Somehow or another I missed writing this post well over a month ago when I got the gloss + lipstick but a few weeks after that I found a polish duo to match, wasn’t looking for one but I gladly bought it. So finally used the polishes last night…here’s the look I came up with.

Used OPI We’ll Always Have Paris as a base.

Minor obsession with polka dots. Revlon nail enamel: lighter shade Lilac Pastelle + darker shade Plum Night

Lip shades: lipstick Berry Haute + lip gloss Lilac Pastelle

This is one of my favorite gloss + lipstick combinations. They go together effortlessly + I’m a huge fan of layering my lip colors to get something less mainstream + more me.

Wearing only the lipstick Berry Haute. The color is pretty but doesn’t really do much for me alone.

Lipstick + gloss layered. This is my favorite way to wear it. I like a little shine + the lilac shade stands out more.

UPDATE: I’ve since found a cruelty-free lip color replacement that wears like a gloss + a lipstick. Read about it here.  The color is a dead ringer for this combo look.
