I am a woman...I just found your blog and I love it! I am a woman and have long been ambivalent about presenting myself in stereotypically feminine ways. But the nail polishes out there these days are so gorgeous -- why should I deny myself something I like because someone might consider it (or me) to be "girly"? So, I have been getting into nail polish for the last few months as well (had to stop biting my nails, too!) and I'm glad I have. People should adorn themselves in ways that make them happy and not get bogged down in gender baggage - life is too short to worry about gender normativity!<br /><br />Anyway, I've known a goodly number of guys who like to paint their nails, so I know you are in good company. I know I'd be cool with my husband raiding my stash, too. Hopefully soon enough it won't even be noteworthy - like a woman wearing pants!corianderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669467568000037852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381336711814067141.post-32241879977787805772012-11-09T17:36:01.829-08:002012-11-09T17:36:01.829-08:00Thank you!Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291397087994224188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381336711814067141.post-29805950097958296182012-11-09T09:53:18.252-08:002012-11-09T09:53:18.252-08:00This is an awesome post!

I'm reading all your blog posts with a big smile on my face! You crush this stupid stereotype Wes! There is no reason for any man to feel self conscious about wearing polish. If you're not causing other people harm, then there's no reason for others to even worry about what you're doing. :) I wanna send you some polish to add to your collection! Will you email me and let me know what you do and don't like? I can tell from your posts you dig blues, but you probably want a little variety.

Nail polish and nail art is so in, I wouldn't be surprised if guys wearing polish caught on in some circles. I think it's cool.

I love reading about your adventures & seeing things through a mans perspective. Love all of ur color choices btw! My neighbor always has painted toe nails. 6'3" , very large strong man...pink toes...yes pink. Started when his daughter was young & she still paints them as a teenager. His rules: trim, file & massage. ;) keep up the great work!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567267215985289854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381336711814067141.post-27772944526981358922012-10-14T18:53:19.388-07:002012-10-14T18:53:19.388-07:00Great post - can't wait to read more from you!...Great post - can't wait to read more from you! I've always lived in very liberal and open minded areas, and I've known many men who wear polish (some just on toes, but some on both). I don't think of it any differently than a guy wearing a necklace etc. I've always thought polish was a silly thing to have associated with one gender over another.PolishPixellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129319765976654529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381336711814067141.post-39307572415724939272012-10-14T07:08:59.177-07:002012-10-14T07:08:59.177-07:00Excellent post!

In other cultures, polish was historically worn by the elite of both sexes to indicate rank and social standing - the ancient Egyptians and Chinese.
