OP, I get what you are saying. I am not a nail polish person myself.

Blush gives you a youthful glow by making your cheeks slightly rosier than they already are. Red- or pink-hued lipstick enhances the appearance of your naturally reddish--pinkish lips. They take your natural features and give them more oomph.

In contrast, blue (or even red) fingernails do not take your naturally blue (or red) fingernails and give them more oomph; you do not have naturally blue or red fingernails to emphasize.

It's a different category of cosmetic.

Think of it more as a way for some women to use their own fingernails as a colored ornament or accessory.


Yes!!! Thank you for articulating what I was saying with the blush comparison. I view cosmetics as enhancers of beauty everyone wishes they had naturally. Which is why I love a french manicure, or pale pinkish tones. No one wishes for white or blue or burgundy nails... But if it's viewed as a fun thing, or a way to add color to your outfit, that makes sense to me.

When I was growing up, for some reason when I painted my nails, it always tended to be in the later half of the rainbow (greens, blues and purples). My father thought it was strange, but both my parents figured better my nails then my hair. I think I primarly tended to pick whatever color looked pretty. I currently have purple/gold nails. Why? Because I was going to a wedding and wearing a dress with a purple skirt, so I was matching.
