Matching lips and nails has been A Thing in beauty since
roundabout the twenties (History Lessons With Noll!), and yet, because of my
general nervousness with lip colour, it’s not something I’ve ever really played
around with. There is an excellent woman at my work who always matches her eyes
and lips, or eyes and nails, or all three – sometimes even her cardigans get
involved. I think she is fabulous and I love her, so, armed with my extensive
collection of eyeshadows and nail varnish and paltry collection of lipsticks
(and, eventually, backed up by Poppy’s), I thought I’d give matching a shot
too.
