Hi Ladies. Do any of y’all remember the old rule of matching your handbag to your shoes?? Well I don’t see that rule being followed that much anymore unless:
- You’re super anal! – (gross word, but descriptive to a T).
- You have more money than you know what to do with and can afford to buy enough purses and shoes that actually match each other.
So for this Fall/Winter 2008 how about instead of spending tons of money to match your fashion accessories, let’s try to match your cosmetic accessories like your nail polish and eyeshadow! Sounds odd, but that was one of the new looks that was seen on the Fall 2008 runway collections.
At Bill Blass’s runway collection, the models wore beautiful chocolatey-bronze eye shadows and their eyes were rimmed all the way around in chocolate or black eye liner (similar to the picture above). This deep sultry look could be finished off by wearing a similar dark deep brown shade on short nails like this one pictured by Essie called “Chocolate Kisses.”
Another great matchy-match look came from Monique Lhullier’s (you know, the designer who is famous for creating both of Britney Spear’s wedding dresses when she married K-Fed?!) fall collection where her models eyes were rimmed in midnight blue eye shadows. This look on the eyes is definitely not for the makeup minimalist, but if you sport the right amount of navy shadow and blend it well all around the eyes it can look super sexy. Every e
ye color can pull off navy too- it’s an equal opportunity color! Then pair up your shadow, with a deep sapphire nail color, like OPI’s “Russian Navy.” Super hot update to the black and purple nail colors we’ve been seeing around lately.” 
So go deep, dark, and matchy matchy for your eyes and nails this winter- it’s easier to get some nail polish remover and change it up than to head out to Macy’s and fight the mall crowds for matching shoes and purses!!
