how does /fa/ feel about nail polish?

>>12583803

IT IS A KIND OF MAKEUP, THEREFORE, IT IS JUST AS SUPERFLUOUS, AND DISHONEST, AS FACIAL MAKEUP.

>>12583821
why this nigga still alive

>>12583803

try hard on guys

>>12583850
what does that even mean, trying hard at what

>>12583803
It's fine I guess. I hate those glued on talons girls do. And that matte brown looks like literal feces. So that's terrible. Only acceptable on guys if you're David Blaine or a successful metal singer.

It goes really well if you have a Coke vibe going, but if your wardrobe is diverse and you wear a fit where the nail polish doesn't blend in with the clothes , it can be cringe

>Only acceptable on guys if you're David Blaine or a successful metal singer.
That's totally immaterial to how it looks (bad), don't be so status obsessed

>>12583886
>What is cultural context

>>12584010
There's "socially acceptable" and "acceptable" in the sense of aesthetics. The thread is obviously in the latter context, nobody needs to be told nail polish on men generally isn't socially acceptable.

>>12584049
What's the difference between the two

>>12583821
yeah man I hate when bitches lie about their nail color

>>12584689
painting your nails really isn't that hard dude

IMO you can't do it if you are trying to look like someone else or embody some style. The ONLY acceptable way for men to wear nail polish is if they truly don't give a fuck and or just like the color or something like that. There is a very fine line between the acceptable use and absolute poser. I think lean and characters like lil peep can pull this kind of shit off simply because of the way they handle themselves.

>>12584719
That's not what he ment dumbass

i sometimes wear black nail polish, i find it goes well with a shoegaze aesthetic, especially when its slightly chipped

I think it's fine. I can't think of a negative

>>12583803
if it's only on matte green/matcha color, then it can be cute. any other looks whorish

>>12584074
Aesthetics are mathematical. All about ratios and shit.

If you want to wear it, wear it. If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. It's neither edgy nor unique anymore, and it's not something that goes with any specific style. The only people who care are the elderly.

It's a colloquialism. It doesn't refer to the physical difficulty of the task.

Someone who is a "try hard" could also be described as a "poser", or otherwise trying to force their way to fitting in. It's an adjective, not a verb/adverb.

This one's kinda cool

>>12583803
It makes looks girls look prettier and more put together

Depends, if the girl has nicely-shaped nails to start with then it looks good. Otherwise no.

>if the girl has nicely-shaped nails to start with then it looks good
What does this even mean? You have no clue what you're talking about.

>>12586214
I'm not that anon, but it means literally what it says. Are you mentally deficient?

I personally like nails fairly short, with a large radius roundedness to them. In other words, a relatively straight contour. I dislike claws, falsies, super long nails, and super rounded nails.

With exception to >>12585742 (which is a bit overly long for me), the nail pics I posted fit my above criteria.

>>12586235
I mean, nicely filed nails should be the default before anyone paints their nails. No one just paints their nails without shaping it first. That's retarded.

>>12585741
Try hard means expending more effort than is appropriate, as in a video game where one player gives 100% in casual play. You guys are just misusing it.

I think it's trashy on women.
Looks try hard and weird on guys.

>>12584697
but it's called a MANicure

Wouldn't recommend nail styling for men. However I sig nail polish on women. In all honesty hygiene of the nails and making sure there filled properly and well taken care of is a thing I look when meeting someone. When getting yours nails done women, stick to french manicures, and nude colours/tones/shades. Its the most chic looking imo.

>>12586516
*dig *I look at

>>12585651
This

>>12583850
what if I just like how it looks

>>12586516

nothing for guys, get a manicure or whatever but don't do any polish on it because it looks ridiculous

>>12586571
Read what I wrote you tard.

>>12586573

>>12586516
nah french nails looks shit, paint or bust

>>12584791
Came to say this pretty much. Its cool if you don't care about others opinions on the fact that you enjoy polishing your nails.

>>12583803
miss me with that gay shit

On guys it's alt-normie shit for guys who think they can get cool kid points for gender-bending

>>12586573
