Painted nails are something that have been a taboo topic and unexpected thing to do for men for as long as they've been a thing.
The normalisation of painted nails has allowed men to express themselves and delve deeper into their artistic sides. It's something that encourages men to break outside masculine standards.
Amakhosi's George Matlou was spotted with a fun, simple and subtle set of nails on Zitha Kwinika's IG story.
The former Swallows midfielder's set of nails see his squad number painted on, along with two different smiley face designs.

According to GQ Mexico, there are four trends for men to wear nail polish. Galaxy style nails, pop art fashion, colour and a translucent style.
Galaxy style is points towards shiny-metalic colours, and a pop art fashion sees people using their nails as a mini canvas. Colour refers to more bright pastel colours, while translucent is more white-transparent tones.
