Ok, I so often post about the experiences of painting your nails as a man and things like what to expect, how to enjoy it and so on, but today, I'm just going to post about my latest nail polish.
Today I tried out a new color called 'Girls Night Out' by Jesses Girl which is a light to medium blue. I've always gone with darker blues in the past, which I love, but decided to give this one a try. And I love it. But then I love SO many colors, but now this will rank among some of my favorites. I tend to gravitate to reds, blues, darker pinks, metallic browns and sometimes dark metallic green. Colors I shy away from are ones like pastels, yellows, white, etc.
So far I've only had it on my toes for a couple of days so no long term reports on wear, but it went on fairly decent. The first coat was pretty transparent requiring a mandatory 2nd coat. But after 2 coats I'm happy with the coverage.
And here's another shot of this color, but with some sandals I bought at Payless shoes not to long ago. I bought these in the womens department because I like them and felt they weren't too
feminine. I don't worry about whether the label says they are for men or women, I worry about Do I Like Them. If I do, and I think I could wear them in public, or in just in private, I may buy them. I had decided that most all my mens shoes were boring and wanted one pair of pretty sandals I could wear in public without drawing to much attention and decided these fit the bill.
Anyway, hope you like the color, and let me know your thoughts on the shoes.
Till next time, keep your toes and/or fingers painted they way that makes you happy, and forget about what the rest of the world thinks because life is to short.

Nice post Guy. You are one lucky man to be able to find nice sandals in your size. I also am a sandal wearer most of the year, even in late year months, I live in California so the weather permits it. The only sad story for me is I am a size 11 shoe, and getting sandals from the women's section is really hard to find. I have come across some very nice looking sandals that like you said, are not too feminine, but I never find any that fit me. :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks Gustavo! Actually, I wear a mens sz 10 1/2 so have to find a sz 11 1/2 wide or sz 12 in the women's dept. Payless.com has more selection but I did get these locally. Sales girl even helped me.
ReplyDeleteNo chance for me to find less clunky sandals with my size 15 mens feet! That is why I wear flip flops when I am not working. Those sandals don't look feminine or masculine, they just are nice sandals. I would never have guessed they were ladies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim, that's good to hear about the sandals.
DeleteAlso, if any guys are looking for larger sized shoes from the womens dept, check out Barefoot Tess in the "Other Links" section on the upper right side of this blog. They carry up to size 15 in womens shoes.
DeleteIts really hard to find non clunky for men thank for the info,
Deletetoe rings look great with sandals, I have one on my big toe.
Now that I'm retired all I wear are sandals and clear polish on my toes. Would like to go with a color looking for a mild color
I think it's all about feeling comfortable. It doesn't matter what others think its about what you think. Whether its a sexy pair of sandals or brightly painted nails, whats important is how comfortable they make you feel. I can't think of a cleaner feeling then having freshly pedicured nails with a clean coat of polish.
