French manicures or clear polish are always appropriate for weddings or when you need a toned-down look, but these days colors are hot, and the brighter the better. With so many colors from which to choose, it's easy to make a splash with fingers and toes.
Bright colors - think corals and pinks - are playful and pretty during the warmer months, whereas very deep shades of wine to almost black look powerful and bold in the cooler months.
Making a statement with your polish choice can make you feel and look younger, but before you apply that polish, check the color of your nail beds. Normally, nail beds are peachy-pink because of a healthy supply of blood into the fingers and toes. When a diet deficiency or disease is present, sometimes the nail beds become discolored or even misshapen. Bluish nails could indicate a lack of oxygen in the blood. Greenish nails could denote infection in the nail bed or other part of the body. Check with your doctor if your nail beds - free of polish - are any color other than peachy-pink.
So, what does your color choice say about your personality? There's a color test you can take online. The Lüscher-Color-Diagnostic (www.colour test.ue-foundation.org) measures a person's psycho-physical state, and his or her ability to withstand stress, perform and communicate. Using 5,015 precise definitions, selections measure the state of 34 personality traits. The test is created to reveal how you really are, not how you perceive yourself or how others perceive you.
