We have a theory that nail polish colors are really just emojis for your hands. Seriously. You have your go-to for when you’re feeling flirty, like the winky face. You have your favorite for when you’re all business, like the bar graph. You have your staple for basically every day, like the knife and the wine glass. (What, you guys don’t use those two in every text you send?) Just like there are emojis for every mood, there are also nail polish colors for every mood. Who hasn’t slicked on a bright pink “Bottle Service” for a night out, or headed to the salon for a sophisticated coat of “Ballet Slippers” for an interview?
Sadly, sometimes the colors available in the salon don’t always match up with the way we feel. So, because of that, we came up with some more realistic colors that reflect that rage-filled, fire-knife-pizza-cat combos that we send to each other all too often.
