沒有甚麼比美麗的「聲明」更時尚了,特別是指甲油適用於所有性別,當今最熱門的明星包括A$AP Rocky、Harry Styles和BTS的J-hope,他們經常展示出充滿活力的男士指甲油風格,證明了男士美甲的時尚。

值得注意的是,在男士指甲上塗抹指甲油已不是一個全新的概念。事實上,男性修甲在古代很常見,於巴比倫時期,大多數男人都塗指甲油,深色的指甲油代表著更高的社會階層。同樣,在古埃及,所有階層和性別的人亦會塗上指甲油,在埃及的情況下,紅色代表較高的社會地位。

近幾十年來,男士指甲油大多與亞文化風格有關,如70年代和80年代的華麗搖滾(David Bowie),90年代的另類搖滾(Kurt Cobain的紅指甲)和哥德文化。

現在的區別在於,男士指甲油再次變得越來越主流,而不是反文化。雖然現在的男士指甲油不太可能公開表明你的身份,但這並不意味著選擇的風格已經失去了所有意義。請看下面Vogue對這些方向性美甲的各種看法,從閃亮到有光澤的,還有熱帶以及黑色。

搖滾

如果你喜歡在眾人的目光中,這種魅力四射的風格就適合你。如果不在你的指尖上塗上一抹亮色,你還能怎樣讓你內心的搖滾明星閃閃發光呢?例如Machine Gun Kelly在2022年Billboard Music Awards上戴著鑽石裝飾的指甲。
