At a bar in Houston the bartender commented on a guy who had painted fingernails. [I knew this guy, he was the drummer in a local band.] She said it was the second guy she had seen that week with painted fingernails and wants to know if it is a new trend.
Is it?
new? i’d hardly say new. in fact they have some nail polish called “male polish” which has been out for quite some time. quite a few acquaintances of mine paint their nails, and let me remind you of a fellow (?) called marilyn manson. but aside from him, other men paint their nails. it’s not as big a trend as it was some time ago. how long? i don’t know. a year? who knows!
ok now someone answer my question?
Huh, maybe they’re doing a study on irregular nail growth.
Ducking
I painted my fingernails with that clear stuff with sparklies in it about 2 years ago. even then i considered myself on the tails of the trend.

Yeah, used to paint… my thumbs black, and my pinkey ‘pink’… but I was a ‘punk’ so, who cares?! I stopped 2 years ago… it was funny, though… ladies used to ask me what was up…a nice pick-up line!!.. and the guys?.. a few gave me shit, but I always took care of myself, even at 150 lbs… Nobody ever fucks with me…
I knew a classical guitar player who painted his nails to keep them strong enough to play…he usually used clear, but every once in a while he’d borrow mine…maybe her town has been invaded by mad flamincos
Hmmm… I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s a musician thing.
One of the guitar players for my band wears it but I think he does it to draw more attention to his hand/playing or something. I dunno, I never asked him. I can think of maybe 10 other guys who I’ve seen in the last month with it on, but none of them were in the audience - they were up on stage.
I’m a drummer and my hands are usually flying around quite quickly so it’d be pretty hard to see any nail polish. Plus, it would taste awful when I gnaw on my nails.
