Nail polish meaning?

[GinIsIt]

There's lots of local beauticians who advertise on the FB pages for doing nails. And I reckon at least 75% of the nails have been done with the ring fingers in a different colour. My friend sometimes has this too (it's only just occurred to me while looking at the ads). Does it mean something? Or is it a trend/fashion? Is there an Insta Influencer I should be following?

I would assume it's a fashion thing started by a "sleb" who has a giant rock on her ring finger

Ah! I hadn't thought of it as being a reason to look at THE ring! So it's subtle attention-seeking then?

I think it's just a trend.

Its meaning is "tacky as fuck". HTH!

I read years ago it was to signify you’re single but I’m sure it’s just a trend

It means “a good way to use up the dregs of bottles”!

It’s been around for years. And is as tacky as fuck as per the PP.

I get it wrong then 😳 usually it's my middle finger I get a different colour... I do it because I like the contrast of a different colour in the middle, no deeper meanind for me.

This was a ”thing” about 8-10 years ago. Every wanna-be airhead clone had it done as well as slug shaped eyebrows and thus removed all individuality.

I don't know about that trend! If you want awesome nail ideas etc check out lexi martone nail art. She is a top nail artist in America.

It was a trend in 2000 or 2005 maybe, definitely not now. Really tacky

It's known as an accent nail. Some people also have the thumb and ring finger one colour then the other three a different colour. Or maybe the middle finger and ring finger one colour and the other three different. Or maybe a design on some to make them different.
I always have accent nails (then my nails are hated on here anyway so)

Calling it tacky is rude imo as well

It's an accent nail. It's just a trend. Up to the individual what they have on their nails and still pretty popular amongst my clients. Who I'm sure would be glad to know they're all tacky as fuck

"It was a trend in 2000 or 2005 maybe, definitely not now"

It still is pretty popular.

It's a bit naff, tbh. And not very classy.

An accent nail??? Heard it all now! Soon to go the same way as the accent wall...

I got it done recently - there was a pretty sparkly colour that I liked but thought it would have been too much to do the whole hand in that colour. Maybe it's not classy but I like it and it pleases me to look at it!

Yes, it's been a thing for years IME. It's not something I do, but I see a lot of them about.

Today I learned I'm tacky. Who knew?! I like it because I don't want all sparkles and all one colour can be boring.

One woman's 'classy' is another woman's 'wow - how dated'.

Just saying.

I currently have an accent nail, it's only subtle though, it's just the same colour as my others but that nail has a slight sparkle

Sometimes treat myself and have my thumb aswell, it just breaks it up a bit

Today I learned I'm tacky. Who knew?! ditto, I even have an accent wall 😂

Not a fan myself. Then again, not a fan of the 'pointy talon' look either. As for the diamantes and all that....

A tacky, air-head here too apparently. But at least I don't spew vitriol about other women based on their nail polish choice
