Nail Polish Color and Your Personality - Article
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2014 7:39 am
Interesting article - if one can call anything from the Huffington Puffington even close to journalism or unbiased news, they're usually way too liberal a 'rag' for me - and I found this article to be a typical puff piece from them. That being said, the headline caught my eye so I clicked on the link.
What Your Nail Polish Color Says About Your Personality - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/2 ... lp00000592" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
"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." I note that neither the author nor the manicurist are therapists, psychologists, or psychiatrists - the statements made in the article are just their opinions with absolutely no basis of fact.
According to the Huff-n-Puff pretty pastels mean I'm relaxed. Really?? I always wear light 'skin tone' (ie, light peach/pinks or clear) nail color as I have short fingers. I have found that wearing lighter colors tend to make my hand/fingers them look longer and more elegant, while any other color makes my them look short and stubby.
I absolutely love the Orly brand of nail lacquer and related products - found at Sally Beauty Supply, for those interested - and at $6.00/bottle and up it's well worth the price. My current favorite shade is "First Kiss" - looks awesome, if I do say so myself! Next in line would be Seashell, Chantilly Peach, and Toast The Couple in that order, with the last 2 shades being used for evening wear only.
