Your Nails, a Statement?

Now a days there is SO many options for your nails.
You could get them artificially lengthened, have them blingged, sport your favorite NFL team logo, stripes, flowers, Christmas trees for the holidays... or if your not feeling so inspired, you could go the simpler route and choose from all the colors in the rainbow and their slight variations. With all the options out there you should have no problem in choosing a look to express your mood for that day.
Tell me, when has neon yellow, lime green, or sky blue nails ever enhanced an outfit (unless maybe your a clown)? What about the latest trend of using very dark colors, like Navy Blue, Midnight Purple or Black, your nails turn black when your dead.
Have you ever been trying to listen to someone talking but get distracted at every wave of their hand, with the thought "Woowh look, Nails!" your fingers are supposed to complement not distract.
Fingernails are a natural thing, lets keep them somewhat so. There really is a classiness, and simple feminine beauty to a woman's hands when she keeps them well manicured. That means hands with soft skin, and nails clean, trimmed and filed. Wearing nail polish is fine but make sure its a soft complimentary color, or even clear. Not one that shouts "Look at ME". I personally love the look of a French, or a soft pearl pink. They are both, very versatile with many outfits matching most anything you might wear whether formal or every day, and your hands look manicured without being way over done.

This is a great post. :-) I really do NOT like black nail polish (or colors bordering on black). I'm like you - French manicures are the prettiest!
