I HATE NAIL POLISH! Is it really a big turn on? Can unpolished nails decrease your attraction to a sexy woman? MEN OPINIONS ARE APPRECIATED?

Im a 23 years old girl, Im not a tomboy at all in case you are wondering, Im feminine, and I take care of my manners, skin, hair.. I just hate nail polish. It makes me angry. It doesn't dry fast, I don't have time to wait for about an hour at home for my nails to dry, and usually, the result is not good. Even at salons, the same problem. I know it is a big turn on for men.. do you really notice it first? I care about girls and guys opinions specially men above 26. Thank you :)

  • It's not a big deal. I'd rather a girl didn't wear it, so she's willing to take part in some of the things I like to do. But I like to take my girls fishing, shooting, camping, etc. Her being worried about chipping her nail polish will kill all the fun.

    If we're just hanging out in town, watching a movie or just chillin or whatever, sure, wear some, great. It's not a big thing for me.

  • I like nail polish but I don't wear it because it doesn't last, it's too bothersome to spend a lot of time in painting and drying to just get a mess in a few days or even hours :(
    Sometimes I use the transparent one. I care to keep my nails clean and cut. ;)

    Also, there's a joke here that says there are three birth control methods: pills, IUD and those silly stuff in nails (more likely: animal print).

    • haha.. exactly i feel the same happy to know im not the only one.

  • My boyfriend is turned on by French manicure. I do them for him once a while.
    Otherwise at home I use fast drying formula.2 min and I'm out the door. Essence and flormar nail polishes dries super fast if you want to try. I use one coat only.

    • essence is good yes. what colors do you use? i love french but it is accurate a bit. im thinking to do it with a shiner instead of light white color.

    • French takes tons of time to do but once a while it's fine. Sometimes I do stamped tips instead of drawing them. It's super fast! My favourite from essence is #12 mandarine bay But I'll stand in their isle forever to pick a new one every single time😁

  • There's like 60 second dry nail polish. It's not that hard. If you put a layer of glitter on top of the paint it will even hide all the mistakes you make.

    • what is this 60 s dry nail polish? can you post a pic?

    • Most low end brands sell quick dry formulas and expensive brands just dry quickly. Just look at the labels https://oi68.tinypic.com/9to9bt.jpg

    • Thank you! and you are so right about expensive and low cost brands! if you have ever heard of essence brand.. it is a low price brand but it dries quickly and last well..

  • I usually keep them natural. By natural, I use a nail file to keep them neat and buff. I use apricot oil to make the nails shiney.

    • OIL IS A GOOD IDEA. DOES IT LAST ON FINGERS?

    • It makes the nails stronger, and prettier!.

  • I hate nail polish too and always have. I think guys just prefer that you take care of your nails and they don't look like a mess. That doesn't mean they have to have nail polish on them.

  • Nail polish is one of those things that guys notice when you have it, never notice when you don't have it. It's not a big deal. It certainly isn't a turn on, it just looks nice sometimes. Don't worry about it

  • i have never painted my nails. I've never had problems attracting men.,

    • it also symbolizes being useless. most interesting activities will mess up polish.

    • i dressed up today with no nail polish. guys noticed me. but i was all the time thinking about how ugly my nails look and if a guy noticed my messed fingers it will ruin everything.. my nails are very short and some are longer than others:s may be i should stick to glossy shiny top coat. what do you do to attract men? :D

    • IT DEPENDS. I KNOW SOME VERY SPECIAL INTELLECTUAL LADIES WHO ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF THEIR NAILS. BUT PERSONALLY I DEAL WITH KIDS, I DO HOUSEWORK, I AM MAJORED IN POLITICS.. NO TIME AT ALL TO WAIT FOR NAILPOLISH I BARELY HAVE TIME TO PUT MAKEUP!

  • I could care less about nails... but I will say I notice well done and colorful ones. Something about imagining them running over my body- they do feel good...

    So its not a negative to have poor nails, but having them can be a plus.

    • YA EXACTLY.. CAN A SHINY TRANSPARENT NAILS HAVE THE SAME EFFECT RUNNING OVER YOUR BODY? I THINK WHEN A WOMAN'S HAND IS RUNNING OVER YOUR BODY YOU PROBABLY WILL BE LOOKING AT HER FACE RIGHT?

    • I'm not saying it actually feels better, it just makes me think about it. Lol

  • Amount of dates I've lost due to my lack of nail polish... said no girl EVER.

  • Men don't care about nail polish at all. It's a female thing, not something that attracts men. Men, however, do like soft hands that are well taken care of. So as long as you take care of your skin and keep your nails looking healthy, you're good.

  • I think a good manicure with a clear top coat looks best anyway.

  • I don't care too much about it, there is much more important things on a girl to notice.

  • I couldn't really care any less about it.

  • Huge turn on to me yes. Love nice hands and nails painted.

  • If you don't like nail polish, don't wear it. Yeah, I like it, but it's just not that important. There are plenty of guys who don't care at all, and plenty of guys who prefer natural unvarnished nails.

  • It does nothing for me, in fact I don't like women to have much make up, less is better, maybe lipstick and a light eyeliner if they feel better with that.

  • i'm kind of in the same boat as you... what annoys me is when the nail polish start coming off... >:( and i end up tossing away the nail polish pot

    • it is disgusting when your nails are half polished half unpolished or when you start removing the nailpolish with cotton and your fingers become red. i hate this.

    • me too >:(

    • Omg me too! I can't take it when I see people's nail polish all peeling. I always make sure mine isn't cracking and then I repaint over it.

  • Just keep your nails clean, healthy, and shaped. I hate polish because it chips too damn fast lol. If I get anything it's gel and I love my nails too much to do that to them too much

  • As a guy, I don't care about nail polish.

  • Nail polish I can take it or leave it. Nail polish is not on my sexy woman checklist.

  • I don't care about it enough to put it on a turn on/off list.

  • I hate nail polish too! i don't even paint my nail. If you don't like it don't wear em

  • Men don't really care about nail polish. It's a nice accessory but I doubt it makes you any less attractive to men without it.

  • I don't like nail polish either, it always ends up smeared on something.
