Hey, I'm a 16 year old guy. When I'm home alone I like to paint my nails, including my toes. I painted my nails a coral color today, I took off of fingers but left my toes painted, since nobody would see my toes. I love having my nails painted. I am not gay or anything, I just like having my nails painted. Is this bad?

Nail laquer has been a fashion statement for thousands of years in many cultures. In some, only men painted, in some only women, in some, it depicted a class status, rather like long fingernails.

"The practice of adding color to fingernails appears to have begun with the Chinese and Eqyptians around 3000 B.C. The Chinese used a colored lacquer, made from a combination of gum arabic, egg whites, gelatin and beeswax. [1] Another product used by them consisted of mashed petals of roses, orchids and impatiens combined with alum. (Applying this mixture to nails for a few hours or overnight leaves a color ranging from pink to red.) The Egyptians used stains to color their nails as well as the tips of their fingers. The stain they used was a reddish-brown dye derived from the henna plant. Today, some people still use henna dyes to draw intricate, temporary tattoo-like designs on their hands knowns as Mehndi....
The color (and condition) of a person’s nails has long been an indication of social status. Because common laborers worked with their hands, having a finely manicured set of nails was not only impractical for them; it was an extravagance they couldn’t afford. Thus, only wealthy aristocrats from ancient times were seen with finely trimmed and decorated nails. During the Chou Dynasty of 600 B.C., the colors chosen by Chinese royalty to enhance their nails was gold and silver. In a fifteenth-century Ming manuscript, red and black are said to be the colors royalty had been choosing for centuries as their colors. Among the Egyptians, too, nail color came to signify social order, with shades of red at the top. Queen Nefertiti, wife of the heretic king Ikhnaton, colored her finger and toe nails ruby red and Cleopatra favored a deep rust red. Women of lower rank who colored their nails were permitted only pale hues, and no woman dared to flaunt the color worn by the queen - or king, for Egyptian men, too, sported painted nails" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_polish

You are in keeping with an eons-old tradition that emphasises personal care, art, taste, and makes an individual statement. The same as tattooing, make up, or personal body art of any kind. "That's what men say when discussing why they wear nail polish. "I can't explain, it's fun," says Joe, who has a blue thumbnail." http://www.pbs.org/newshour/infocus/fashion/namegame.html

Just For Men: Gothic Guide to Nail Care
"Men's nails generally grow faster than women's nails and tend to be stronger. However, their increased surface area makes them prone to trauma from bumps and bangs. Wider nails often need more coats of polish and a longer time to dry as well as making it harder to keep the polish spread smoothly on the nail surface....
Apart from a 20 minute weekly self-manicure, there is not much else needed apart from an almost daily application of clear polish to keep the nail protected. You may also want to use hand lotion once a day to help keep the cuticles soft and the nails flexible… of course most men use some sort of lotion or lubricant on a somewhat regular basis so that may not be a problem... at least for one hand. (What, you think the rest of the world doesn't know???)"

"Men, Exercise Sandals and Nail Polish"
"I just started wairing nail polish on my toenails last year; usually I do blue, silver, or gold. No one has really even noticed, though I do wear open sandals or even thongs where the nails are very visible. Only comment I got was from a professional manicurist who wanted to take a look; I was in a hurry and had no time to show her, nor was I interested in her services.

It has nothing to do with any sort of sexual perferences, unless you need it to 'turn you on'....

No. I think it's cute. If you were gay it would be different but as long as you're not I don't think it's bad at all.
