When it comes to summer beauty, I like to keep my skin and hair simple and let my lips and nails do the talking. I love the look of fresh, glowy skin and sleek hair paired with a bold lip and fun nails for summer. Not only does it cut down my makeup routine, but it allows me to break out bolder colors to experiment with. Here are a few of my favorite color combos for the hot months ahead:
Matching Orange-Red
An orange-red for summer always pairs perfectly with a fresh from the beach tan, whether on your lips or nails. Paired with a simple outfit, I love a matching lip and nail for a sleek, chic look.

Nails: OPI Nail Lacquer in “Cajun Shrimp”
Neon Pink and Nude
This lipstick is one of my ultimate favorites and always pops no matter what you’re wearing. To let the lips stand out even more, pair with understated nude nails.
Lip: NARS Lipstick in “Schiap”
Nails: OPI Nail Lacquer in “Do You Take Lei Away?”
Classic Red and White
For Fourth of July, skip the American Flag clothing and have your beauty look show patriotic pride. A classic red lip and bright white nails is ideal to wear with a navy bikini or for a family BBQ.

Nude and Bright Blue
Summer is a great time to have fun with bright and bold nails, and this blue is always a favorite I turn to when the weather gets hot. A nude lip is always an easy go-to as well, especially with a great tan.

Love the neon pink lip + nude nails combo – would look soooo good with a tan. Definitely going to be drying that one in the heat of Summer!
Nude and light blue is interesting choice. I rarely use together these colors, but now I’m intrigued.
