Most women feel wearing red nail polish is the wildest color of all.  “When in doubt wear red.” said the famous fashion designer Bill Blass.  This might lead you to think that women who wear red nail polish doubt themselves all the time!  Au contraire, my fine friend.

Red encourages action and confidence, increases enthusiasm, and stimulates energy, color expert Kate Smith says.  It’s the color most associated with passion and intensity, and is one of the top nail color choices for toenails.

So, don’t let a French manicure or mild colored fingernails fool ya.  There are plenty of women with a mild “Oh-la-la” on their fingers while they secretly sport a wild “Va-va-voom” on their toes!

One of my favorite stories about red polish is from my friend Tiane who I met when we worked together in the AOL human resources department.  At the time I was the head of corporate training and she was an HR Director on her way up.  She was incredibly smart about managing executives’ expectations and motivating those who worked for them.  I loved how she skillfully and soulfully would say it like it is – a quality that endeared her to many and dumbfounded the rest.
