Nails for Males

Anyone have some lines that can be used for men? Looking for I guess a low gloss clear that is better. Amazing there are not more choices. Maybe there is a better way to buff them out.

I think Jennifer has it right. Take a closer look at the catalogs. Some of the polishes are either made for men or will have a comment about using on men.
A lot more choices around these days. Another important part is how the nails are buffed. You really need to stay away from any shine so don't do a full buff. Stop a grade or 2 higher to get that flat look

You guys were right I looked into both those lines and they have a couple that will work. It is all about the color and shine or lack thereof

Natural 10 Beauty, Inc. makes a product called Nail Shine with FLuoride. It is a non-lacquer based product that gives the nails a smooth appearance versus a glossy appearance. It also containes Fluoride which strengthens the nails just as it does teeth.

Have had great results with the OPI line. The hardest bit is making sure there is no glossy finish.

A tech suggested color for mine and I took her up on it. Purple! I can't believe it, but I really like having my toes painted. Wife thought I was crazy, but let me keep it on. If you have never done it , try it. In 42 years I have never looked straight down to see painted toes.lol

Essie makes a product called Man-E-Cure that's aimed specifically at men. CND Super Matte Top Coat is another product that creates a matte finish on any color. You can find them both online at

I would not mind a mani/pedi honestly but I could never go for a polish. Do many men add that?
