What your nails say about you

Red laquered nails
French Tips
Reverse Frenchie's
Studded Glamour
Fruity Airbrush

These styles are seen everywhere. While they sound like either a cocktail or.... something dirty. These styles are worn by women all over the world.

What many fail to notice is what each style has to say about the person. Let's get past the obvious, chipped polish is either being aloof or a rocker chick trying the " i'm-way to -hardcore-to care-about-nails-yet-still-paint-them".

But there is simply more about the choice you make about how to present your hands ladies.Much more.

I have found that girls who are more conservative stick to original colours such as the Ruby Red or a French Tip, a classy and timeless choice that goes with almost anything but let's be realistic it's a bit ...blah...

Then there are the ladies who wear long acrylic nails with diamonte studs and have airbrushed designs on them. I've notices these lovely ladies tend to wear a wider range of colours. From Fuschia to Turquoise. While the easy thing to say is " ATTENTION SEEKERRRR!!!". I think it's more a confidence thing. They feel they can sport a colour that is more eye grabbing. Not only that but absolutly rock it.

Then there are the plain minnies like me, who like to go Au Naturale... Not out of laziness but merely because it is more comfortable. I love acrylics for special events but for everyday wear I find it a bit excessive.However in recent months I've come to start loving painting my nails...is this a nail evolution?

Here's my favourite colours

Some random facts about me...
- I feel weird when I dont have my nails painted.
- I buy cheap nailpolish hence my nails almost always being chipped, even after half an hour...
- My toenails never ever match my finger nails.Ever. I find it offensive... no particular reason why...

I love having my nails painted but for me the chipped nail polish is more about sheer laziness than anything else
