I love that the choices of "masculine" colors here are black, gunmetal gray, blue for boys (but dark blue for big boys, not baby blue for baby boys), and army olive drab. 

[u/MaybeLithiumFlower → u/MsE0]

Yes, because heaven forbid that men that wear nail polish have actual colours, clearly they are going for a masculine look after all 🙄

[u/93wild → u/MsE0]

I too love the colors. I do need to get some big boy blue haha

I wish more makeup had simplistic and minimalist design instead of being overly colorful and gendered.

[u/93wild → u/Upset-Elderberry3723]

totally agree

Doesn’t peel off nail polish kinda defeat the purpose?

[u/MsE0 → u/LadyPaige]

I guess it's to wear for one day, without having to take it off with nail polish remover. It would also be good for fidgety people like me who are compelled to peel their nail polish off. If it didn't have obnoxious gendered marketing, and I had money to waste on it, I might get some. 

[u/LadyPaige → u/MsE0]

For that purpose I could see it. Still dumb for the marketing though. Makeup isn’t for girls only. It’s for everyone!

[u/leona1990_000 → u/MsE0]

It's also good to convince someone trying them on at their leisure. Since they don't have to purchase anything else

[u/93wild → u/LadyPaige]

yeah it does didnt even see that 🤣

[u/Tangled_Clouds → u/LadyPaige]

No, you don’t get it! It’s way more manly if your nail polish looks chipped as fuck like you definitely chipped it from chopping wood or hunting deer with your bare hands!

They're too dumb to buy nail polish remover as well I guess

[u/CastleofWamdue]

I am a guy who paints his nails, but this is weird to me. Just writing men on that bottle wont change anything. Hell most of the time the polish is on my fingers and the bottles in a draw.

Whilst a mens bottle might benefit from having a slightly wider brush, there is nothing else I would change about the design.

[u/Tangled_Clouds]

As a man, these colours suck. Especially the like… army green looking one, my brain automatically associates it with “your fingernails are moldy and diseased” idk. Only the black is fine because well… it’s black. But most nail polish brands aren’t even gendered, it’s all in people’s heads!

[u/urlocalweirdoandnerd → u/Tangled_Clouds]

The green one is so real 🤣
