Celebrities like Bad Bunny, Harry Styles and A$AP Rocky are inspiring men to paint their nails. Why 2020 is the year of the malepolish.

IN LATE SEPTEMBER, the ever-giddy rapper Lil Yachty took to TikTok to flaunt his freshly painted fingernails—each talon its own meticulous canvas.

On his right hand, two nails were embellished with, respectively, a cow pattern and an image of the earth, while his pointer displayed an approximation of the album cover for Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.” On his left hand, his nails showcased a cutesy panda, the BMW logo and a petrified looking snowman.

Not real men they aren't. Just the soy boys. 👍

No it's not.

Yeah ok

Wtf?!?!

Next thing you see, men putting on pantyhose and lipstick

MEN are not wearing it

Because we live in the dumbest timeline?

Men? Lol. Naw. More like clowns. The dumb poppycock nonsense media choose to focus on is indicative of the state of America.

simplybenlogica is an influence, for sure

There is only 1 type of male that paints his nails in prison. Don't be that guy.

Ugh... soyboys and beta males.

No, no, no nooooooo.

i could throw up. this is the wall street fucking journal act like it

This reply section is what's wrong with the world

I’ve never heard of any of those ladies.

Not happening.

No they’re not

The king has no clothes....but really nice nail polish.

No thanks. Im good

Lol no

not real men

Name changes incoming Sweet Bunny, Merry Styles and A$AP Smoothie.

The gays are coming out faster

No, they're not.

Maybe they’re talking about biological women who identify as males.

Blue pilled soyboys raised by single mothers. When interviewing - response - NEXT!!!

Why do men want to be women

Kid cudi did first idc

Not this man, plus I have no idea who bad bunny, Harry styles, or ASAP rocky are. Maybe that’s why I don’t feel compelled to paint my nails.

Only woman and Man who do t thing they are men do this!

All day

No they’re not

Either crossdress or don't do it. This is stupid.

Eeeeewwww.

Not on my watch.

Who?

That is a real core problem of the society. The distraction is starting from the core. Will they become LGBTQ? Whatever they think they are, if they escape the core of responsibility , they will make the destruction of the society.

No they're not

FrasierSein

This is stupid. No man should be painting their nails.

FAKE NEWS. 99,99999% of men won't do it. Celebrities at the service of the elite and garbage media won't change that.

Not my thing really even if celebs/entertainers do it.

no it isn't

And those same men vote for JoeBiden

Nail polish? Y'all are pikers.

I won't be scratching my balls with painted nails any time soon. Sorry to disappoint. Who come up with this shit anyway ?

Negative

.imseanavery was way ahead of this trend - here he is, after whipping Darcy Tucker’s ass:

Yeah.... no.... not happening

same claims were made about baking face powder a few years back

no 👎👎 Fine for rock stars but ridiculous on regular guys Come On, man😆

Boys... not Men

Literally just did it cuz I saw ASAP rocky had it

If you are a real man, you should not copy from women.

1st I don't know any of them 2nd I read though all the comments post in the last 15 minutes and I think they are failing Final, I would rate this article -1

Men?

lol only if you are a WSJ temp.

Yuck!

Never heard of any of them.

Ok

Umm... No.

SOY INFUSED MEN.

.

The toxic masculinity in the comments is telling. How many of these naysayers are also buying tights but calling them baselayers or compression just to protect their fragile egos?

So what? Just respect everyone's opinion and choice. It's not your business anyways.

That was sooo 2014

Feel free to do what you like guys, just a little info for ya, no women anywhere finds this attractive

As the black judge on AmericanIdol used to say... “That’s gonna be a ‘No’ for me dawg.”

No

They aren’t inspiring anyone.

Let me go to the lake and see the guys at the marina see me cleaning crappie with painted nails.

No they are not

When you say “men” ... ? ...

You can go straight to hell with that trend! WTF?

Make up, nail polish, what next high heels 😝👠

Celebrities like Bad Bunny....

