In 2015 I first wore nail polish as part of my halloween costume. I went to the party with painted nails and it went pretty well, it was fun. Due to the positive reactions I kept wearing it and even bought my own paint, first only white, no 'girlish' colors, later pink and purple my favorite colors until one of my first dates sent me a screenshot of an instagram post on which I wore nail polish and smiling emojis. I was quite obsessed with this guy at the time, and stopped wearing nail polish.
Strangely enough, everything feminine in a man also evokes negative reactions in gay men, while you would actually expect that they would be liberated from hetero-normative social norms.
In my teenage years I even became scared of color altogether. Scared of standing out too much, looking too joyful, being too “girly”.
