Sonia Sotomayor heeded White House advice to paint her fingernails a neutral shade during her Supreme Court confirmation process - up to a point.

At a White House reception after her confirmation, Sotomayor showed her freshly painted red nails to President Barack Obama, along with her red-and-black semi-hoop earrings, according to an article in the new issue of Latina magazine to be released Nov. 17. Obama joked that Sotomayor had been briefed on proper nail color and earring size.

Sotomayor has granted few, if any, sit-down interviews since becoming the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court. She did not give a formal interview to her close friend Sandra Guzman, the former editor-in-chief of Latina, but agreed to be photographed inside the Supreme Court building.

The article details Soto-mayor's personal life, including a 1983 divorce from her high school sweetheart; a broken engagement to a Bronx contractor in 2000; and her most recent relationship.
