When you’re faced with the wall of polishes at a nail salon and finally pick a colour, you’re not just making a style choice — you’re making a personal statement. Turns out you gravitate toward a hue that best represents you without even knowing it. Here, Essie’s celebrity manicurist Michelle Saunders gives a polish personality breakdown.
If you turn to:
Reds…
A crimson manicure is classic and timeless, and wearing a scarlet mani means you’re elegant and effortlessly chic.
Black…
Equal parts edgy and complex, a black mani exudes confidence. Consider it a #GirlBoss must.
Neons…
Because neon lacquer is so bright and loud, there’s no denying it will get you noticed. If you’re wearing it, chances are you’re outgoing and adventurous.
Whites…
Wearing an of-the-moment white manicure adds a youthful and modern element to your look. On your nails, it signals that you’re trendy and cool.
Blues…
With so many varying depths, blue is super-versatile and experimental, and suggests that you’re creative and forward-thinking.
Nudes…
Barely there nudes are perfect for every occasion and the colour is super-forgiving when it comes to DIY applications. A nude mani reads as low-maintenance and unfussy.
Pastels…
If you love a soft, sweet, and muted pastel polish, it means you’re a romantic at heart.
Pinks…
If your go-to hue is pink, you’re fun, flirty, ultra-feminine, and love being a girly-girl.
Oxblood…
This moody red is the sexiest of all polishes. Consider yourself a total vixen if this is your signature shade.
