Do or Don’t: Red Lips and Nails



Recently I came across this picture of Léa Seydoux and was immediately drawn to her immaculate red lip, and matching nails. How stunning does it look? I am digging the colour combination of Léa’s outfit with the pop of red from her lips and nails.

A few years ago, I was at a restaurant—to celebrate my birthday—and an elegant couple was seated next to me. Both husband and wife were dressed in sharp black suits but the wife was wearing red lipstick and nail polish, just like that picture above. Throughout the dinner, I couldn’t stop glancing at her every chance I got to admire how stylish she looked. Prior to that night, I thought matching red lips and nails is not elegant but that woman proved me wrong. She is one of the most stylish women I have ever seen. Ever since then, I have always made red lips and nail polish my go-to look for special occasions. Most of my friends used to think it’s “too much” to match lips and nails, especially in that hue but I changed their mind with a simple trick. Keep the outfit simple and classic just like Léa Seydoux and the woman at the restaurant. Any thoughts? Would you wear red lips and nails?

P.S. This red lipstick and nail polish shade are beautiful.
