I Love Red Nails

I Love Red Nails

The invention of nail polish transformed hands from functional body parts to gem-like ornaments to show off. If you were wearing nail polish, it implied that you were a lady of leisure.

Why is red nail polish so popular?
One Summers day walking to the store, I found myself bored and unable to concentrate, then a woman passed me wearing sandals and bright red toenail polish. That gave me something to do: I decided to count the colors on the feet and hands of all the women who passed me until I got to the store and then to my place. The only criteria were that I had to pass the women on the sidewalk, going either way, and that their toes were exposed so I could see if they were wearing pollish and, if so, what color. Here’s the total out of 20 women I passed.

* 10 red with matching nails
* 4 no polish or colorless polish
* 6 other colors: 1 white, 1 green, 2 purple, 2 blue

It seems women favor red toenail polish and nails over other colors—by a large margin. When I told one of my women friends this result, she said that she herself would never bare her toes without colored polish, and it was invariably red. When I said, “Why red?”, she answered “Because I like it.”

What I want to know is why some ladies like it. There has to be some reason why red is the most popular color. One explanation, of course, is simply that it’s the most visible or striking color, and thus calls attention to the toes, fingers, and lips. But then, why red rather than orange or bright yellow? The redder a woman’s lips are, the more sexual she is. I like to try New colours but I always return to Red

A women is helpless only while her nail varnish dries.
