VERY few guys will notice though, if they do notice, even fewer will care unless it's a horrid color. I'd take a girl's nails painted or unpainted, it's no matter to me. I do sometimes notice though, when I do, I don't have an opinion about them one way or another. I don't have a favorite color but, if her nails have designs on them, it will prompt me to comment on them. Example: One of my female friends had her nails pained with classic 'Batman' fighting words such as "BAM!" and "POW!". Another friend had a zebra-like pattern painted on her nails.
As a guy, my top 5 favourite nail polish colours on girls are:
White, red, grey, sky blue, navy blue.
Some honourable mentions go to candy pink, black, coral, nude, lavender and dark brown.
Please no greens, yellows, oranges, neon colours, nail art/french manicures or acrylic nails.
You either had a nail obsessed girlfriend, or you're one special guy 😂
@asyouwereekt my exact thought!!
So funny you asked this, because I wondered this too. I read in a magazine that guts Gaye chipped nail polish (makes sense, because I think everyone hates chipped polish), but otherwise I don't listen to fashion magazine tips.
I haven't gotten negative feedback from my nail colors as far as I can remember. I sometimes wear this bright neon traffic-cone orange by ORLY and I got compliments on it from the male customers at work. But orange works on me because my skin tone is "warm." I won't dare try navy, jet black or gunmetal.
My baby likes Cajun Scrimp by OPI
He likes anything with sparkles
I have a color he likes it's called Haute Shine by sinful colors he calls it power ranger pink because it's about the color of Kimberly's outfit in the new Power Rangers movie that came out here recently. And his favorite color is red so he likes it when I wear red too.

Short clean nails look the best. If they are polished then a solid is classiest. No patterns, glittery stuff, or different colored nails... The colors that I like the most are generally pastels or some sort though I can't claim to actually know what the colors are called. lol Shades of pink, purple and/or blue seem to work well.

Most guys don't really notice unless it's something crazy. I kinda like it when girls wear nail polish. I'm fine with all kinds of colors. Red, black, neutral, pink, and purple. An important thing to add is the thing that makes it shine or appear kind of liquidy rather than dry. Oh, and avoid colors like gray, brown, light blue, and orange. I don't think those look any good.
oops. Sorry for the double post.

