"Besides fireworks and barbeques, nothing feels more American than a basic pair of blue jeans. And with July 4th right around the corner, what better way to celebrate our country's independence than with some beauty products inspired by a staple of Americana style. Just last week, RGB Cosmetics launched a limited edition, denim-inspired shade called \\\"1996,\\\" (above) honoring the 15th anniversary of Need Supply Co., a Virginia-based clothing retailer that got its start selling vintage Levi's (how much more American can you get?). \\\"I've always been a fan of Need Supply because they carry a very edited collection,\\\" says founder of RGB Cosmetics, Gina Carney, who admits she'll be living in her classic Levi 501 cut-offs this summer. The deep, inky shade is an homage to dark vintage Levi's, and with just a hint of black, it's the perfect color to wear all summer long.\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\nAnd just like you can never own too many pairs of jeans, you can't have too many denim-inspired beauty products. Here, a few to take with you wherever you go this holiday weekend:\\n\\n\\n\\n[Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips in Skinny Jeans.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/sally-hansen-salon-effects-nail-polish-strips-skinny-jeans) I still can't get over how much I love these handy nail stickers. Not only do they look like real polish, if applied correctly, they won't peel for up to a week, which is more than I can say for most polishes. This print looks exactly like the color and texture of denim and will look great with a white button down.\\n\\n\\n\\n__Maybelline New York Express Finish Nail Polish in Denim Dash.__ Not everyone wants a dark wash\u2014whether it's your jeans or the color on your nails\u2014so if you prefer your denim a bit more worn in, you might like this option. A truer shade of blue, this polish has an iridescent finish that requires two coats to get the full effect.\\n\\n\\n\\n[Lipstick Queen Jean Queen Lipstick](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/lipstick-queen-jean-queen-lipstick) and [Lipgloss.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/lipstick-queen-jean-queen-lip-gloss) The soft pink shade of these two lip products are meant to offset the blue of your jeans, as well as brighten up your face. The lipstick is more sheer than the gloss, but both have enough shine to contrast against the matte finish of your jeans. What I like about them is that they're both the same flattering shade of pink that leaves your lips with just enough color to look polished.\\n\\n\\n\\n__Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Skinny Jeans.__ Last year's Best of Beauty winner looks more like a pair of gray JBrands I own than a classic pair of Levi's. Softer than black, with subtle hints of bronze shimmer, it looks beautiful with blue eyes, and your blue jeans.\\n\\n\\n\\n__Bobbi Brown Denim &amp; Rose Face Palette.__ This is a great palette to take with you for a long weekend. With a mix of shimmery and matte eye shadows and soft and bold lip colors, you're set whether you want something subtle for the day, or more eye-catching at night. The four shadows come in beige, gray, and a deep shimmery blue, and the blush is a flattering rose shade. My favorite lip gloss in the set is a vibrant fuchsia, but there are several shades of pink for you to choose from.\\n\\n\\n\\n__NP Set Denim Set.__ Another full face palette, this one contains violet and peach shades for eyes, lips, and cheeks, as well as a black cream to line your eyes with and a pearly hue to highlight your browbones.\\n\\n\\n\\n__RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Behind the Line: RGB Cosmetics's Gina Carney](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/04/behind-the-line-rgb-cosmeticss-gina-carney.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Denim Strips: The Secret to a Better Wax?](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/03/denim-strips-the-secret-to-a-better-wax.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Insiders' Guide: How to Find the Perfect Jeans](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/how-to/2010/find_the_perfect_jeans)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
