So, what do we make of the man polish from Evolution Man? Indashio Black is a matte metallic with gold flecks aimed at spicing up the talons of your average guy. I just dare not mention it to Mr BBB.
But I do think I know of someone who’d love it…. 😉

I’d really be very unhappy if a guy I was dating showed up in nail varnish. I think I’m too old for being open minded and down with the cool kids; men in make-up of any kind just won’t work for me xx
Hmm I am not sure about it on men, but I wouldnt mind this polish in my stash it looks really cool and interesting 🙂 x
I have absolutely NO interest in wearing nailpolish. Even if it’s ‘for men’..
A clear top coat to protect my nails from the beating they get from playing guitar, is just about all I allow for myself.
Black perhaps on gothic people/emo kids but I find that strange too..
Wonder who their market for this is?
I do not like guys who wear nail polish. Ugh. Call me old fashioned, but make up belongs on women, of course with certain exceptions like theatre, performing arts, etc.
I put nail varnish on my boyfriend all the time ^_^ I couldn’t care less if a man was wearing polish… in fact I’d probably like him more because I’d think he was open minded and didn’t care about what men are ‘supposed’ to do. Gender roles aren’t really my thing… I like people for who they are, not what’s between their legs. I think it’s funny that it’s a ‘man’ polish though… surely if a man wanted to wear nail polish he’d just buy regular nail polish… he wouldn’t need to get special ‘man’ nail polish.. it’s not like men have special men nails or anything… we’re all made out of the same stuff 🙂
What about ManGlaze?

Personally if my boyfriend (theoretical boyfriend!) turned up wearing this, I would be somewhat unnerved! It’s not that I’m anti-makeup on men, there are some men who look stunning with a bit of guyliner, but it just isn’t something that any bloke I’d be attracted to would wear. Except for a costume party!
And yet, if a man said he hated nail varnish on a woman, you’d be jumping to defend why you wear it.
Funnily enough, men who do wear nail varnish and make up don’t wear it to attract women just as we women supposedly do not wear make up to attract men. They wear it because it makes them feel good.
Also, any man who has the gumption to stand up and shamelessly go out with his nails done and a bit of slap on is blooming awesome.
Two words. Johnny Depp. Yum. (Actually that’s three words).
On the right bloke (which is a man who wears it confidently) I’m all for it!
Another No vote here. Skin care, yes. Hair care, yes. Cosmetics, no. Not unless he’s professionally obliged to wear it. But then I never did take to the metrosexual male thing.
My husband wouldn’t touch it (or any nail varnish) if his life depended on it, but I quite like it! I think that women will contribute to its sales numbers.

I was recently drawn to having painted nails as an unexpected result of a FaceBook prank with my wife. I first painted up for the joke back in Dec ’11 and have never looked back.
The aforementioned 3 ladies have it right. I’m keeping the color because I like it personally. The fact that my wife also enjoys it and that it has endeared me as a “BAMF” to a bevy of 20 something ladies at my 50+ is not a bad result either. They think it cool in doing what I want.
One can sport a Johnny Depp swagger without ever veering close to MetroSexual. They are mutually exclusive in mentality and practice, even though they may have a wee degree of commonality.
So, let me see if I have this straight… if I want to wear color, it’s perfectly fine, as long as somebody jabs it into my skin with a tattoo needle. But if I merely apply some paint to my nails, it’s the end of the world and I’m some kind of freak? IT’S REALLY JUST PAINT!
To the naysayers above: Really? Don’t you have better things to do in your life than to promote prejudice and intolerance against strangers? Maybe you could take a cue from Dr. King… judge people not for the color of their [nails], but by the content of their character! That’s what I do, and judging by what you’ve said above, you have a serious deficit of character!
