Hi All,
I've been wearing nail polish (gels) for at least the last two years. Right now I have red for the first time. Usually, I have a multi-colored theme with art. The red is definitely a more feminine color. Of course it is always visible regardless of how I'm presenting.
I'm dressed as male and women nearly always say something positive about my nails. Like "let me see", "where do you have these done?", "they're pretty/cute", or "I wish my nails looked that good." Last week the cashier at the grocery said "I'm all for it". It does make me feel better about being accepted as having a feminine quality.
I wonder if they'd have the same reaction if it was their boyfriend or husband? Probably not, but I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm abstract whereas a boyfriend/husband is too close to home? Would it somehow be an uncomfortable reflection on the female?
Thanks for your valuable time -- Mandy

That was one from earlier this year. I keep them short for my job.
