Nail Polish
To dream nail polish represents feelings about self-worth being attractive about what you can accomplish. The need or desire to enhance a particular aspect of one's self-image or to present oneself in a more polished and confident manner. A focus on enhancing or beautifying one's self-worth or accomplishments. Feelings about self-worth in connection to having an impressive personal style, identity, or appearance. Enhancing your self-image or emphasizing a particular aspect of your personality. A heightened sense of attention to detail in one's appearance. Feeling more valuable than other people for what you can do.
Negatively, nail polish may reflect vanity or conceit about self-worth. Superficial efforts or tools that are ineffective for the deeper, more serious challenges.
To dream of chipped or peeling nail polish may symbolize feelings of disappointment or dissatisfaction with your self-image, or that you are not living up to your own expectations or those of others. It might also reflect feelings about the loss of your individuality or failing to maintain the image you want others to see.
To dream of removing nail polish suggests that you may be feeling a need to "bare yourself" or be more genuine in your interactions with others. Alternatively, it could indicate you are trying to hide or downplay aspects of your personality that you have previously emphasized. Frustration and dissatisfaction with your self-image when talking about yourself.
Example: A young woman dreamed of hiding and wherever she hid she saw nail polish she wanted to steal. In waking life, she broke up with her ex-boyfriend and was fighting with him while she mentioned the new girl he was with. They met the next day, had sex, and then argued again. In this case, the nail polish may have reflected her attempts to regain her self-worth by telling lies to appear more attractive or desirable to her ex-boyfriend.
Example 2: A young man dreamed of constantly trying to get the nail polish of his hands. In waking life, he was a heavily interested in lucid dream techniques and would constantly look at his hands before he went to sleep as required by his lucid dreaming technique. He notices he never becomes lucid in the dream with this technique. In this case, constantly removing nail polish from his hands may have reflected frustration and dissatisfaction with his self-image when talking about himself as an experienced lucid dreamer.