I cant wait for my 8 year old to ask me to buy him nail polish...:will be a proud day as a father....I of course will ask him if he wants me to ad a Butt Plug to the order so he can thoroughly build towards being a flamer by adulthood

I don’t think only women are allowed to do it, I think it’s an accessory like jewelry. I don’t like wearing jewelry except maybe a watch these days. So I’ll pass on this one. But whoever does paint their nails it doesn’t make you any less of a man. Don’t let anyone say different.

Like actors wearing dresses? I wouldn't say it is 'taking off'.

You're either gay or 19 if you're doing that.

Some guys like to express themselves through traditionally feminine ways. It can be a fun mind trip. Let me help you.

Great one more thing for people to waste money on and Blame the government because they’re broke.

Never heard of any of them

Lol “men”

🗑

Why ever

Dudes have been painting their nails for longer than these dudes have been alive. Foh.

I am not inspired

Yeah they’re inspiring gay men

More winning.

WaltJohnson85 Lemme find out you have a clear coat 😂😂😂😭😭

No. No they’re not

No

don’t encourage them

JEFFHARDYBRAND did it first paintnails

These Celebes are compromised

This feels like a trick...

nobody's interested in that

what article garbage. 💩

Nope

Yeah not happening

Gross.

No they are not.

Bunch of fruit loops.

How about chuck liddell.

Maybe Gay.

Yall need to go interview real hard working people. This is what the youth look up and I dont think this the definition of men clearly boys that got rich and didnt reach a level of maturity cant believe I'm seeing this on the WSJ. Rich people that I guess want 2 'improve' looks😒

WHAT IS GOING TO BE NEXT.... WOMEN UNDERWEAR AND SANITARY PADS ?

Lies!

No, they are not.

Why not eyelid piercing? Makes as much sense.

Disgusting

Celebrities.......🙄

Hahahaha. No.

Real men says No!

No thanks, never gonna happen with me

I don't care, I'm NOT painting mine!

No they aren’t.

As much as ppl can do what they want, this won’t catch on. Maybe for a select few... But generally us men, instinctively, don’t like wasting time on this kinda shit.

pass

Not this man

Not my kind of society anymore.

that won't help to settle neither enrichment nor hypersound problems

Wtf 🤦🏻‍♂️

Any man that gets inspiration from them surely has emotional and psychological issues.

🥱🙄

Did this tweet get the okay before posting this gay shit? What are you GQ?

FentonJagdeo 💪💪💪🙌🙌🙌

No they’re not

I want Conan.

No, they're not.

There goes the men folk.

Umm...no

Pathetic how they are contributing to the emasculation of me in America.

False.

Carrot Top RealCarrotTop did it 1st & best! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 🌈 🌈🌈

Nail polish ? I cannot even find my nail cutter.😂

NO. Possible exception if any - black nail polish.

Because they don't do manual labor

No their not

BS you saw one guy that was in their band and you had nothing elose to write about. Stop trying so hard.

Yeah, no thanks.

Inspiring men Probably u meant TEENAGERS. Y wd men paint nails and go to work🤦‍♂️

YOU are trying to normalize or you wouldn't waste space on this WSJ. Truly sad.

Should women be worried?

Its 2020

ok

I was with these guys when they started preaching about waxing and wearing women’s lingerie, but this is way too far. It’s a little creepy to be honest. I am sure the painted nails will go down well in the next public toilet I walk into. Not.

Pawns for the plastic industry

Your trying to normalise the abnormal FOH

no.

Monkey see, monkey do.

If any man walked up to me with painted nails and not all black for artistic reasons, I’m just walking away. No words just walk away.

Who?

Sincerely, I don’t like it... I can accept a transparent polish in particular situations, but not for personal aesthetic. Anyway, if you want do that, do it!

Perhaps men are leaning toward the category of metrosexuals more today than ever. Or perhaps, men are doing it to attract a certain category of females. Don't some men today wear makeup, do their eyebrows, and other things traditionally done by females?

'inspiring men to paint their nails', said literally no one.

Nope
