A dream of removing your nail polish - dream meaning with inherited lore

You rub the polish off your nails, revealing their natural color. You may feel more at ease, or notice a stain that bothers you.

Korean lore: There isn't a clear traditional interpretation of removing nail polish. It may be worth looking at what you chose to add or take away from your appearance in the dream, and how it felt. (Removing nail polish isn't widely known as a fixed, traditional symbol in folk dream readings.)

Through the mind: You may have this dream when you want to let go of an image or role you've worked hard to maintain for others. Whether it's a choice to feel more at ease or a sign you're tired of meeting expectations may depend on the feelings in the scene.
