I bought a lovely gloss red lipstick a few minutes ago. It was only when I got home that I realised that none of my nail varnish matches. Does it matter? What do you girls like to do?
I like for all 3 to match if I am going out for the evening with friends to maybe dancing or dinner or movie. If I’m just going to go out an shop and knock around a little, it’s not super important that I do match, as long as I feel good about how I am looking. Sometimes I may end up like some younger girls and go for a different color on each finger and toe. That just shows I am in a good mood and looking for a little enjoyment being out.

It is very rare that I use nail varnish. I never did my toes for several reasons. I don’t have shoes to show them off. And because I do take my socks off at times in front of others (I used to change socks at work at the gym; nowadays I take off my socks for a Pilates class at work), I’m not going to expose painted toenails. I really see no need for painted toenails.
I don’t paint my fingernails either because of the limited time before I have to be back in boy mode. I usually only have a few hours to get ready, and have to take it off by the next morning anyway. I don’t have the time for it to cure. Sure the surface is dry, but as soon as I reach into something (a pocket, or my purse) the polish starts to peel or shift because the undersurface was still not dry. Then it’s a rush job to fix, but it never fixes just right, and now has even less time to fully dry, a real downward spiral. It’s just not worth the hassle.
The very few times I do use nail polish, I don’t try to match them to anything else, although I might make sure they don’t clash.
There are always some things old Scarlett here will always match up. The first is really red lipstick with really red nail polish. The match is always spot on with Maybelline #635 Very Cherry Lipstick (which they stopped making so I stocked up with about 10 tubes of it right before it all disppeared and I match is with Revlon’s #505 nail polish – finger and toes – the toes if I’m wearing open toe dress heels!
The other thing, if ya look real close at my photos that I always match up is my fashion jewelry. It’s either gonna be all gold or all silver – never a mixture of both. Keeping the fashion jewerly matching adds to the classiness of my photos – same with the lipstick and nail polish match as well!
Love y’all! XOXOXO Scarlett
Ideally I would like everything to match where possible. Do you know if any of the makeup manufacturers have a ‘matching chart’ so that a customer knows which lipstick matches which nail varnish. Or is it simply a case of trial and error?
I’m in exactly the same position as you, Leonara. I LOVE wearing nail varnish but can’t polish my nails very often.
I didn’t make a conscious to match them, but when I began doing my nails, my favorite turned out to be a pale pink, about the same shade as my lipstick. Toes are flaming red, but not seen in public.
I always try to match my lips, fingernails and toenails,I think that is a sign of a well cared for woman. If I have the time I try to also match my outfit, matched to my dress or my skirt as my sweaters and coats are rather in line with pastel colors. Of course red is my favorite color as it does stand out more.
In truth, I’ve never used nail polish on my fingers or toes, though I have used lipstick on occasion. When I was young, I would steal a cigarette from my father and, when I had alone dressing time, I’d put on lipstick (always RED) and smoke the cigarette so I could see the lipstick ring on the cigarette.
I personally don’t like a shade of lipstick that is darker than the pink lipstick that I wear. I just feel comfortable with the pink shade and lip gloss and I have the confidence to go out in public knowing that I don’t stand out looking out of place. Let’s face it. Lipstick is the first thing that is noticed on a girls face and if the shade you are wearing takes away from the way that you are presenting yourself, its counter productive. I feel that the darker shades of lipstick are fine for some of us but definitely not for me
I just love pink and if I am wearing some of my lighter or brighter pinks I use a lipstick to match. My nails are typically a lighter mauve color with these pinks. When I am wearing dark colors like my skater dress untypical go with a darker mauve lipstick that matches my finger and toe nail polish which I like to match
Wanted to add one more comment as to lipstick. I was in Target and had my typical mauve lipstick on as I described earlier and the cashier told me she loved the color of my lipstick. Ahhhhh acceptance and validation. Tee hee
Mix or match for me.
Can’t say I worry much about this.
Lipstick is lipstick and I feel this choice has more to do with my mood and makeup.
Toenails are more a mood of the day and if my toes show I will paint toes.
Fingers would be the biggest possibility to match and likely more about what I wear. Concern most that fingernail color does not clash with what I’m wearing.
