Hi, there! I'm Kelly from the beauty blog A Thing of Beauty with a guest post on matching your lipstick with your nail polish-a common problem with an easy fix!

                       https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/?ui=2&ik=acc30f5880&view=att&th=13f15eb8a37f15b5&attid=0.1&disp=inline&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P8316PQCUQ2tG0IajVJMqAZ&sadet=1370487060040&sads=Ywn3Cd6Y1_tZygC6xcSC9M3GX3A

Matching your nail polish to your lipstick can be tricky-especially since you don't want one to overpower the other. Here's four examples of how to match everything together!


-Milani's High Voltage lipstick with a heart glitter nail polish is a great way to wear red lipstick without being too matchy with red nails, as well. The hearts aren't a solid color so they definitely won't compete with some show stopper lips!

-Revlon's Minted nail polish with Wet 'n Wild's lipstick in Just Peachy is a really good color combo. Light peaches and mint greens also compliment each other well, despite being in opposite color families. They go great paired with a floral dress!

-Ulta's Super Shiny lipgloss in Whisper with a glittery gold nail polish is perfect for those who don't want to go full on with a lipstick. Because the lips aren't so impactful I love to pair them with a glittering, eye-catching nail polish!

-Milani's lipstick in Uptown Mauve for those who like a brighter, purple toned lip goes great with a grape polish. I used Wet 'n Wild's Bite the Bullet which is a great sheer polish to go with such a bright lip.


So there you have it-four ways to match your lipstick in harmony! Tell us in the comments below how you match your lipstick & nail polish!

5 Winter Nudes by K.






Hey everyone! I’m K. from the blog “A Thing of Beauty” with a post on five easy and low-maintenance winter “nude” polishes that everyone can wear!

Dark colors are a staple for the winter season, but not everyone likes to wear dark greys, blues, and purples all season long! Here’s five winter “nudes” to fit in with the season but give you a little lift.

 

{1. e.l.f. Chic Confetti}

This is a great glitter polish that’s festive for all those winter holidays and only takes two coats for a good amount of glitter! No hassle and beautiful shimmer make this polish a winter must have.

{2. Essie Oui Madame}

This polish looks like liquid on your nails, giving them a beautiful “snow queen” look that is guaranteed to get compliments!

{3. Wet ‘n Wild Silvivor}

This is a true metallic that just shimmers like liquid silver on the nails! It’s a dream to apply and low-maintenance when it comes to taking it off.

{4. NYC “In a New York Color Minute” Park Ave.}

In person, this brown comes off sheer and with a slight purple tone, making it a light & easy nude to wear during winter. I’m not a big fan of browns, but this is definitely a staple in my collection!

{5. Revlon Gold Coin}

This truly is a treasure! Gold Coin is a very pigmented, smooth polish that’s easy to throw on in a rush if you’re late to a holiday party! It’s also a gold that works well paired with other colors, be it red or green!

 

There you have it! Five easy, no hassle winter nudes to wear when you don’t feel like any of the dark dreary colors that tend to be on the shelves in the winter season!
