Q & A: Nail polish and men

Man with fingernail polish

Q & AQ: Is it OK for a man to wear nail polish on fingernails and toenails?

A: Yes, absolutely—it’s perfectly OK for a man to wear nail polish on both his finger and toe nails. In fact, this has become increasingly common and socially accepted across many cultures.

Here are a few points to consider:

  • Self-Expression: Nail polish can be a fun and creative way to express your personality, style, or mood, regardless of gender.

  • Fashion Trend: Many male celebrities, musicians, athletes, and influencers openly wear nail polish (for example, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Machine Gun Kelly, and several NBA players).

  • Historical Context: Nail polish isn’t new to men. In ancient Babylon, warriors painted their nails before battle. Different colours often signified status.

  • Current Social Norms: Gender boundaries in fashion and beauty are blurring more than ever. Men wearing nail polish is part of that broader shift toward more inclusive self-expression.

  • Confidence is Key: Some people may still hold traditional views, but confidence in your choice often silences critics.

If you’re interested in it—whether for style, art, rebellion, or just because you like how it looks—go for it! It’s your body, your choice.
