Men’s nail polish hitting the market place.


Men’s nail polish we often think is out of the question, but is starting to show up in kick boxing and martial arts, to cover up banged up nails. Its started with Former Ultimate Fighting Championship star Chuck Liddell, he started to sport a pink polish during fights. He said that it would occasionally help him chat up women, along with seeing polish on famous actors. AS a retired fighter, he started his own cosmetic line, which included polish paint that were named “manly colors” Such as “burnin rubber” and “gasoline”.  His website he says is way over the top, pointing out that it’s just for males. After he saw his sales increasing to males that aren't into fighting and don’t have ruined nails, “just looking for a bit of flare” he softened his marketing approach. The company sells about 400 pens a month.  Female nail polish industry is still at an all time high, but because of the flexibility of social norms, male nail polish is being accepted into the market. In the years past It was thought as less masculine because you were taking care of yourself, but today, men are seeing the importance of taking care of yourself. I think this website proves that we are pressured by celebrities to use certain products. Have you ever been more likely to use a product that you've seen a celebrity use?
