What Do Nail Colours Mean In A Relationship?

All our lives, we’ve always been told “white” stands for peace and, other times, love. May I shock you with a different revelation? White means you’re single.

A trend that has been going around on Tiktok about what the color “white” means revealed that white colour means you’re single.

Surprised, right? I know!

According to Urban Dictionary, white nails signify that a person is single, ready to mingle, and available for a fresh start. So, when you see your crush on white nails next, be forward and express how you feel. You just might be lucky!

Another colour making rounds and revealing a thing about a person is “baby blue.” Rather than saying I’m in a relationship, girls on TikTok paint their nails in this color to show off their commitment. They make a video showing the nails to their followers to send a message to them. Why? They believe that’s the colour guys like on them, and most guys say they like blue on them.

While variations of this colour, including baby blue and light blue, do not be confused, both mean she is taken, and you should back off.

“If a girl ever asks me to pick her nail colour, I’m gonna pick light blue every time just so no other guy flirts with her.”

Asides from all these, women take their nail polish very seriously, and they put the colour into consideration all the time. Bold colours, mild colours, dramatic colours, brighter, neutral, or simple ombre colours.

What Do Nail Colours Mean In Health?

Let’s dive into medical signs and what nail colours mean to a person’s overall health.

1. Pale nails indicate liver disease and also a malnourished individual.

2. Yellow nails tell you a person with fungal infections and sometimes rare lung disease and diabetes.

3. Cracked or Splitting nails is also a result of fungal infection. All these are mostly due to too much moisture, aging, inadequate vitamins, proteins, and minerals, and not taking care of the nails.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to meet someone, one thing you should do is watch out for their nail colour. Considering that these colours may just mean aesthetic features for people, they may not know what nail colours mean.
