Color psychology is the idea that colors can affect your mood and behavior. Ancient Egyptians utilized “color cures,” but it wasn’t until about two hundred years ago that it became an accepted field of study.
But you probably don’t need Sir Isaac Newton or Carl Jung to tell you that different colors make you feel different things. Isn’t that why everyone has a favorite color? You have one that makes you feel happy, calm, or bold — maybe even a color that makes you feel the opposite.
Liberation Nails has bright, vibrant colors as well as muted nudes and pastels, so we can keep everyone in our non-toxic nail squad happy. So, let's explore how nail color can affect your mood based on the different colors.
