What does your nail pollish color say about you?

Little things that we do everyday tell a lot about who we are, and what we are all about. You might not realize it, but everything from your hairdo, to the clothes you wear, gives others a peak into your personality. Even the color of your nail polish can tell the world what your actually like.

We all change the color of out nail polish from time to time, or to match outfits. However, it's the color we prefer the most is what tells the tale what we are all about. To test the theory yourself, look up your favorite nail polish color on this easy to read chart.

Clear: If you prefer clear nail polish then your actually a very neutral person. Your extremely down to earth, and easy to get along with. In short you play well with others, and are content with yourself most of the time. You don't need the attention of others focused on you all the time.

Pink or Pastel: If your nail color of choice is pastels or shades of pink this means you are a friendly person, who finds beauty in a lot of things. You are slightly idealistic and maybe angelic. It also means that you are somewhat material minded, and perhaps even a little vain at times. Your a very neat, and clean person, who wouldn't have it any other way.

Red: You are bold. Those who choose red nail polish over any other color are very outgoing, and tend to speak their mind. You like parties, and celebrations, and you love to be noticed. Your a little bit of a show off, but hey, if you got it flaunt it.

Gold, Silver, or Chrome: You definitely like the shine. You find yourself attracted to shiny objects, such as gold, and diamonds. Those who like metallic colors, also like the color green, as in money. These people also like lots of jewelry, and usually wear more then one piece daily. Overall the fake stuff will get you though the day, but the real stuff is much better.

Blue, Green, Orange, Black, Purple, and Other Wild Colors: Your preference in funky colors shows that you are very expressive. You like to make a statement, and don't care what others think. You are also drawn to music, and your own style of clothes. You have a very artistic nature, and you are fairly creative. You don't follow trends, you set them.

It's normal to have more than one favorite color. You might be an emotional person and paint your nails in shades that resembles the way you feel at the time.

Buff your nails at home

Step 1: You will need the following things:

- An emery board

- A nail buffer with at least 3 grades

- Hand and Nail Moisturizer

- Nail Clippers or Nail Scissors

Step 2: Before you start you must wash your hands thoroughly. Never buff your nails after a shower as your nails will be too soft and you could risk damaging your nail if you do buff it.

Step 3: Cut your nail to the length that you desire.

Step 4: Use the emery board to detail the shape of your nail.

FYI: Buffing is the natural alternative to polishing your nails. If you are going to polish them you should not buff them as the polish would not hold as well. The three grades on the buffers are made to carry out different tasks. The course side of the buffer is used to remove any ridges on the nail, The second grade is used to give the nail a met finish and the last and finest grade is used to give it a good shine.

Step 5: Buff the ridges out. Be sure to do it not over do it, 3-4 strokes with the buffer should be more than sufficient. You should not buff the ridge more than once a month. Alternatively you can use ridge fillers which when applied will fill in the ridges and accomplish the same thing.

Step 6: Use the second grade of buffer to give your nails the met shine which is indicative of how well you nail will look when you give it a gleaming shine later.

Step 7: Use the finest grade of buffer to bring out the gleaming shine on your nail. You can use this grade of buffer every week to bring out the shine again.

Step 8: Clean your hands again and remove any filings or dirt that might have accumulated while you were doing the treatment. After washing and drying your hands completely, you should use the hand and nail moisturizer to keep your hand smooth.

Done!

1 Minute Mani-Pedi

I personally hate getting a manicure. I hate wasting an hour with a random person that I have to sit across from face-to-face making phony conversation. I also hate spending the money on a manicure when within 2 -4 days there is always some chipping. Pedicures I hate just as much. Don't even get me started. Anyone can paint their own toes. The problem with painting your own nails is that it never dries and you end up smudging it within an hour. Thanks to $5 and Sally Hansen all these problems are solved. She just came out with Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color. It's great. I am usually one to buff my finger nails and just leave them plain, but there are always occasions that I like to paint them. This polish dries within a minute and doesn't smudge. It takes about 2 days before chipping on your fingers, but it's so thin that you can just layer on another coat and it will look like new again. I have had the same color on my toes for two weeks and still looks like new. She also offers a great selection of colors. You can find it at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and many more places.
