Should your lipstick match your nail polish?

One of the most frequently asked beauty questions from women who wear makeup is whether or not a particular nail polish should match lipstick. There are a number of arguments in favor of both, but is there a golden rule among them?

Aligned??? Matching your cosmetics creates a chic, polished look with a simple color palette. It's a very easy way to see if you've put in a lot of effort when you don't have time for something more difficult than painting your nails.

Or not aligned???
Wearing a lipstick that somehow clashes with your nail polish will give your look a little extra color that is sure to get you noticed. It's also nice to be a little bit rebellious with your beauty look! Finally, rules may (sometimes) be broken.

Our verdict
We believe you should have the freedom to clash or align to your heart's content. Both styles look great and it's always good to alternate your beauty looks, so just do it!
