Whether it be the old family movies you watch every year, feasting at home with extended friends, or leaving milk and cookies out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, the holiday season is a time for traditions - new and old.

This year, we propose a new tradition: Match your nail polish to the exact hue of your lipstick. The timeless appeal of the pairing - a nod to classic, ‘50s glamour - transcends all new wave beauty trends, making it a tradition with staying power.

From Christian Louboutin’s maroon, to Dior Beauty’s fuchsia, we get you started by pairing eight nail polish colours with eight of the season’s most party-perfect lip shades.
