Mother’s Day is just around the corner and women everywhere are thinking about what to wear on their special day. Don’t forget to think about your nails as part of your wardrobe.
What does your nail color say about you? Do you ever look at other people’s nails and immediately get an impression about their personalities? For example, whenever you notice a person’s perfect French manicure, do you get the idea that she has a confident and sophisticated character? Likewise, if you notice that someone’s nails are adorned in crackle polish, do you get the impression that she has a spunky and outgoing disposition?
Whether they are glammed up with sparkly polish or left plain and unadorned, nails can tell a lot about a person. With all of today’s polish and decor options, there are countless ways to give off an impression via your nails. This may make you wonder, what do my nails say about me?
Katie Saxton, nail expert and president of Custom Nail Solutions, has put together a quick list that will help you discover the effect that your nails have on one’s first impression of you. Use it to simply see your nails’ effect, or try the other decor options to express a different side of your personality.
Saxton’s tips:
-
Red nails: Perfectly polished, fire engine-red nails tell others that you are daring, outgoing and highly confident. Wear these out to the club to show off your diva side.
-
Dark blue and black nails: These shades tell others that you are outgoing and live on the wild side. When people see these nails, they get the impression that you live an adrenaline-filled lifestyle full of constant excitement.
-
Nail wraps: Adorning your nails with wraps in designs like cheetah, lace or polka-dot tells others that you are trendy, fashionable and fun! Adorn your nails with wraps when you want to garner attention at your favorite nighttime hotspots.
-
Pink polish: Pink polishes tell others that you have a flirty and feminine personality. Polish your nails with pink hues whenever you want to show off your girly and sweet side.
-
Crackle polish: As said above, crackle polishes tell others that you are spunky and high-spirited. Decorate your nails with this style when you want to be noticed at a concert or dance party.
-
Colorful stiletto nails: Loved by fashion icons Lady Gaga and Beyonce, colorful stiletto nails tell others you are a diva with attitude! Wear these when you want the paparazzi snapping pictures wherever you go.
-
Nude polish: Clear and nude polishes tell others that you are laid-back and have an easy-going persona. Natural hues give off the impression that you are relaxed and enjoy the little things in life.
-
Neon nail polishes: Polishes in neon pink, green, orange and yellow hues let others know that you are an outgoing extrovert that loves a good party.
-
Unpolished and unadorned nails: Leaving your nails as they are lets others know that you are confident and unstressed about your appearance.
-
Chipped polish: When people see chipped nail polish, they can tell that you live a busy lifestyle and don’t have a lot of time to relax. If you see that your polish is chipped, take ten minutes out of your day to get your nails primped and ready for the spotlight again.
-
Painted designs and sparkle polish: Decorating your nails with sparkle polish and polish designs like stars tells others that you have a creative imagination. Choose this style when you want your nails to show off your artistic side.
Have a Youthful Day,
