Men Who Paint Their Toenails


Man with toenail polish


Homo Escapeons left a comment in my “sandals and socks” posting stating that men are doing ladies a great service by hiding their bare feet. Homo goes on to say, “We don’t decorate our toes.”

I have news for you, Homo. Men do decorate their toes. Take a look at these photos of men who polish their toenails.

  1. I sit corrected.

    I must confess that I have had my toes 'done' (tequila was involved) and that it was oddly liberating.
    I knew the second that I clicked publish comment that someone (probably you)would prove me wrong.
    In the words of Chris Farley "I'm such an IDIOT!"

    but most men do have gross feet and don't paint their toes..

  2. Homo: Tequila is always to blame, isn't it? :)

  3. i've also done the "ok, I'll let the hawt, drunk chick paint my toe nails" before too...i think it was Rum's day to shine that time. It was all in an effort to get in her pants of course...Ah the halcion days of yore

  4. Pamer: With the right hawt drunk chick and a bottle of rum you'd do it again though, wouldn't you?

  5. we have a gentleman that buys nail polish from us at work .....he paints his trainers with it haa haa the trainers are all the colours of the rainbow hmmmmmm

  6. Midget Arse: Paints his trainers with it indeed. We all know what he's really doing with it. Why do I think it might be either Piggy or Tazzy who buys the nail polish from you at work? Right...because you said it's a "gentleman."
    *snicker*

  7. That picture is really gross mj.

    Are you trying to torture me? Men with long fingernails, black nailpolish on gross man toes, men with socks AND sandals! Geesh!

    It sounds like I hate men but I really don't.

  8. D. Prince: Do you have a specific male body part that you'd prefer to see here?

  9. Aww crap-I have two boys. I let them paint their toes. I prefer blue or clear, b/c orange can almost look too 'pink'. Am I doing them a disservice-Oooh, do I really want to know what you guys think of that question?

  10. ~D: I used to take a friend's little boys out on excursions and we'd always do goofy things. They asked to try my lipstick and paint their nails. Of course I obliged. I caught royal hell for doing it from their mother. Nonetheless, I think it's harmless fun. It's only when their friends tease them that it can be a problem.

  11. I have absolutely no problem with boy toenail painting. It's men toenail painting that bug me.

    MJ: As for your question, I'll let you know.

  12. Men who paint their toenails have something wrong them them.

    Their heads, that is - not their toenails.

    There's something very creepy about men who do such things. Poofs or otherwise.

  13. Piggy & Tazzy: Me thinks thou doth protest too much.
    *returns to Poofter Cam to examine P&T's toenails*

  14. Toes and toenails are vile at the best of times nevermind being slathered in nail polish.

    Eeeewwww.

  16. I want to see some male bums. unclothed please. Let me be specific, nice looking butts! Otherwise I know you will find some horors!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think it is quite sexy and appealing...in a sick and grotesque way.

    *goes to wash mouth out*

  18. Inexplicable & Maddie: We'll move North on to other body parts then, shall we?

    Prunella: Horrors? Or whores?

    Xtasy: Do you still feel dirty?

  20. prunella jones you are the voice of reason in this wasteland of toenails, truly. another vote for nice bottoms, unclothed male bottoms, no lint, no dingledaggies, no starfishies, just nice 2-scoopers. and maybe a hine-view of their dangly bits.

  21. First Nations: I have that site bookmarked. My fave photo is the dude in red high heels with extraordinarily long painted toenails. I really don't think my readers would forgive me for posting that one, do you?

  22. That is one of the scariest male feet photos I've ever seen. What nail fungus is he covering up that caused his left big toenail to be so mal-formed. Is he pruny from being in the water, or is his hide really that ropey/veiny? Ick. I'll never get to sleep tonight. That picture is like birth control. Ugly-ass sandals and uglier feet.

  23. oh i love men who paint their nails, but i do think black was the wrong shade for this pasty lad. and really he needs to aim his brush a little more accurately.

  24. I have been painting my toes for a couple of years now. I like the look and I have great looking toes and feet. I take good care of them I am also straight and still find the painting looks good on good toes. Some guys are better hiding those feet!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Mytoes: You should definitely show those toes!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I do show them. Look at my blog and see all the colors!

  29. Thanks. Men are put into a box by society and told what to do , how to dress, how to look. Is a painted toe nail or two going to really upset the balance of society? Come on it's for fun. I find that they look better and I take better care of my feet. I only have two! I also paint them for a very special reason. They are a reminder to me how fragile life can be.

  30. I love the celeb toes that are painted. I think they look great with sandles and jeans or being dressed up! Some guys have nice feet...others don't. If you have it flaunt it...right?

  31. i paint mine fairly often. usually black blue silver green or white. I dont think its gay at all but I do think if men are going to paint their nails, they should have nice looking feet. luckily I do. :)

  32. http://www.myspace.com/futuresoulmusic

    theres a pic or two on my photo page of my painted nails.

    and to the naysayers, for me personally, i get twice the compliments as I do ridicule for them.

  33. J: I can't log on to MySpace to see your pics. Would you mind emailing them to me? My email address is in my Blogger Profile.

    And for the record, I like painted nails on men although I can't speak for anyone else on here.

  35. Thanks for this article.

  36. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. In history men wore makeup and dresses before women. I have no problem with men painting their nails (hands or feet)

  37. I have been painting my toes for a long time now i think if done right i can look very good. lets face it men dont always have the best feet and toes to start with so any improvement must be a good thing!!

  39. I am 49 and enjoy painting my toes, when wearing sandles most people do not notice, but when they do I usually get a smile. I like sally hansen "in the navy". Inside it looks black but in the sunlight it is dark blue

  40. I'm happily married to a wonderfully fun and open-minded gal who actually got me into this about four years ago. I had always admired her perfect nails, and one day when she was painting her toenails, she noticed my interest and suggested that I try it. I was instantly hooked!

    I now wear my toenails painted 24X7 and when someone approaches me about it, I tell them that my wife introduced me to it and now we both love it!

    Here is a link to my pics in case you are curious: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toepaintguy/

    I would encourage any guy considerig this to just do it! Check out this blog on a guy who tried this: http://polishaddict.com/2008/11/18/confessions-of-a-polish-addict-i-personally-dont-care-for-pedis/

    It's awesome, you will never regret it!

  41. It's good to see men are painting their toes without fear. This means guys are paying attention to their feet and that's good. Some of us have nice looking feet to begin with and those that have troll feet will look better with a little paint. Try it , it's fun.

  42. I am male and my nail colour changes almost 3 times a week. To fuck with people who say no to it. I usually paint them pink or red. Sometimes purple. I am not gay! I have a girl friend who I have been going out with for a year 1/2. Ella is yet to say don't do that. We paint each others nails.
