One of the modern fashion style tips comes to one point that women should be capable of taking good care of their fingernails and toenails. Well, Korean women have another way to color their nails; our alternative to nail polish is a pounded flower of garden balsam (봉숭아/봉선화). 現代時尚風格的其中一個要點就是女人應該學會好好護理她們的手指甲和腳趾甲。在這方面,韓國女人有一種別樣方式來為她們的指甲塗上色彩;我們選擇的指甲油的替代品就是搗碎了的鳳仙花(봉숭아/봉선화 )。

Using flowers to color nails in Korea has a long history back to ancient times. Traditionally in kingdoms of Egypt and China, people used to dye nails as a means of tattoo with henna, bright orange red colorings, as for nobles to show their royal social status. In Korea, however, coloring nails were for everyone. People considered that pink nail is a symbol for health and thought it would ward off evil spirits. 在韓國,使用花卉來染指甲擁有自遠古以來的長久歷史。在埃及和中國傳統中,人們會用一種指甲花染料來染甲,染上的鮮明橙紅色彩,對貴族們而言就是彰顯了他們的高貴王室地位。在韓國,指甲染色卻是所有人都能做的,因過去人們都認為粉色指甲是健康的標誌,兼有避邪之效。

Not only due to its aesthetic beauty, but there is another reason why so many Korean women are still following such tradition. One interesting fact about garden balsam is in a cute love myth that your true love will come true if your colored nail remains till the first snowfall. Very important! 不僅是因為它的藝術美,還有另一個原因解釋為甚麼這麼多韓國女人依然跟隨這樣的傳統。關於鳳仙花的一個有趣傳言出自一個可愛的愛情神話傳說——如果你能保持染色的指甲直至第一場雪降落,那麼你的真愛就會出現。至關重要喔!
