I'm a man who discovered...Thank you SCRANGIE!!! I'm a man who discovered nail color in July when I lost a bet and had to wear hot pink on my toes for a week.<br /><br />Take a moment and imagine yourself as a man working in heavy construction. You're required to wear poorly ventilated steel-toe boots all day... and you've never even thought about putting anything on your toes except soap at bathtime and an occasional tube of Lotrimin AF.<br /><br />That's where I was in June. Honestly, I could not remember a time when I wasn't embarrassed to show my feet, despite a dedicated and continuous fight against fungus and general nastiness.<br /><br />Then, suddenly, I lost the bet and painted my toes. Instantly, the "fugly yellow" was hidden, and - even with hot pink "Party Girl Creme" on - they were not embarrassing. ALSO, the paint does the same job on my toes that it does on my car - it protects them from moisture and corrosion. Since July, I've worn polish almost continuously. The fugly yellow nails have grown out and been replaced by clear, healthy nails, and the polish even seems to inhibit the growth of nasties on my skin.<br /><br />So, my point is that NOT ONLY is there no good reason for men to shun polish, there is actually a very good reason FOR men to wear it, at least on their toes! <br /><br />I think the time has come... and I think that WOMEN should encourage their men to try polish on their toes, for at least a week. When he notices that, besides looking better, he has also escaped the itching, burning and peeling that has been a fact of life for so long.... he'll be hooked!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898789417115875126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-64247565678663653692009-08-28T19:42:13.425-05:002009-08-28T19:42:13.425-05:00I am a male who aspires to wear nail polish in the...I am a male who aspires to wear nail polish in the same way females are able to wear it - whatever color they want, whenever they want, and for the most part, wherever they want. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the courage to do it except once or twice, but this kind of post really helps give me some encouragement and confidence. The fact that companies are still taking the leap and offering polish for men is also quite promising. <br /><br />Also - thanks Scrangie for keeping us guys in mind! It seems like a silly thing but the fact that we can't use nail polish without fear of ridicule still exists, and hearing your inclusive thoughts is slowly helping to break down that stigma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-80170559297465756562009-08-28T14:54:08.529-05:002009-08-28T14:54:08.529-05:00@Alyssa - Au contraire...

And if he *is* the sort to wear it, guns and widow makers are probably not going to be that attractive to him! How about a line for men named after glam rock stars instead?Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651065872724626149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-29862105551601226492009-08-26T10:56:21.131-05:002009-08-26T10:56:21.131-05:00I really like these!

Thanks for the amazing swatches, as usual.<br /><br />Since the rest all have weaponry or military themed names, I'm assuming Widowmaker is referring to the colloquial name for military jets with high incidences of fatal accident.

You always do such a fantastic job when reviewing new polishes, and this time is certainly no exception!<br /><br />I guess I don't really care if it says it's for men or not, but I think that maybe some guys may be a bit hesitant to wear polishes that seem 'girly', so I am really glad that BB Couture has broken through this misnomer and introduced these awesome masculine-looking colors. And you're right, they are different - in a cool sort-of way.<br /><br />I have been wearing my toes polished for some time and am really, really excited to see this nail polish collex for men because it makes it even more 'okay' for guys to wear it. And, it also acknowledges the many open-minded men who don't really want to be 'boring' anymore.<br /><br />Kudos to BB Couture for their insightful introduction of this cool style trend, and Kudos to you Scrangie for your awesome review!<br /><br />I hope more women take the initiative to introduce their guy to this, as mine did many years ago (thanks dear!). And I hope more men wise up to the fact that being a bit more expressive is not a bad thing for us!Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879415933766214419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049173977991321788.post-18020823733164833982009-08-25T20:07:43.407-05:002009-08-25T20:07:43.407-05:00Thanks for showing these.

I also think they can be worn on women as well.
