Okay, so it’s pretty hard not to notice that men of all stripes are wearing colored nail polish more and more these days for either purely stylistic reasons or to proclaim their queer identities for all who can see. In both cases, it’s kinda great to see the guys rock what you’ve been painting on your tips all your life.
