Believe it or not, there's more to finding the perfect nail color than just picking the first one that catches your eye. There's actually a whole science behind what our choices in color say about our personalities, which is especially important when you're hoping to project a certain persona or make a particular first impression.
You want something to represent you in a way that goes beyond the fact that you were really into neon pink that day. You want something that suits you, your personality and the kind of boss babe you aspire to be -- and that's where color and energy expert Linda Lauren comes in. She's a pro at connecting a person's individual energy to their perfect color match, which means her advice is about to make your next manicure a lot less stressful.

The Trailblazer
Personality Type: You're on a mission to break boundaries, make people think and maybe even change the world along the way -- and that takes guts. Not only are you strong-willed, passionate and full of game-changing ideas, but you've also got the means and motivation to make things happen. Your work and your life are pretty much one and the same, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
Your Role Model: Lena Dunham
Your Signature Color: "Choosing a bold, deep cranberry red will encourage you to feel connected with the business around you," says Lauren.
Personality Type: Come on, there's no need to be so humble: You've got that whole brains and beauty thing down to a science, with both bombshell style and business acumen in spades. Your worldly, well-read sensibilities and low-key nature make you a welcome addition to any conversation, but you've never been the type to show off.
Your Role Model: Amal Clooney
Your Signature Color: Lauren says dark polish should be your go-to -- it's bold yet understated, just like you.
