At one time painting them red was the 'in' thing to draw attention.
Then came all the other colours...not to mention shapes, like Cher-inspired square tips.
People,men and women, now paint their nails and some have stones & small hooks implanted in their nails...
Maybe that gold nail was painted that way to draw attention...like it did yours.
Denisdiamond...I am sorry for my simplistic answer. I gave it because that is the extent of my knowledge on such matters.
I know there are signs and signals out there that I do not know because of my age.
If there is a message behind that gold-painted nail, I hope you find it.
I for one, don't know what it means.
Thanks everybody. It was just that I once heard that any girl who painted them in that fashion was a bit of a slapper or something in that vein, and there is a girl who started work in our local who wears them like that, and chacha, I am of that certain age myself ,so I was just curious. Thanks again.
