In lieu of such seriousness...nail polish!

That is really cool Sevan! I wish I could have my finger nails painted, but thats not really in the cards for me right now. At least I can paint my toes! (or at least my wife does anyways lol) they are dark shade of blue at the moment =)

Seven - Wow those nails are amazing.  I like painting my nails but hate removing it so I often have nails where the polish has come partly off and I just go over the whole nail again.  I seem to have misplaced my purple nail polish so I'll be getting some more soon my currently pink blotches on three of my nails are almost non existant I sometimes do 2 different colors but normaly just all purple

I heard about this on the radio the other morning driving home from work - it's nail polish for men. Thoughts?

If you want to see some really ridiculous marketing for mens' nail polish, look up Alpha Nail.  To me it just highlights how arbitrary and shallow society's concept of gender is.

I tend to wear silver/greys, blues and purples mostly.  Right now my big toes are silver and the other toes are purple.

I have tons of nail polish, but I only use it once or twice a year, usually on my toenails or on just my thumb or pinky fingernails. I like black, blue, silver, purple, or anything sparkly.

I painted my toe nails once... but i had to wear slippers around so my dad wouldnt see (no one notcied... EVER)... so i might just paint one toe nail... black (Like i wish my heart could be....)

As I prep for Pride I decided to attempt to paint my nail like our trans* flag (just my right thumb...as per my usual!)


and since the trans* flag is our design...you likely haven't seen it before (though I certainly hope you dig it!!) so here it is:

A perfect sweep!
Beautiful.

I don't know if anyone is still doing this thread...but I just wanted to post that I also LOVE nail polish.  My nails didn't really used to grow that much and I had this awful habit of chewing them but I started taking calcium supplements and now they grow SO FAST!

Anyway I guess I have about ten colors and I tend to go for the darker colors.  I mean I have a few sparkly ones but they're still dark.  Purple, blue, even green, and dark red.  I love them but it can be a huge pain.

I've used that hard as nails stuff but NOT the polish itself, lol.  I use the clear coat and it really, really helps the polish last a while.  I love it for that.  Sometimes I'll use it just to have something.  Sadly, there used to be a matte version instead of the shiny one, which I kind of preferred but I can't find it any longer.  So, I have vaguely shiny nails all the time now, whether it's just clear or not.

I love nail polish too and have actually thought about doing just one thumb, or a thumb and a finger
before, just to see what kind of reaction I get from people.  Partially because it takes more patience
than I have sometimes to do the full set, and it's hard to do my right hand with my left and get it
looking right.

Also, it always seems like 2 seconds later I do something and manage to chip one of them.  It takes
a lot of practice I think to have nice nails and do things in a way that won't screw them up.  But if
you just have 1-2 nails done, you can always do stuff with the non-painted fingers.

I have copper magnetic polish on my toes right now.  It's less cool than I hoped for.  The magnet on the cap is supposed to make a wavy pattern in it but it's so subtle as to almost not even be there.
