In a
Your Beauty Spot poll we asked: Do you notice if other people don't look after their toenails? A whopping 82 percent of people said yes. So with this in mind, perhaps it's time to start thinking about what your feet say about you. We asked foot reader and reflexologist Jane Sheehan (author of
Let's Read Our Feet!) to share her insider info ...
What do cracked heels say about a person?
The heels are all about how you are going to move forward and take the next step in life, and also about your sense of security. Cracks on the heel are the obstacles that you feel that you have to overcome in order to move forward and take the next steps. Using a map of the foot we can calculate what area of your life is affected by noting where exactly the cracks are.
Does a person's choice of toenail polish mean anything?
- Red: You're ambitious and want more energy.
- Turquoise: You want freedom and independence.
- Pink: You want to attract more love and affection.
- Green: You want calmness, harmony and relaxation.
- Magenta: You want more compassion and nurturing.
- Brown: You want comfort and security.
- Blue: You want honesty and integrity and to speak the truth.
What does the state of someone's nails indicate?
The nail represents protection and beliefs and ideas.
- Yellow toenails: You're fed up at having to protect and justify ideas.
- Bruised toenails: You're unhappy about having to guard decisions.
- Ridged toenails: Horizontal ridges indicate periods of disease (stress) and vulnerability or emotional trauma.
Some people take great care in their feet's appearance. Does this mean anything in particular about their personality?
It depends on the reason behind why they take care of their feet. How you feel about your feet is how you feel about yourself. If you think they're ugly and need all the help they can get, then that's how you feel about yourself.
