Ladies - Does a man using colored nail polish make him a sexy warrior?

Re http://www.alphanail.com/

Would you be OK with a male date or SO using colored nail polish? Would it bring the sexy?

WTF? No.

Geneb and I both say “Hellnaw!”

(Seriously. Horrible idea. On many levels.)

I catch enough shit just for using a purse.

What are other levels besides it just being ridiculous?

Well, I guess that it chips. That’s why I don’t wear nail polish.

Who is their target market? None of the guys I know, whether gay or straight, wear colored nail polish. I do know a couple who get clear polish as part of a manicure, and they get mercilessly ballbusted over it. I’d say you better be as tough as those fighters they have doing their modeling if you plan on wearing this stuff in public.

The only, repeat ONLY, guy who could pull it off was Spike.

Ew, no way.

Well, I’m a goth chick, and back when I was dating, I dated goth guys. I’ve definitely gone out with men wearing any number of nail polish colors. My current partner doesn’t wear nail polish very often, largely because his nails qualify as lethal weapons in their native state, and adding a nail hardener would be terrifying. I like flamboyant men, what can I say?

More mainstream, I’ve definitely noticed black men wearing clear nail polish with high frequency, so I assume it’s considered normal in at least some black communities.

I like it. It probably wouldn’t work well on my husband, but there are many guys who would look great with it (my brother could definitely pull it off).

If I were dating Steven Tyler or an MMA fighter, sure.

Eeeew. No. I like my men to be a little less…attention-seeking.

Wouldn’t bother me in the least, any more than eyeliner does. Besides, some peoples’ nails chip and tear easily and polish can help with that.

I feel sorry for the models on that site. If they ever get famous someone is gonna dig out that picture and the result will be hilarious.

Very few can pull the look off. The majority of men…NO!!

I need to amend my answer a bit, because my guy DOES use clear nail polish, because his nails split something terrible due to a medical condition. But until he told me, and I saw the bottle of nail polish, I wasn’t aware he was doing it.

I guess it doesn’t bother me much. It would all be in how they carried it off. It’s not that big of a deal. Not a dealbreaker, say, as much as a goatee would be.

I kid, I kid. :stuck_out_tongue:

I always thought the “gay agenda” was a myth, but now I’m not so sure.

Classy, I can’t decide between the Cocaine color or the Benjamins color. Which is more manly?

Only if it’s the toenails that are painted, and they can’t be pink.