I know I'm the odd one out, I watch nail art videos when they come up on Facebook cause I think it's really cool. I can't say that there is ONE color I like since I think it looks coolest with patterns or designs but if I have to pick one it'd be Purple or Green I think.
All we see is that you're not satisfied with your own natural appearance and like to waste money on materials rather than boost your own confidence on a personable level.
Women see things and recognize it. We're too busy looking for any signal of interest or desire, such as a look, or words.
Most guys won't notice any details on your nails. The only exceptions are if the nails are overdone (several colors, patterns, drawings), and really ugly (too long, dirty, cracked, not taken care of). That would turn guys off. So, just keep them clean, not too long, and no guys will be turned off by them.
I personally like dark colors because they look classy and can go with anything and I like to hold on to one color for 2weeks..don't want to keep on changing..and yeah it's more convenient..at the moment I have a dark shade of green..like Christmas tree green
As long as she's naked - I don't think it matters at that point.
haha, definitely.
XD
Guys don't notice. But girls do. I love plain red nails, myself. So sexy.
I LOVE RED!
i dont mind at all. sometimes it does seem like its a good thing that the person is neat enough to have perfectly intact nail polish. but i would actually preffer black one, just because i remember a friend who bought one that was actually for protecting, it had the black color, and she was using it because her nails used to chip easily (and painfuly). guess that stuck to me.
I don't know about other guys but me personally... I like something bright (dark pink, purple, blue, sky blue etc.) ... I also love black... And ya most guys, including me, as far as i know, are not very fond of super long nails... 1-2mm less than the pic give would be great...
I paint my nails all the time. I usually go for the girly colors like pink and purple. On the odd time I go for blue. Everytime I paint my nails blue I get a compliment from my boyfriend or guy at work, or even a random stranger. So odd, i thought guys didn't even notice that shit.
OkImsorry, you are ridiculously gorgeous. Whoa.
thats funny, what shade of blue?
You are welcome! Thank you for being you @MissPanda!
I've always been a fan of the blank colour.
But let's be honest here, I doubt it's most guys
that gets attracted to you because of your hands.
But seeking to improve how you look is always good
but most of the times, it's how you carry yourself. ^.^
I know, that's somewhat what I said in the paragraph below my question :) And what do you mean "blank Color"?
Oooh, ok. Thanks for the input :)
Clear, is the best colour all around.
Though depending on the season, different colours
inhabits complimentary effects to the surroundings as well.
Spring and summer calls out to yellow and green
while fall and winter calls out to green, orange, blue and purple.
But there's much more in it, than just that
like if a certain colour suits your skintone
and your overall style/vibe.
The best thing to do, is to find your own style
and go with/hold on to that. ^.^
I'll only notice if the girl sticks out. It depends on the walls inside the building honestly. So if I'm in a building with dark blue walls I will notice brighter colors. It really doesn't matter to me though. I just consider it a typical girlie preparation for leaving the house.
They don't care at all about nail color, they will not notice if you change it drastically. They will however notice if your nails are way too long or if your nails look like a bit too much effort (rhinestones, drawings etc.). So if your nails are regular, they won't notice, I guarantee it.
The one color that turns me completely on and more is O.P.I.'s Lincoln Park After Dark. Plus, let me say that I have a major major fetish for pretty hands, nails, feet and toes. Yes! Guilty as charged !
On girls with a fairer skin tone, OPI's LP after dark makes me crazy. It is sexy as hell specially if the girl has nice hands and feet because I have a major thing for pretty hands and feet.
In light of what you aee a lot these days, pastel colors look nice but I am sure that fashion will go away eventually.
About not so fair akin tone... Hmmmm... Anything that goes well with the attire.
I find colored nails attractive because its very girlie and I am attracted to the girlie girl style.
I like darks as well as pastel colors and funky nail art like flowers. :)
Lol awe love this answer
My opinion is the best make-up jobs on girls are the ones that go almost unnoticed. As long as the color doesn't distract from the look I say you're good no matter what you do. Think of it as your appearance is a painting and your make up is the frame. A nice frame is a great compliment, but the frame can't distract from the art. I hope that makes sense.
I have to say... I don't really care too much.. I think I would maybe even prefer natural.. I don't like too much artificial stuff. Natural can be more beautiful, true and more stimulating than some strange stuff that make people seeming like aliens. Ahah :-)
Revlon Raven Red - one of the sexiest colors, and so simple.

i dk. I mean. depends on the type of girl you are. I know a lot of girly girls like to do theirs pink. my fav. color is red. so I'm always fond of mails that are red. and of course you can never go wrong with black. especially if your going with the ever resortful "little black dress"
what might be fun is try to something with the rainbow. or w/e, yeah I know not enough fingers. but I'm sure you could figure something out :D
nails that are*
youre going*
to do something*
I tend to appreciate darker colors that can match her eyes or her outfit. A girl that can match colors and make a really awesome outfit with little effort is usually very attractive to me. But nails are pretty much different for each girl so it's hard to say a specific color/type. In terms of a nice dinner I'd see some sort of dark red and then following that up with dark coloring in her over all look. Very sexy.
I work with the same finish nail polish is made of. I am always mixing custom colors. It is kind of fun to mix up little custom batches of nail polish for her. One woman used to get me to mix up colors to match certain things exactly.
Interesting!
from what I've seen, most guys prefer darker
colors rather than the bright counterpart
personally, my own favorite color
is purple or teal, but I'm sure he'd be
happy with anything you decide on ^.~
I like red a lot, but color doesn't matter to me much, although I DEFINITELY DO notice if a girl I know has done her nails or changed to a new color. This may be a given, but it's cute when it matches well with the makeup, outfit or both..
I honestly don't care since I'm not seeing her nails when they are digging in my back. Before that stage really it depends on lighting and what she's wearing. Red lipstick = red nails.
I prefer just a clear coat to make em shiny. But no color. Natural is always best for me. Makeup isn't much different. I prefer none or very very little makeup
I prefer clean, average length nails with no color on them. Feels more fresh.
It means zero to me. It's like asking me what color shirt I like to see on a girl. I guess a lot of people might think black is offensive or taboo.
I dont care what girls do with their nails. However sometimes I'll notice and think, "oh that looks nice". But overall you can do whatever you like with them.
Yes I do. I have a thing for nice hands and nails. I'm not fixated on color though as much as maybe length. But I like simple reds, pinks, neutrals and silvers.
I think most guys notice nail polish on girls. Personally i like it especially if the nail polish was chosen to correspond with something else (purse/shoes/makeup). In addition Patterns especially seasonal patterns are cute but everyone is diffrent.
I personally have my nails painted a blue sparlily polish at the moment (and yes i am a guy)

