Here’s What The Color of Your Nails Says About You

Painting our nails is one of the easiest ways to express ourselves. It can be easily applied and removed, we can choose to wear the latest trends, and we can change it as much as we want. But despite having a lot of colorful options, we usually have a personal favorite shade for our nails that suits our personality or our mood.

Bright Side wondered if some our go-to nail polish colors could actually be a window into our inner self and found out these answers.

1. Red

Red nails show that you are passionate. You could also be a little aggressive and emotional. It’s also a bold color, which means you love to show confidence or dominance. You’re not afraid to be glamorous and have all eyes turning your way.
