Yep, I can not believe it either. No cause Johnny Depp but because a man is wearing nail polish. But this remind me that men where the first ones to paint their nails. In 3000 bc on the Egyptian and Romans culture military commanders stain their nails and lips in matching colors before important battles. Yes for battle no for cosmetic or beautifying purposes. So why is so weird for us that men use nail polish in this times since it was their idea from the beginning.
Nail polish is very related to men. Is made some of the same components from car paint (and they love cars), the creator of the first nail polish was Charles Revson (Owner of Revlon brand), the creator of French manicures was Jeff Pink (I love Pink), come one again, why is so weird for us seen a men wearing nail polish.
There you have it. It look cool, it looks manly and messy just like must of men.

As a man who wears nail polish (6 months on my toes, 2 months on my hands), I've found that people are opposed to my polish in proportion to their own insecurity and fear of standing out from the herd of "sheeple". In other words, those who worry about what others would think of them, who derive their "self"-esteem from the admiration of others and who strive always to conform to the APPARENT consensus by doing what they see everyone else doing - those are the people who disapprove of nail color on men. 30 years ago, they were also the people who disapproved of tattoos on women, and 100 years ago they disapproved of women voting, owning land, holding a job, running for public office, driving a car or wearing pants.
Nail color IS JUST PAINT. The only thing that makes it "bad" for men to wear it, is society's intolerance and prejudice.
But, as a man wearing nail color, I am PLEASED to report that there aren't nearly as many people opposed to it as one might guess - I've been criticized maybe 3 times in 6 months, and complimented 100 times - the idea that "everybody opposes this" is an ASSUMPTION.
