eddie Van Halen just underwent emergency surgery on his intestine.
Van Halen just released a statement ... saying, "Eddie underwent an emergency surgery for a severe bout of Diverticulitis. No further surgeries are needed and a full recovery is expected within 4 - 6 months."
According to WebMD, Diverticulitis is essentially when pouches form in the wall of the colon and become inflamed ... very, very painful stuff.
It's unclear how long 57-year-old Eddie has been suffering from the condition or when he went under the knife.
Van Halen says the band is calling off the November tour of Japan ... and will reschedule for some time in 2013.
