I started painting my nails 4 years ago. My wife really hated it. Eventually she accepted painting my toes, but always said she would prefer if I only did clear “your nails but better” on my fingers, but I regularly do full colors.

Today, I have on a your nails but better manicure for the first time in several months. My wife said “see, I like that. But I like when you wear darker colors more.” I was shocked! She said that she really liked the deep red I had on last week (this is a big deal because she HATES red nails in general, on anyone), along with other darker colors that I’ve worn recently. The pics are the recent manicures that she liked.

We both agreed that deeper jewel tones look better on my fingers, and the light/bright stuff should be limited to pedicures.

To those whose wives are not supportive, it might just take time and finding the right colors.

I received the rare compliment from another man. He even said he was thinking about getting a set done.

My family hates it. They think it is too close to my natural color, and too flat.
