well i recently bought a few female items online as i am trying to revive my dressing and the first thing to come was some nude nail polish that i thought i might try wearing in guy or drab mode as some call it... anyway i wore my nails out today painted and they look a bit darker than normal in some light and shinier but all in all not that noticable... i went to a meeting and to two stores im applying at for part time work and to the gym at my apartment complex and no one noticed or at least didnt say anything but i felt great that i at least wasnt 100% repressed as normal even if its only a 1% improvement... to be honest i think guys would look good in a flesh colored nail polish anyway (and that is kinda my closet explaination along with "i thought it would look good")... of course i would prefer sparkly pink but im taking baby steps here - also im wondering if anyone would really think that much about my nails being painted as although i am not effeminate in male mode really at all i do have pierced ears and wear stud earrings and have multiple tattoos so im thinking i get some leeway (spelling) as i guess i might get categorized as more alternative or whatever - anyway whenever i see my nails shine a little it makes me feel like i am being a little more my true self and hopefully i can become more comfortable with the person i am which is still a challenge for me even though i have accepted i like being girly even though i wasnt born a female
