"The black color complements a lot of colors, and by choosing black, one does not have to waste time differentiating between the different shades of colors. "
"Another reason a guy would paint his nails black is that he enjoys it; believe it or not, some guys enjoy wearing nail polish just as much as women do, and really, who wouldn’t? "
"Nail polish is satisfying to watch, especially the application process. Another reason why some guys wear black nail polish is because it helps them concentrate more on studying or doing work. Although this is not yet scientifically proven, there are some personal accounts that attest to it "
"Another benefit of painting the nails black is that black nails affect the tone quality while playing the guitar. "
WHAT?? IHAVE WORKED WITH A LOT OF GUITAR PLAYERS AND HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS.
"Some guys paint their nails black or paint their nails, in general, to redefine what it means to be masculine. For a long time, people had to abide by limiting societal beliefs about what men should and should not do. "
HHAHAHA Well I guess I need to run out and get some black nail polish cause all I have is red.

Mine are black from working on cars and such. And from mashing my fingers while doing so.
a hammer to the tip of each finger will leave them black for a few weeks........
I stole a bottle of purple polish & some remover from my wife and it's on a shelf in the gun room. The remover helps get the sealer off the adjusting screws on rifle triggers and the polish seals them after I adjust them. But I guess that probably doesn't count.
Got a black bugger hook right now. Use to keep one often, mashed from construction and black from grease and oil on equipment.
84, I have drilled a few, a very tense moment for sure.
Ricci- you can paint your nails any color you want. You don’t need to explain to us why.
Stupid. I am sticking with clear.
Because they are happy?
My nephew has 2 or 3 nails painted black and one red, he also dyes his hair, why I have no idea and I am not going to ask him either. He also has a bunch of stupid tattoos all over a ring in his nose and rings in his ears. He wears black paints and shirts and looks like a clown. I try not to look at him too often because I remember the nice kid I taught to shoot and fish not a clown with rings in his face and * tattoos all over his arms.
Some time back I had a boss who painted his toe nails
Our crew met at local bar restaurant one day in the summer not unusual but he was wearing Sandels
Some one pointed out Ron had his toenails painted
Of course we had to look and chime in
His wife was their and backed his story at some point she painted them as a joke and he liked it so for years he just kept painting them
At the time ha was 61 or 62 yrs old
To each their own
And you came up with this fun fact how???
I believe the question should be "why do guys paint their nails?". Don
When you mature you can take the nuts and bolts etc out of your face.The tatts take a lot more money and effort to take off.
I have a hard enough time just trimming my toe nails! Painting them.......Ya Right!!
Wouldn't spray paint just be a lot quicker?
No use saying anything because we are not allowed to anymore. But i don't think I really want to know why they do it. I see all kinds of strange people at the guns shows every weekend. It gets worse every day. But they have more money than you think. So I try mu best to get all I can from them lolol
Like Ditch said - to each heir own.
I don't and don't plan to start either.
...because they wear cobra snake cowboy boots
Got to looking at a few guitar pickers, some do paint their right hand finger nails.
Back in my day, the gals liked "Manly Men"
I do not have a clue what they like now days but it seems to have changed significantly.
My target shotgun sights are blacked with nail polish to help prevent bead checking.
To do it to strengthen and harden the nails for finger picking a guitar makes sense, though if I were to do it I'd go with clear. To do so out of some odd vanity? No. Not happenin'.
One of my female Sgts (really good soldier) turned up for inspection with a broken ankle- in a cast. Uniform was Battle Dress (cammies). She had an olive drab cast. Toenails were green, black, tan, brown nail polish.
Because men are being feminized by society............sadly some of them go along with it.
I’ve used red nail polish in place of lock tight before, that’s it. But for men to wear nail polish suggests something else to me.
A nearby Starbucks has an employee that is a 6'3" guy with a face full of makeup, colored hair and black nails. The most off-putting thing about all of it is his choice of lip color. The black lipstick is just NOT working for him....you just stare at his mouth moving without actually hearing anything he's saying because your brain can't stop saying "wow".
Sorry only a homo would paint their nails.
May as well cut off the frank and beans.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
take him a tube of pink lipstick and tell him next time............
There was a Fellow at the grocery curtesy counter who had black nails with sparkles. I was looking to see if they had the jars of herring. He didn't even know that herring were fish. Think it was more his age than his nail color. Good thing I didn't ask for gefilte fish.
Did you ask him if his phone, matched his panties????? 😉
He probably asked for his phone number. HAHAHAHA
Most likely following the directions/ dare of a girl/boyfriend.
