Male Polish: Snoop Dogg Rocks a French Manicure — Is This The New Trend?
I thought men rocking nail polish was old news (see Dwyane Wade) but the internet has been buzzing since Snoop Dogg posted a picture on Instagram engaging in his favorite green hobby and showing off his French manicure.
Maybe the style of manicure is a new phenomenon on men, but we know plenty of guys who take pride in polishing their nails and have been doing it for years.
It’s important to me that a man pay attention to his nails, keeping them neatly groomed and manicured. Polishes (from clear to darker colors) are optional and not cause for concern.
However, a French manicure pushes the boundaries of what’s acceptable male polish to some people and in Snoop Dogg’s case, it had tongues wagging. His picture received so much attention on Instagram alone it was at 30K likes at the time of this post.
As long as it’s neat and understated, I’m all for men with manicures. Nail art is another conversation though.
What about you, Clutchettes? What do you think of Snoop Dogg’s manicure? Would you embrace French manicures as a new male polish trend?
Snoop Dogg is going crazy. Not b/c of the nail polish. More just the random antics.
I’m just saying, how you gonna have a perfect french tip and your hair is a WRECK?!!!
This just proves what I have been saying all along, Snoop is not a true Rasta but a fashion dread.This is Babylon system brainwashing. I’m not a Ras and even see this is bere effery!
But if men are going to start wearing nail polish let them, but you will never catch my son or my husband with this mess, yuh mad?! Dwrcl!
I see no problem with at all. I rock nail polish all the time. I don’t do the nail art, but I have so many colors it’s crazy. lol I dig it. I love it. Its fun. And so what….Im a man. Nail polish does not make you gay. Gay is when you like men. Nail polish is just paint.
“Rocking nail polish is fun…”
Ladies & gentlemen, in my culture, this is what we call, a Batty Bwoy.
With all these “men/boys” wearing women’s clothes, painting their nails, sagging their pants, & sexing men, this is a clear indication of young men having no connection with their fathers.
I love women & appreciate their efforts, but it takes more than a woman to raise a young boy into a man.
Batty Bwoy is a pejorative!
I do agree that it takes two sets of parents, not just the mother to raise a young boy into a man! Amen to that!
Well, there certainly are some who think that. But people can beleive what they want, and there is no way any of us will ever be able to control that (or want to).
Painting nails is something that has been widely considered something that women do, and men don’t. But that is changing. Many men are wearing their nails Ifingers and toes) painted today, and more are discovering this growing style for men.
Gay means that you like other men. Painting your nails means that you like to have painted nails. Seems pretty simple to me.
@ AM:
“Batty Bwoy is a pejorative”!
So, what’s your point?
@ Robbie
1) How old are you? You talk about what grown men do, but I don’t know any grown, STRAIGHT men who answer to “Robbie”.. Perhaps Robert, Rob, or Bobby. “Robbie sounds like a name a child would answer to… Or someone gay. Plus, the way you express yourself sound young… “Painting nails is fun”, like some little girl who plays dress-up in their mom’s jewelry & clothes. Again, nothing a grown man would say, not a straight one anyways.
Speaking of which:
2) You try to make the distinction of what “being gay” is…. Are you a straight man?
3) Just being “times c
are changing, doesn’t mean they are changing for the better.
4) Just because you think that this is “pretty simple” doesn’t mean that it is. There are people in this world, that think killing, chopping up, & eating another human being is “pretty simple”.
What this is, is being pretty LOST.
hahaha Well my is Robbie Im 45. Being doing my nails for around 12 years now. Im straight. Now what you are showing is cultural conditioning. But its all good. To each its own. And yes. It’s FUN! ;-)
I wonder what your father has to say about your cosmetic choices, “Robbie”
“How do your father feel about you wearing jeans? Feel me?”
What an absurd question. Of course my father has no problems with me wearing jeans, so long as A) they are clean, B) not tight, or C) not sagging off my ass.
Unlike some people, I do not wear my clothes in such a way that sends the wrong message about myself.
My father have no problem with it. Why would he? He still gonna love me. If I came to him and say that I was gay. Would he stop loving me? Im his son. He will love me the same. As long as I ain’t on drugs, robbing and stealing he has zero problem with it. It is just paint. How do your father feel about you wearing jeans? Feel me? I haven’t seen one nail salon that say For Women Only. All cultural conditioning.
Why would he think anything? He doesn’t have a problem with it at all. Why would he? If I came to him and say I was gay, would he stop loving me as his son? No. He does not care at all. I am not doing anything wrong.
I’m with you. there is absolutely nothing that is biologically female about nail polish. Putting it on your nails says absolutely nothing about whether you like having sex with men, women, or both. I’m a straight cis woman and I don’t wear nail polish or make up or earrings. I don’t understand all the hate you’re getting here, I think it’s abhorrent.
I dig it.
And soon he’ll be posing in lingerie…..
Precisely. It’s amazing how people have refused to take notice to the not-so-gradual feminizing of black males. we are being systematically destroyed, mentally, physically, & socially.
Wearing dresses, wearing nail polish, talking all high-pitched with a “lisp”, looking all greazed up & soft…
Usually if it quacks like a duck then it is one, but somehow we are supposed to believe that these dudes aren’t gay?
That’s the Jedi Mind Trick: convincing people what they don’t see what is right in front of their very eyes.
And I guess that yellow liquid on my leg is rain too, right?
I think you are very close minded and a bigot. You clearly do not like the idea of men painting their nails, but make no firm argument against it. How does painting of nails, a component of what you call ‘not-so-gradual feminizing of [black] males’, systematically destroying society? What does it matter?
If not liking the systematic destruction of black males equates to being closed minded, then quilty as charged.
You clearly haven’t read all my responses here, if you think I’ve made “no firms argument” here.
It’s not just the painting of nails that I take grievance with. It’s the systematic emasculation of black males that we are watching taking place in our communities. This “male polish” issue is but one example.
If you cannot bring yourself to see it (perhaps because you yourself are a victim of it?), then perhaps I am not the one who is closed minded here.
“What does it matter”, that our people are being destroyed systematically?
Is that some sort of trick question?
