According to Paintbox manicurist Gerry Holford, a person’s attraction to particular shades can speak volumes about their personality. Holford believes that there’s a certain psychology to nail polish colors, and she shared her take on the subject with us below. Where do you fall?
What Your Nail Polish Color Says About Your Personality
#1 If you always wear black nail polish, you are...CREATIVE
"I feel that a beautifully painted black manicure is extremely chic. Having said that most gals wearing a black mani are creative types that think out of the box and a little bit of a rebel. I think it takes a lot of confidence to wear a black manicure, and for most women that do wear one, it's their signature look."
#2 If you sport neon nail colors, you are...ENERGIZED
"Bright colors are an awesome visual for anyone wearing them. You have no choice but to get your energy up and get going!"
#3 If you are into pretty pastels, you are...RELAXED
"Soft colors like pale pinks, creamy beiges and even variations of bright colors like a soft yellow or coral can definitely add to a relaxed state."
#4 If your go-to nail polish is orange, you are...IMPULSIVE
"Shades that would be ballsy or impulsive are a bright pop of orange, an opaque baby blue or a metallic green."
#5 If your nails are painted in a rich wine shade, you are...SEXY
"Sexy, sultry for me is always a dark burgundy nail. It's a modern classic."
#6 If you prefer a clean white mani, you are...YOUTHFUL
"My favorite manicure at the moment is a solid white one. It's fresh and very chic. It works on all ages and lends an element of youth to anyone wearing it."
#7 If you like to mix it up with neutral and bright colors, you are...HAPPY
"My go-to happy manicure right now is a beige nail with a pop of metallic, bright or neon color on the tips. You can even switch it up by putting a different color on each tip. Play around with designs, too; you can do a chevron tip, a classic French, asymmetrical or even a row of dots. The possibilities are endless!"
#8 If your nails are always a fiery shade of red, you are...ANGRY
"I'd like to think there isn't such a thing as an ‘angry' manicure, but if I had to choose, I would venture to say a blood red manicure could be construed that way."
