Hey /fa/.
One week ago I smashed my finger with a door and now the skin under my nail is black in some areas. I painted my nail black so it doesn't look that bad. I already went outside a few times with my nail like that and everybody asked my what happened but they don't seem bothered by my nail. I'm straight btw
What do you guys think? Is it effay? Have you done this before? Should I keep it like this until my nail heals?

Idk senpai it depends on how you look. Yung lean did this and it looked bretty OK imo. If you are ugly and tall I think it would look like shit
>>11547857
It'll look even weirder when your nail falls off now
so you didn't want to post a "ask a guy with a smashed finger anything" thread on /b/
fail

Nobody really gives a fuck, I've noticed. The only time it was ever pointed out when two girls said, "I like your nails."
Straight, if that matters. I don't bother with a topcoat and let them chip.
I used to paint specific fingers, but then I always ended up feeling it was dumb and just end up painting the entire hand.
Since I've started my office internship I don't really feel like it would fly. Even if it is a startup, it's still business casual.
Enjoy it, dude. It really makes your nails feel nice.
Ty for the reply anon. Do you have any pictures? I wanna see how it looks on you

I've been painting my nails for about 8 months (straight guy). A friend of mine did it as a joke but it got compliments so I just kept doing it. It's honestly a lot of fun to try out different colors and finishes and stuff plus people will think you're edgy and subversive for not conforming to gender roles which can be a pro or con depending on who you associate with.
i also paint my nails (sometimes only a few and sometimes only one) and i think people just respect it honestly

no one gives a fuck aside from 'i like your nails' from a few girls. Mine are safety cone orange right now and literally the gayest color on the autism spectrum.
Fuck my life did this with my thumb, blood under my nail made a dick shape and nail was concave in, been 3 months and hasn't even grown enough to be gone

>painting a nail to cover up bruising
This is the worst excuse I've ever heard.

These are true desu, just go for your whole hand OP it'll look dope, plenty of people do it, and I've only gotten compliments. Obvi it has to match your style, if you dress prep it'll look homo. But I dress a bit skater/ rock star inspired so it enhances that

fatboi hands

Nobody actually respects it, don't deceive yourself.

all depends on your personality dude. If you're not a submissive loser who submits to the standards of someone else then you have a strong personality, independent and interesting. Basically: do what you like because life is limited, so you better enjoy it.
>paint nails round girlfriend's
>get home the next day and fall into what feels like a k hole
>ridiculous fever, vomiting, sweating buckets, throat so fucked I can't talk
>spend a couple of days playing JoJo before noticing the nail polish is chipping off and looks like shit, so peel it off
>better the next day
