We love that you promote yourself via your own nails — they are definitely your best business card. We posed this question to our Facebook fans (www.facebook.com/nailsmag) and one nail style was the clear winner….glitter. Anything with tons of sparkle will catch the eyes of passers-by. As far as where, the responses ran the gamut. Expect to be stopped anywhere you do a transaction with your hands, including in the grocery store checkout line, inside retail stores, and at the drive-through. Just be sure to always have a stack of actual business cards on hand too. — NAILS Eds.
