Hard as nails

They say you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their hands. Like whether they do work or not. Looking at my hands, you would have thought I had been working since birth. Some say you can tell if a person has had a hard life by the lines in them. The fingernails also tell a story about one's life.

My nails grow quite long and are very strong. Not because I don't do any work but because of my diet and life style. I'm not a fan of nail polish only because I am quite lazy to keep them up and coordinate with my outfits. I do that with my handbags and shoes. I also went to school for hair and nails and am aware of the chemicals that go into nail products. The process that the nail goes through for acrylic nails and tips is brutal to the nails. While you have a perfect set now, the long term damage takes a long time to heal. Even the stripping away of the nail polish with the remover can cause some damage.

Lately though, I have been noticing some changes in the appearance and texture of my nails. So I researched my nails and what it says about nail health and found some interesting things. For example: Pitting or ripplings in the nails can be associated with Psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis. Or if you have nails that are half-white, half-pink nails that could signify a kidney disease or imbalance in your kidneys. Your fingernails can even tell a story about your personality. Bitten Nails indicate that you have a nervous temperament.While short nails may indicate you are analytical, with a tendency toward perfectionism.

What are your nails saying about you?
