It is called a manicure after all!
Mark Ribeiro II, a founding fitness instructor at Fithouse and former “American Ninja Warrior” contestant, has received a ton of compliments lately — on his nail art.
“A girl at the juice shop today said, ‘Oh, your nails are cute,’” Ribeiro, 34, tells The Post. “The women at work tell me my nail art is better than theirs.”
While iconic rock stars such as David Bowie and Mick Jagger started embracing color nail polish decades ago, a new generation of A-listers are bringing high-fashion nail looks to the mainstream: Singer Bad Bunny gets a manicure with black polish in his 2019 “Caro” music video and actor Ansel Elgort rocked a white nail look at last week’s Golden Globes.
The trend of men showing off their nail art has just begun to skyrocket, says Britney Tokyo, an LA-based celebrity nail artist. Her client roster (Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, FKA Twigs) now includes actor Luka Sabbat and heartthrob Harry Styles, whose fruit-themed nail art design, inspired by his “Fine Line” album and “Watermelon Sugar” single, went viral last month.
“Harry loves nail art,” Tokyo, who created the look, tells The Post. “He has long nail beds, and that means he can get more designs.”

Nail art in New York can start around $50 and go up to $500 depending on the polish type, number of nails and intricacy of the design. It’s also incredibly time-consuming, with some looks taking hours to complete.

The intersection of too much money, too much time, and too much social media preening.

Seriously? News? Anything about millennnial pukes or nail art belongs in the “Who Gives A Rat’s Rip” forum.
These will be the first to go when the SHTF.
Fagshionable.
I have to keep my nails short so as to get the dirt out from under them...….alas another missed opportunity.
You know, I can see solid and dark colors on guys that are goth and metal, that’s fine. I’ll even admit to using a clear coat “diamond” hardener on my nails, cause they are brittle, shred easily, and I work with stuff that damages nails. But fruity art? No Thank you.
I occasionally sport “nail art”.
When I hit my finger with a hammer by mistake and get a nice bruise under the nail.
It’s free and lasts a long time.
I guess I’m hip and didn’t know it.
Any youngins that don’t know what a hammer is, feel free to PM me and I’ll adult-splain it to you.
LOL!!!!!!
I started wrestling in elementary school. At any meet or tournament, every weigh-in was accompanied by a fingernail inspection to make sure one wouldn’t/couldn’t claw one’s opponent. I started trimming my nails as short as I could back then, and have done so every since. Anything longer than that, just doesn’t feel right.
Frivolous, expensive stuff like this wouldn’t exist, if life under President Trump were so bad, as liberals say.
I don’t recall stories like this, under Obama’s rotten economy, with over 9% unemployment.
But toxic mascukinity is what is driving the fashion consumerist driven global warming....
Nail Art,
Wonderful!
By their fingernails shall ye know them.

Anytime I see a man with long fingernails I know he doesn’t do much work.
