Many women I meet have a French manicure. They are usually classy, sophisticated, and incredibly practical. With just a touch of white on the nail tip, a French manicure makes your nails look finished and goes with any outfit. As one gal told me, “A French manicure is like diamonds. It goes with everything!” But being practical doesn’t mean being boring. One afternoon I was getting my nails done along with my friend Alice, who decided to get a French manicure. When it came time for the white polish, I naively thought that the nail tech would simply pull out a bottle labeled “white.” Ooooooh noooooooo. Instead, Alice walked over to a wall – yes wall – of white polishes: Bright white, off white, creamy white, pinkish white, bluish white, purplish white, brownish white, kinda white, sorta white, not quite white, you-name-it-white. Whatever shade of white you wanted, I’m sure it was there. To my delight, Alice picked a white color called White Limousine. Immediately I thought of her dressed in a smart business suit with her French manicure, riding in a white limo that pulls up in front of a swanky restaurant. The chauffer opens her limo door, and she confidently walks into the restaurant to make the deal! All that because the polish wasn’t just white. It was White Limousine. According to color expert Kate Smith at SensationalColor.com, “brown says stability, reliability, and approachability. It is the color of our earth and is associated with all things natural or organic.” The woman who wears cream, tan, or any shade of brown nail polish tends to be that way, too. She’s often the gal who you think of as grounded, someone you can say anything to and she doesn’t get upset. Maybe that’s you, at least when your hormones aren’t out of whack and the planets are aligned just so. Here's to living like your nail color! Comments: |
