    Lately I’ve thought about wearing nail polish. Other guys I see wear it look really cute to me. I’m curious if it would make me feel the same way about myself, but I’m also concerned it would come off in a stereotypical way. Does anyone have tips for how I could prevent this from happening?

    When I first started trying to wear polish while still presenting male I got one that matched my skin tone. Clear polish is also an option that is less obvious.

    I think it's getting more and more the norm for males to wear nail varnish nowadays, even if they identify as straight (or aren't 'out') so I'd say embrace it but I get why you're a bit nervous. Like @QuietPeace suggested maybe go with a neutral skin tone colour to start off?