Way too bussy studying xD
Lol I have no idea why but black is always the most attractive to me! lol most things (how she dresses etc) I don't care about but for some odd reason black nail polish is ridiculously sexy to me
Thats true. I think black can have a sexy, edginess to it.
hands are very important to me, I can completely understand why you look at a girls hands. it says a lot about a person!
my boyfriend prefers neutral , earth tone colors while I like putting on brighter colors, esp during spring and summer so I sometimes do some mix and match with neutral and bright colors. I am not trying to advertise anything but you might be able to get some ideas from here :)

To be honest i don't really care about nails...
As long girls taking care of them it's good hahaha
I always have an trouble with choosing the right colour when they ask me hahahaha
Natural is the only one for me. I dislike the look of nail polish.
Yay im not alone lol
We are guys, We honestly couldn't care less about the color of your nails. If you want to do it then sure go ahead! but it won't make much of a difference to use.
some girls can rock anything. on myself i love white. looks good with my skin tone.
Not a big fan of the over the top glitzy ones. Other than that, pretty fine with whatever color your nails want to be.
I like the French manicure on girls. The more natural the look the better.
Yes, I do notice the nail color. It can even turn me off if I find it tasteless.
i pay a lot of attention to detail and yea I notice but most guys don't ill usually compliment if it looks nice and won't say anything/pretend I don't notice if it looks bad...
Pink, red or colorless/natural look the best
Anything else is a bad option, black nails look sorta creepy and blue/green/violet look too unnatural and 'poisonous'
Don't really notice. Just none of those gross, fake, long-ass nails.
No preference for color. However, I dislike long and/or artificial nails.
I'd make an exception for a French manicure. That usually looks really classy.
I like it all from bare to whatever but my favorite is black. I have no idea why but wow!
I notice but don't really have a preference as it it is more her self care. So for me if she cares about herself that is a good thing.
I definitely notice a girl's nails. Some well shaped, nicely colored and well-maintained nails enhance a girl's appearance.
We barely notice it or care a about it, the only reason why might give a fuck it is because we like the girl a lot, like really a looooooot
I don't like nailpolish, or claws at all. Especially claws. Trim your nails down to a practical size for fuck sake. Im dating a girl, nor an Eagle with razor sharp talons.
Girl here, but I think that color is slayingggg.
Jk. But seriously, I think that color looks gorgeous on your skin tone
French manicures and pedicures. Always and forever. It's all you need, easy... don't even have to think about it. Matches everything. 365 days a year!
If a guy cares about your nail polish, then there's a 100 percent chance that you're both into guys lol dudes don't care about your nails
My brother says a clear shinny coat looks best, then like white or black if your skin is tanner. That's what he says when I asked him
I like blue. I just like it, I don't think it means anything "deep". I just consider it a nice color, that's all.
I find bare nails the most interesting these days. As a teen I like wild colors on girls, but I've settled down!
Dark red or a neutral color would probably be your best option. Red is sexy, and neutral colors are more natural. General favourites amongst men.
I have a ton of nail polish but I always go for the RED! its my favorite - very classy and sophisticated, sexy and wild lol
