The Egyptians first used nail polish as a sign of social order, but now it can be seen on nearly every woman walking the street. In an age where men have completely evolved in their; grooming habits is it ok for us to add a little color to our manicures? ...

Now when I talk about men getting a little festive with their nails I don't mean for any guy to go the route of  Sheneneh from the 90's sitcom, Martin. Would it be strange to shake a man's hand and discover his mauve nail polish?

As many teenagers going through a douche bag punk rock phase I did dab black nail polish on my fingers one day and believe after the looks I got in school it HAD to go. Years later I don't regret trying it out and would like to try out this experiment again. Since then the age of the metrosexual has materialized rather awesomely and men really do pay ten times more attention to their appearance.

It seems that painting one's nails is an area in mens grooming which is still looked down upon. In a world where there are continuing to be innovations in nail design industry suck as minx and different application procedures, why is this so?

As a persistent nail biter I would never get my nails done with anything fancy, but I wouldn't find coating my nails with a neutral tone before heading out the door to a fete.

Here are some pictures of guys with their nails done:
