For centuries, people have claimed to be able to tell what someone’s personality is like, just by looking at a few basic physical features. Some believe that you can determine someone’s personality just by the length of their fingers! Some people find it very accurate and others think it’s a load of crap.
However, regardless of what your opinions may be, there used to be an entire area of science dedicated to things like this. Phrenology was used to analyze a person’s personality based on the measurements of their skull. Listed below are interpretations of what the shape of your nails may reveal about your personality:
1. The vertically long nail.
You’re probably a real romantic. Even-tempered with a strange but wonderful imagination. You can be a perfectionist and easily overwhelmed. You see the little things that few notice. People really love you. You get along with most people.
2. The broad-sided nail.
Unlike #1, you’re more short tempered. You are, however, a sharp, deep thinker. Even though you’re short tempered, people enjoy you for your straightforwardness. You can tell the difference between the truth and lies. That ability allows you to cut through the BS and offer the best advice. You don’t tell people what they want to hear, you tell them what they need to hear.
3 and 4. The “round-egg” nail.
You’re the endlessly happy one. You’re the pacifist. You’re the laid-back one. You enjoy doing things in a very unique way. You rarely go with the what the majority is doing. Even though you’re in touch with your feelings, you don’t often let them get the better of you.
5. The square nail.
You’re the gutsy one. You’re the one born a natural leader. You have a serious attitude that can put people off, but that makes your playful, good-natured moments all the more pleasant and fun for everyone around you.
6 & 7. The Triangular nail.
You’re the smart ones of the bunch. You’re typically innovative and brilliant when others demand perfection out of you. You often bring new ideas faster than most. People you meet are fascinated by you.
8. The almond nail.
You’re honest, friendly, and faithful. You’re polite but firm when it’s needed. People enjoy spending time with you because you find the good in them. You’re good at handling difficult situations.
9. The sword nail.
Last but not least, the sword nail. In your life, you’re often the tip of the sword. You’re ambitious. You work hard. You have your goals and you won’t stop until you meet them. You’re often well rounded and can handle tasks even far outside of your comfort zone. Your ambition is often contagious.

My Greedy Fiancée Was Ashamed of Showing My ‘Cheap’ Engagement Ring & Posted a Fake One – She Regretted It Later
When I proposed to Micah, I never imagined that the ring I chose would spark a revelation that shattered our relationship. What began as a joyful engagement quickly turned into a test of honesty and character, exposing truths neither of us could ignore.

Micah and I had been dating for a year before we decided to get engaged. I was over the moon and couldn’t wait to share the news with our families and friends. I chose a modest yet elegant diamond ring that I felt symbolized our genuine love and commitment.

The next morning, I got a call from my mom, who was thrilled about the engagement. Her excitement was contagious, and I felt even more elated to hear her enthusiastic congratulations. Little did I know that this phone call would be the beginning of an unexpected and revealing turn of events that would change everything.

“Congratulations, honey! I’m so happy for you!” my mom’s voice was filled with joy.
“Thanks, Mom! But how did you find out so quickly?” I asked, puzzled.
“Micah just posted it on Facebook! The yellow diamond looks so unusual,” she said.
“Yellow??” I replied, my confusion growing.

I hurried to my laptop and navigated to Micah’s Facebook page. I scrolled through her feed and saw a picture of her hand adorned with a ring that looked nothing like the one I had given her. Instead of the modest diamond ring I had chosen, there was a flashy yellow diamond ring in the photo.

It was clear that she wanted to showcase something more extravagant than what I had offered. My heart sank as I realized she had chosen to post a fake ring instead of proudly showing the one I gave her.

I felt a mix of betrayal and sadness, questioning her true feelings about our engagement. I wondered how many other things she had been dishonest about, and whether our entire relationship was built on lies.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I needed answers right away, so I confronted Micah.
“Why did you post a different ring on Facebook?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
Micah looked at me, clearly uncomfortable. “You really expected me to show off that cheap ring? I thought you’d get me something nicer. I’m kinda embarrassed by it. But you don’t want me to feel bad, right?”

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. This wasn’t the Micah I thought I knew. We had always been honest with each other, or so I believed. Her words stung, revealing a side of her I hadn’t seen before. I felt a growing sense of disappointment as I realized how much she valued material appearances over our relationship.

I remembered the many conversations we’d had about values and how we both claimed to prioritize honesty and simplicity over material things. Now, I saw that her words were empty, and it hurt deeply.

“Of course, I don’t want you to feel bad. But there’s more to this than you realize,” I said, hinting at what I knew.
Micah’s confusion was evident. “What do you mean?” she asked, a frown forming on her face.

I looked at her, my expression serious. “Two weeks before our proposal, I got a call from your ex. He told me something interesting about you. He mentioned how he proposed to you with a ring, and you called it cheap and posted a fake one instead. I personally chose this ring for you.”
Micah’s eyes widened as I revealed the real ring. “Oh honey, it’s so beautiful! It’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you!”

I could see the excitement in her eyes, but it only deepened my resolve. “You don’t understand. I bought this ring for you and would have given it to you if you had passed the test. But, as we all saw, you failed.”

I remembered my conversation with her ex, how he described the heartbreak he felt when she dismissed his sincere gesture for not being flashy enough. His words echoed in my mind, reinforcing my decision to test her.

Her tears flowed as she continued to plead, “Please, I can explain! I was just embarrassed. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
Micah’s face went pale, and she started to panic. “You can’t be serious! This is so unfair! How could you set me up like this? I thought you loved me!” she cried, her voice rising.

I remained calm, watching her reaction. “I did love you, but I can’t be with someone who values material things over honesty and respect. This was a test to see if you had changed, and clearly, you haven’t.”
Her tears flowed as she continued to plead, “Please, I can explain! I was just embarrassed. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
But I was resolute. “Actions speak louder than words, Micah. I need someone who values me for who I am, not for the price tag of a ring.”

Ignoring her desperate attempts to explain, I packed my things and left, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. I knew it was the right decision, but it still hurt to walk away from someone I had once loved deeply.

As I packed my belongings, Micah continued to plead, “We can work this out, please! I just wanted something to show off to my friends. It didn’t mean I don’t love you.”

I paused for a moment, considering her words. “It’s not about the ring, Micah. It’s about trust and honesty. If you can’t be proud of what we have without needing to impress others, then what do we really have?” With that, I walked out the door, feeling a heavy weight lift off my shoulders.

As I walked out of the door, I felt a strange sense of relief. Later, I decided to reach out to her ex-fiancé to express my gratitude.
“Thank you for telling me about her true colors. You saved me from making a huge mistake,” I told him.
He sounded genuinely relieved as well. “I’m glad my experience could help someone else. It’s tough, but better to know now than later.”

Reflecting on everything that happened, I realized how much I had been willing to overlook in the name of love. I learned a valuable lesson about trust and the importance of true character.

This experience opened my eyes to what really matters in a relationship. Although it was painful to end things with Micah, I knew it was the right decision for my future happiness. Moving on, I was determined to find someone who would value me for who I am, not for what I could buy.

In the next few weeks, I leaned on friends and family, seeking their support and wisdom. I knew that I couldn’t overcome this alone and having their support was invaluable to me.
