Hey girls.

First time i share my life, but this is a really big deal for me. I have a weekend with my friends right now and my gf was getting ready, doing nails and packing, im always pretty punctial so i was long finished, so essentially i had some time to kill. What to do? Then is saw my nail set in the bathroom, and i thought: lets make some pretty nails. I made a black / dark green patern and it was just a crime to remove immediatly. So i did something i never thought I'll do.

I left it on! 😳 The response so far is really positive. Another friend also did his nails when he saw mine. So happy! Tomorrow we're going to Rotterdam for dinner and bowling. I really wonder how everyday people will react. But is do look fabulous!

Ps. I tried to add a picture but im not that good with forums so i failed. Is it even possible?

Hi Cynthia

I didn't wear nail polish in drab for the longest time, because I was afraid of the reaction.

Then I started doing it ... and ... no-one's bothered at all. Not one comment. Ever.

I've got bolder since I took early retirement. For the last few days my nails have been a sort of metallic coppery pink. I smile every time I look at them!

PS - Sadly, posting photos in the Forums isn't allowed. Shame ... your own nails sound fabulous 🙂

Your nails sound awesome!

They are, but let's talk more about yours:)

You made a green and black pattern? Wow.

Doing patterns on your own, especially when you have to use the 'wrong' hand, sounds pretty advanced!

I feel I need to know more ...

It's perfectly possible to hate JK Rowling while still loving Harry Potter 🙂

Creations are separate from their creator.

Hi, Cynthia, there seems to be a theme at the moment, of things turning out better than expected. I've no doubt that your nails will be accepted in the same vein.

No, not in forums, but you can always add a picture to your public photos page. Just hover over Photos along the top then click on Upload Your Photo and away you go.

Good on you Cynthia.  Me thinks nobody cares....well maybe they care enough to toss a few compliments your way.  Yes please!

I started getting gel manicures a few months ago.  I really had no good reason to wait since I'm trans.  I just never did it.  Now that I have, I don't see myself going back anytime soon.

While you can't post photos in the Forums, you can post a link to your Private Photos.  Post one in there and then paste the link into this thread.

I do not think it matters any more, men having painted nails. Ithas been a 'thing' for quite a while and know that Goths , gosh even back in the day New Romantics had them.

Naturally for you it has a personal meaning but it is a start and hope you are able to bring yourself out more.

My vocabulary just got expanded. I never knew such a trend existed, except maybe Sonny and Cher indirectly.

I tend to wear very pale or clear nail polish at work and coloured at the weekend.

Hugs, Anna xx

I wear a light pink most of the time with a top coat of clear gloss, if I feel brave the light pink is replaced with a bright pink. I am due at the hairdressers in a few weeks and I hope to pluck up the courage to ask for a manicure while my hair is being done.

I have worn various colors from clear to extermely light pink to metalic silver and bright red while othwrwise in male mode. I have had several comments, all positive. People, espcially women seem to like it a compliment me on the color, or ask what shade I am wearing. Most guys just don't comment but also do not seem to care. I would wear colors more often but my wife prefers I keep my dressing quiet.
