Mmmmm... watermelon

Hands up who loves watermelon? I do. It's not my favourite fruit (mango has that title), or even my second favourite fruit (strawberries and figs are battling it out for that one) but it's there in my top 5. But regardless of how I feel about watermelon the fruit, there's no denying that I love watermelon the colour. After all my favourite lippy of all time, Impassioned, is a sort of watermelon pink. And my current favourite nailpolish from Essie is also watermelon pink, and lo and behold the colour is actually called Watermelon! Both the nail polish and the lipstick were gifted to me by my friend Ebony (thank you!) who blogs over at Skin Deep. And oh love them both! They are such a perfect match, makes me think of summer just looking at them.

What do you think of this shade? 
Do you like matching your nails and lips or is that too nanna-like?

  3. I am a huge fan of watermelon and peach at the moment. Can't get enough of either of them in lipstick or nailpolish colours. I think they look great on you and I would wear them together cos I like them that much ;-)

  11. Lilit, gorgeous shades that look beautiful on you and really complement your skin tone. I too like matching shades as I think that it looks elegant and chic although I reckon that it does depend on what colour you use, and when. For example if you're rocking a muted black in summer, then that's probably not the shade that is in and may look a bit wrong.
