Here&#8217;s why guys with nail polish\u2014and those into in beauty and grooming\u2014should do as they please.<\/em>\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s consider the economy. Men have the potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/05\/17\/men-are-a-multibillion-dollar-growth-opportunity-for-the-beauty-industry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">add multi-billions to the beauty and self-care industries<\/a>. Yet at the moment, these markets largely neglect to tap into this demographic.\r\n\r\nThat said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/mens-skincare-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">male-targeted skincare<\/a> sales have bumped up seven percent in the last year alone, according to the NPD Group&#8217;s iGen Beauty Consumer report.\r\n\r\nAs the men&#8217;s grooming market continues to broaden, one trend we love to see more is men wearing nail polish.\r\n<h2>Nail Polish as Self-Expression<\/h2>\r\nWhen we start to break down the concept of nail polish\u2014or any cosmetic product for that matter\u2014it starts to lose its binary bond. When products are made to enhance the human body, feel fun and colorful, and allow for personal expression, where does gender identity come into play? Why is nail polish geared towards only the female-identifying? We all can enjoy color and we all have nails, right?\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re starting to see more male-identifying people wearing nail polish. It\u2019s being recognized for what it is: a form of accessorizing. Accessories are a simple form of expression. They allow us to alter the basic framework of our appearance and typical garb, and give it our own unique self-realization. It\u2019s a freedom.\r\n\r\nThis is a beautiful thing to all men with an urgency to self-fulfill, actualize, and express. These men identify as male. They are actors, athletes, businessmen, and manual laborers.\r\n<h2>Two Men Discuss Wearing Nail Polish<\/h2>\r\nNail color is fun. Wearing nail polish can give men (and women alike) a feeling of control, of strength in vulnerability, of softness, of edge.\r\n\r\nHere&#8217;s what two guys who choose to wear nail polish have to say on the matter.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"81766f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #81766f;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21362 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Men-Wearing-Nail-Polish-Men-and-Nail-Polish-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Man wearing nail polish to show that beauty isn't binary and men can wear nail polish\" width=\"770\" height=\"510\" \/>\r\n<h3>Cambryan<\/h3>\r\nFor Cambryan Sedlick, a 20 year-old skateboarder living in Los Angeles, wearing nail polish as a man is at once an inspiration, a tribute, and a rebellion.\r\n\r\n\u201cStill to this day, after four years [of wearing nail polish], I still get questioned about my painted nails with a disgusted look on [people&#8217;s] faces, whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-fart\/\">gas<\/a> station workers or fellow skateboarders. Masculinity continues to be a trained subject in society.\r\n\r\n\u201cI started painting my nails after watching one of my favorite skaters, Dylan Rieder, as a teenager. It\u2019s stuck with me throughout the years. It\u2019s something that has developed into a comfort for me. I will continue to paint them\u2014something about that look on judgmental people\u2019s faces only makes me want to paint them more.\u201d\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"73614b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #73614b;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21363 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Guys-with-Nail-Polish-Pedicure-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpeg\" alt=\"Man with colorful gel pedicure to illustrate that guys can wear nail polish\" width=\"770\" height=\"881\" \/>\r\n<h3>Matthew<\/h3>\r\nFor Matthew Ripley, a 34-year old brewer living in San Diego, it\u2019s a mixed bag. It\u2019s nostalgia, closeness to friends and family, and a connection to something softer, expressive, and calming.\r\n\r\n\u201cI started painting my toes as a kid. My sister hated all the activities I was interested in, so she would always suggest we do pedicures. I was the baby and just wanted to hang out [her], so I was always down. Over the years, it became a coveted bonding experience.\r\n\r\n\u201cAs I got older, I found myself doing it with female friends and roommates. It was a fun way to relax with the ladies, experiment with funky colors and designs, and get the latest \u2018tea,\u2019 of course.\r\n\r\n\u201cA few years ago, my girlfriend took me to a salon to get my first professional pedicure. It was so relaxing to have someone else take the reins. I especially loved the foot massage part. I remember people thinking it was strange for me to get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-gel-nails-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gel design<\/a> instead of basic clear nail polish, but I thought, <em>how boring would that be?<\/em>\r\n\r\n\u201cAs far as society is concerned, I don\u2019t think of nail painting as a gender-specific activity. To me, it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re male, female, nonbinary, etc. Looking down at my feet and finding a pop of color makes me happy. It\u2019s a unique way to express yourself and spark joy. Who doesn\u2019t want to chase that?\u201d\r\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\r\nWe tend to agree with Matthew&#8217;s parting words. No one should withhold any form of self-expression or joy for the sake of unsubstantiated tradition or conformity\u2014and men wearing nail polish is no exception.\r\n\r\nNo matter how one identifies, we shouldn\u2019t need permission or approval from others to color our bodies\u2014and our lives\u2014as we wish.\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/14\/killer-nails\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/86942a20-6dfb-11ee-b714-01e676f7393f.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Killer Nails\u00ae\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.6\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t220 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Killer Nails\u00ae<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsupports longer, stronger nails + hair\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$12<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men wearing nail polish isn&#8217;t just a growing trend; it&#8217;s a statement of self-expression.
