Thank you, Hezzie! The funny thing is, before I discovered color in July, I was so embarrassed by my feet that I couldn't let anybody see them! I really was the guy wearing old sneakers into the lake at the beach.
Try this - buy a bottle of something "manly". Dark hunter green. OPI's "Roadhouse Blues" or "Blue My Mind". Show this bottle to your hubby and say "I would love to see this on you, it would mean a lot to me... and we can take it right off if it looks bad. But, it's up to you. Let me know when you're ready... until then, it's right here, and this bottle is the remover". It might take him a week or two - but I bet that by Valentines Day, he'll have thought about it enough to say "OK". Four days before Valentines, put it on YOUR toes, make sure he sees them. He just might surprise you for Valentines Day! (You might also notice the level in the bottle dropping - he'll probably try it on in private before letting you know...) Good luck!

Dud you should shave your legs. In my opinion polish and hair don't go hand in hand. Feet and nail polish tend to look alot hotter with a nice pair of shaved legs.

Hezzie, what you say about more couples sharing this interest is certainly true of my wife and I. We get pedicures together and have even painted each other's toenails a few times.
This all began about four years ago when I complimented her on a really cool deep blue she was painting her toes with. I hadn't seen a color like that before (mostly only reds and pinks) but thought this color was really different and fun. She then offered to paint mine with it and so I accepted. It looked pretty decent on my toenails too so I just kept wearing it, and after a few days I was hooked! We experienced our first (well, my first anyway) pedicure together shortly thereafter and I wasn't intending to get color on mine but the cute Asian gal doing my pedicure asked me if I wanted polish so I asked her for a suggestion and she selected a deep gray shade. It was a pretty exciting experience!!
Since then I have tried many shades but I tend to like darker more earthy colors like deeper greens, blues, grays and black. My wife and I only share a few of them since she tends to prefer brighter colors.
It is refreshing to see that this is not just something that only my wife and I enjoy but it appears that there are many more couples like us. That's pretty cool.
Thank you for the great discussion!!

Wow, I was looking into trying this for myself as a guy, but wasnt sure how women would feel about it. After reading this and some other suggestions on another post, I got the nerve up to make an appointment at a salon for a mani/pedi. It was an incredible expeience and the women there were so enthuisatic that I was giving it a try. I actually went with Misa's "Bourbon on the Rocks" after reading about it here and it looks awesome on me!Originally Posted by BreAnnNicole /img/forum/go_quote.gif
AH! I just read this entire thread to my DH! I have been trying REALLY hard to get him to wear nail polish out! He'll let me paint his ring finger with a masculine color sometimes but that's about as far as we get. I think nail polish on a guy is super hot! I wish more men felt as confident about their sexuality as you do...you are to be commended!
