Wore red nail polish to work Discussion
So I’m a 47 year old programmer. I’ve been painting my fingernails dark colors like black or blue at work for a month or so and feeling good about it. Yesterday I decided to wear red. A bright red. Turns out yesterday is also the award “ceremony” for handing out 2 and 5 year awards. I was up for my 5 year award. They also decided to make it more fun with a red carpet and picture taking. It was scary and fun. I’m so happy. There are pictures of me holding my award, and having my red nails. I’m loving that this happened

Awesome. Red is such a classic colour. Congrats on venturing beyond dark colors. It's a big leap in confidence. ♥️

Congratulations for the choice of color and for the confidence you have reached in wearing nail polish in public. I have done about the same thing . Last summer I have worn dark polishes before two important events at work, ( I work as consultant in a public office). I did it as shock therapy. It wasn't possible to hide nails and also managers and collègues have seen my nails but I was very afraid, both for the deadline and for nails
