I started to paint my nails and love it!!!! The OPI base coat is amazing! I keep practicing and I'm still not 100% with the results but I'm getting there. I'm gonna have to get one of those UV lamps because sometimes when I apply the top coat it removes the color nail polish and I must start over 😢
I just swatched few of my polishes on my manfriends nails and these are the ones he liked: 1) Essie Expressie What the Tech 2) Essence Black is Back 3) Essence City of Stars 4) Essie Wicked 5) OPI Nice Set of Pipes I would really like to have a part 3 of this series! 😉😁 Happy new year to both of you!
Great choices and video. I've been using gel for the past couple years now and Russian Navy has been one of my favorites. It always looked more blue when on the nail vs in the bottle to me. That said, OPI's Midnight Mantra is my new favorite blue, check it out.
Hello Ronald! The gel polish version of Russian Navy is a little different and if my memory serves me right it is bit more blue :) Thank you for your kind words :)
I didn't realize how gorgeous Russian Navy is! Once again, you're making me spend my money on nail polish, going to head out this weekend and buy it! Great video as always!
Another great video, Thanks guys! The colors are just perfection for either sex. I have a pet peeve which is not directed at you 😍yet may effects purchase choice. Essence and Catrice both great budget friendly lines (Good brushes as well) have to be purchased online in the US. This is ok but they wind up costing more than the "better" brands that can easily found. Also, I never saw "Russian Navy" matte but will try now that I saw it swatched. Part 3 will be very welcome💙
Love this video and LOVE that you have videos suggesting polishes for men! I have the Sally Hansen Big matte top coat and I experienced bleeding onto the brush before I finally put it away and moved on to the Essie matte. Thanks for starting out my day with another great vid, guys! 💜 P.S. At the end I just imagined Mr. Salon Life waving the Jedi hand mind control and saying, "This is not the matte top coat you are looking for..." 🤫
to people who think men shouldn’t paint their nails because it’s for women: 1. explain what makes something for women 2. With that reason, explain how that would make it a bad thing if men wore it. you can be creeped out by anything you want, but i just want to hear logic here.
You mentioned changing the brush for OPI Russian Navy, but I didn’t see the link. Did I miss it? I’m a new follower from the US and I love your videos. Thanks!
I think it’s a matter of tradition. Some people say that polish is traditionally used by women so it makes guys look (too?) feminine. It’s like skirt. It’s just a fabric. But it’s not really popular look among the man. Unless you are Scottish :) We are all entitled to our likes and opinions. I think otherwise but I won’t force my belief or preference on others. I think the world would be a better place if people were a little less judgemental. I’m not saying that everyone has to agree with me but let me be :) Also I think the world would be boring if everyone looked the same and had exactly the same opinions.

Yes but not all guys think the same and some asked me to do a video with colors guys would enjoy wearing so that’s why I did it. Guys have a right to have favourite colors too :)
@@TheSalonLife I applaud your video but my original comment stands. The title comes across such that there are only certain colours men are 'allowed'. i'm a guy, I enjoy colour - all colour. non are out of bounds or unacceptable.
@@mixedfeelingsaboutturning1910 Oh, bounce houses are such a tired argument that for some reason keeps on popping on male nail polish videos, as if it actually made any sense to do such a comparison...
Same issue with women and men. Please clean off old chipped polish and redo it. It's esthetically yuck to look at chipped, peeling nail polish especially in the work arena.
Can’t wait to get my nails painted I’m going with black for the first time but blue and green are dope too
I sure hope us males wearing polish would become a norm. I dont understand why some consider it as taboo.
Personally like zoya sage.
My husband wears polish.
@@jeanettemarkley7299 l may start back painting mine
Definitely going to try the Russian navy from OPI i like the color shifting it has depth to it
I love these colors I’ve been wanting to venture more I’ve been rockin with black or white various brands and I’m over it.
I love that you added matte top coat to all of them. Russian Navy looks amazing both ways, and probably on just about anyone. Good variety of brands!

Yes more man polish . Great man skittle!
Essie expressie binge-worthy ❤
OPI Russian Navy is a true classic 🦋
I just swatched few of my polishes on my manfriends nails and these are the ones he liked:
1) Essie Expressie What the Tech
2) Essence Black is Back
3) Essence City of Stars
4) Essie Wicked
5) OPI Nice Set of Pipes

Oh wow the zoya green is very good for fall and winter~! Love that!
So many great colors! Love the Zoya 💚

I love Sally Hansen’s Grayfitti. I really like the dark gray on first hand.
i rly like that Blue perl efect polish ., my favorit collor Blue perl
Those bloopers are hilarious 😂
I honestly cried when I was editing the video... 😂
Love your videos. Please do a Part 3 or provide a link. Thank you.
You should try ILNP in the shade eclipse i think you would both like it but also very guy friendly
Love this video and LOVE that you have videos suggesting polishes for men! I have the Sally Hansen Big matte top coat and I experienced bleeding onto the brush before I finally put it away and moved on to the Essie matte. Thanks for starting out my day with another great vid, guys! 💜

Hi Sara! I have to try Essie Matte! Thank you for suggesting it!
He's got great taste! Cheers! 🙂

Thanks for this, it's hard to wear nail polish without being called gay😂
This really helps
Black is always a mans colour 👍

Hi Jonni! Thank you for reminding me!
Here are the brushes: www.kbshimmer.com/replacement-nail-polish-brush/
I only do black and red maybe blue
To the people who think men can't wear nail polish because it's gay:
Explain how wearing paint changes sexuality

That blue Essie Surrounded by Studs looks close to the new Nature strong OPI blue one.
The Essie is much darker….
@@TheSalonLife Ahhh. They are both nice ☺️
Awwww man i missed it!!!! I wanted to see this live but my work schedule 😩
Loved it!!!!!
great video! fun editing
& grey🔥🔥
1. Caprice 112
2. Hang up the heels
We have the same taste in polish. I have to keep pausing the video to order these shades.
Love the colors. ..💜💜💜💜
I like grey u knw.. I'll try only on a finger..😬
Please do a video with swatches from the non toxic brands!
The non toxic is a marketing term, all polishes are non toxic when used as directed so applied on the nails. You should definitely not drink them. ;)

Matte is the only way for us guys
Hi
'Nail polish shades for guys'
that would be all of them then. colours don't have gender.
Yes but not all guys think the same and some asked me to do a video with colors guys would enjoy wearing so that’s why I did it. Guys have a right to have favourite colors too :)

When there's companies selling men's nail polish. You can't validly argue that it's soley a "female" thing anymore
I guess bounce houses are plastic that doesn't have an age then. By your logic

I don't like this video, feels so passionless
