Nail polish for men

Nail polish for men and actually men wearing nail polish? Well, this is not as strange as it may sound at first. Nail polish for men is on the contrary something that's becoming more and more common and OK as people respond positively. Today the classic terms masculine and feminine and all the things they stand for are losing importance and a remote consequence of this is nail polish for men as well as for women. The goal for many, especially women and feminists, is to achieve judgment because of what you do and not which sex you belong to. Terms like homosexuality, metrosexuality and ubersexuality are not forbidden as they were not too long ago and this is reflecting throughout the society. A lot more men then before is interested of their looks and health of the outside of the body, not only the condition of the heart for example. Nail polish for men is gaining acceptance. Beauty products like skin care creams and face peelings are visible on many men's bathroom shelves, they appreciate best anti wrinkle cream tips and sometimes even use make-up like mascara or eye shadow and now also nail polish for men. For many men other men wearing nail polish is still something very distant and probably scary. You don't want to look like a woman or gay, right? But what if the most masculine men are those who dare to show some feminine sides, like the mean wearing nail polish? Anyway, nail polish for men is not unusual anymore.

The world of rock is the place where you're most likely to find men wearing nail polish. It's one of the distinguishing features along with long hair, black eyeliner and leather clothes. Other man artists may as well wear nail polish but musicians working with rock or rock related music are the often the men wearing nail polish. Nail polish for men is often in dark shades. You find colors like gunmetal gray, stormy dark blue, dark olive green, and of course the most common; black. The color field with brighter shades and pastels is still not very well explored by men wearing nail polish, but as time goes by and social changes continue we will probably not have to wait for long before nail polish for men is more colorful. Just as with everything else; when a famous person is seen with, for example a specific nail polish, it gets very popular. David Beckham was seen with his wife Victoria Beckham in a fashion photo where he wore black nail polish for men. This instantly spread through the world. Some men wearing nail polish do it only on the toe nails and show it only to their partners in private and avoid to be seen in public. Other men wearing nail polish chose the transparent ones and manicure and pedicure (though without color nail polish) for men is common today. A conclusion: Nail polish for men is spreading over the world. I think this is something good and fun.
