What color of nail polish for guys?

I'm not one of the more effeminate bisexuals I know, to say the least, but I personally wasn't aware that there were "manly" colors of nail polish.

Having said that....my first thought would be a darkish indigo, though I'm not familiar enough with emo punk culture to know whether they've gotten to that one or not.

Who cares who's appropriated what? I still think black is awesome. Dark green is another good choice. I don't support darkish indigo as stated below, although I don't have a particular reason for it. :P

Haha, I love painting my nails! I don't usually use black because I think it's boring. If I'm feeling girly (as usual) I go with lavender or pink or bright red, right now they're kind of iridescent/pearly white with shades of purple and blue. A couple of years ago for Xmas I alternated red and green on every other nail. But sometimes I use dark green or primary blue or really deep almost brownish red. It all depends on my mood. Gold, silver and gray are good more masculine colors. Of course I clean them for job interviews or regular work days. If you have sensitive skin you'll want to get non-acetone nail polish remover but it takes a bit longer to clean them. Usually I just paint for the weekend.

It's not hard to do but if you want them to look good you'll need to get some clear for a base coat and top coat. Painting with your favored hand is pretty easy... I'm right handed so my left nails always look better than my right. Use short strokes, don't get too much polish on the brush and don't be afraid to dip the brush as much as you need to. I usually do a coat on each nail before I switch to the next coat. For some colors you'll need to do 2 or 3 coats before the top clear-coat. Plan on the painting to take from 5 to 15 minutes and give them at least half an hour to dry before you do anything with your fingertips. Have everything ready before you start, you don't want to be digging for more supplies when you're halfway done, and keep your phone out and ready so you don't have to reach into your pocket if it rings. Don't blow on them to dry, that can cause air bubbles. If you have a fan you can hold them in front of it and they will dry a bit faster. OR... you can go to a nail salon and get a manicure for about $20 or if you want to spurge, get a full mani-pedi for anywhere from $30 to $60 depending on the salon. I love pedicures, they're so relaxing.

There's no manly way to paint your nails. Just paint 'em whatever colour you want. Easy.

Something to compliment your manly wardrobe of course!

Couldn't you have at least posted this into another section?

Yellow is a bitch, FYI, even though I love neon yellow nails. You need a ton of layers and it takes forever to dry.

Maybe neon orange? Neon green? That weird teal? Any of those colors you see on sneakers nowadays, maybe.

Really metallic silver would look cool, so that your nails looked like metal? That'd probably look pretty manly, if that's what you're going for. Maybe another metallic color.
