Or my ex, who had fits because I painted the kitchen walls gloss peach. LOL...he wouldn't let me choose paint without him after that! Back to the nail polish though...just because I can't imagine men wearing other than black doesn't mean they shouldn't, it's just a new idea for me, and the more I think about it the more I think it would be neat for men to wear the colors.
It's amazing what happens when people actually take a minute and think for themselves! THANK YOU! To me, nail color is an awful lot like tattoo ink, especially with respect to function (decorating the body). There's no reason at all for tattoos to be (until about 1985) "for men only", and there's no reason for nail color to be "for women only". The only reason people "think" it's feminine is because they really AREN'T thinking. Nail polish is really just paint.
I'll admit, some colors are feminine - regardless of the medium carrying it. Pink is feminine even if painted on a Hummer H-1 or molded into a Glock 9. Many pastels are rather feminine. But there's nothing wrong with "feminine" - most normal people have some of "masculine" and some of "feminine" in their personality, and every person needs to find a balance of these which makes them happy. And if that includes nail color - in any color - on a man, I say that deserves only admiration!
