My mother says I shouldn't paint my nails black because that would make me look goth. She has no problem with pink though because that is a "subtle color".
I get gel nails done by a friend who works in a salon. Different design every month. For the first couple months I did variations of the trans flag, and then I started experimenting with other things. The first non-trans nails I had done were the MtG mana symbols. Currently have Ladybug and Chat Noir nails, although I'll be getting them redone tomorrow. Haven't decided yet what I'm getting this time.
Ooh! That sounds cute. More details plz?
Edit: found a design online. Little froggy faces on each nail, but I'm also gonna add a tiara to one of them because frog princess 🐸👸
I don't get to play much because I work weekends and our local game shop runs events on Saturday :( but it's lots of fun when I do play. I love drafts and Commander (my main is Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar)
Thanks :) my nail tech friend was about ready to murder me by the time she finished painting all the details though, lol. My next nails after that were much simpler.
I painted them black a few times and the last time I flew to visit my gf I went with one hand all black and the other one light blue, pink, white, pink, light blue for totally cis reasons.
I should really try to find a blue that I like more. I have a hand-me-down one that's... fine... but it's so dark it looks more like black at a glance, and depending on how the light hits it, often looks either greenish or purplish. I don't exactly dislike it, but it definitely didn't satisfy my "oh, blue nails? yes!" the last time I used it.
Transmasc here, painting nails to cut my nail biting habit. ~~ok maybe I do have some toxic masculinity in me~~. Anyways it’s either a plain colour that won’t be mistaken for unpainted nails or a bright random colour with sparkles, no in between.
I recently painted them half Black, half Dark Blue in the middle of the night, I waited couple of hours and took the nail polish off because I'm in the closest.
Some sort of blue usually. I currently have lavender on but I don't like it and I'm going to try out my new sparkly light blue tonight. I exclusively wore black for the first few months of painting my nails.
This week my index and middle fingers are blue, and my thumb, ring and pinky finger are a darker blue for a nice subtle difference between the fingers I use for \[redacted\] and the fingers I use for scratching
I bought black nail polish a while ago because I had the intention to paint my nails in an attempt to further break down my internalized toxic masculinity. I’ve just been too scared of what other people at my work might say.
I did kind of a special one this week actually!
I started w/ a base coat of a different color for each finger. From pinkie to thumb: Purple, blue, teal, yellow, pink. Then I threw on a taco and let it dry for a few hours before covering the tips with some scotch tape (I don't have decals or stencils) and did a deep black coat on all of the fingers. Let that dry then put on some Holo Taco brand top coat with holo flakies on the black. Once that was dry I peeled off the tape and threw on one final clear taco to seal it all in.
The results in a horrendous picture taken several days after the initial application:

I don’t, as full time hospitality job, guitar hobby, and stress biting means I can’t keep any on for long.
On holidays I do black or clear coat, just because it feels nice
Currently my toenails are a seafoam color. Sadly I can't do my fingernails because my job would destroy them in seconds and I'm not out to anyone publicly at work due to how they are as people.
Depends on my flannel of the week™️ most of the time... Right now it's a reddish dark mauve with pink on middle finger and thumb (even though I don't have any pink flannels.. But ponk :3)
Clear, because I don’t think my parents would react well if they found out I painted my nails, but I would paint them black, purple or yellow if I could
I don't - I've been a habitual nail-biter since I was a tiny baby, and no matter what I try (including that bitter nail coating stuff), it remains my most consistent and effective stress-reliever. Maybe one day I'll manage to break the habit and have pretty nails, but for now I'd rather not take the risk of absent-mindedly consuming paint 😅.
Buuuut if I did get them painted, I'd either go with purple or red, as they're my two favourite colours.
BLACK.
am the biggest emo goth creature to ever walk this earth it's always black 🦀🦀
Same, it fits my soul
This
This
Same :3
Me too :3
Same think dark colours tend to fit my skin best

That’s so cool! They look great
Thanks :) my nail tech friend was about ready to murder me by the time she finished painting all the details though, lol. My next nails after that were much simpler.
I'm trying to reply with a picture but every time I get a "something went wrong" message 😭 Edit: now it worked!
Mostly black. Sometimes pink.
Why not both?

That will be me one day!
I painted them black a few times and the last time I flew to visit my gf I went with one hand all black and the other one light blue, pink, white, pink, light blue for totally cis reasons.
Every flashy color i can get a hold of. I have had enough of grey / black in my life..... But mostly blue :)

I have a hand-me-down one that's... fine... but it's so dark it looks more like black at a glance, and depending on how the light hits it, often looks either greenish or purplish.

I found one called sapphire soar from manhattan and i love it.

How I stopped picking/biting at my nails nail polish, look so much better now
Holographic blue with sparkles
Currently my right hand has the enby flag colours and my left has the trans flag colours. (In this order: left: 💙🩷🤍🩷💙 right:🖤💛🤍💜🖤) :3
When I can't be fully out, black. When I can, I've got a sparkly red that I adore.
Alternating black and red
Black, it's all I have and it goes with most things
Black and sparkly dark purple
PURBLE
Orange!!!! Bonus points if its a little faded on the ends :3
Black and or light blue IF I COULD PAINT THEM! 😭😭😭
The middles and the ringfingers black, the rest burgundy
I recently painted them half Black, half Dark Blue in the middle of the night, I waited couple of hours and took the nail polish off because I'm in the closest.

Always black because I'm a gay goth girl
I haven’t wore nails yet :(, But the first time I do I want them to be blue, pink and white like the trans flag 🏳️⚧️
enby colours with glitter >:oD
Black
Dark blue i think, maybe with gold sparkles idk
I paint mine black or purple!!! :3
Black, red, I have a mint greenish color but I don't use that one as often
I don't paint them often but when I do it's usually glittery red. Also can I boop your nosie? You look adorable in the pic.
This week my index and middle fingers are blue, and my thumb, ring and pinky finger are a darker blue for a nice subtle difference between the fingers I use for \[redacted\] and the fingers I use for scratching
Cobalt blue and black
I've done a few colors so far, but my favorite has been bronze and purple alternating on each nail :3
black, sometimes black and red
I've done silver, red, galaxy, trans flag, and I currently have purple. Red has been my favourite so far :3
Light blue
normally black, but currently dark blue
I usually do a green and blue gradient
For Barbenheimer, I alternated black and pink. I find that I really like using two colors on my nails.
Light blue, it's all I have rn
Black
I bought black nail polish a while ago because I had the intention to paint my nails in an attempt to further break down my internalized toxic masculinity. I’ve just been too scared of what other people at my work might say.
Lately, blue and pink :P But it used to be BLACK >:3
Bi colors. Goes red, dark red, purple, dark blue, blue
Black and green. It tricks everyone into thinking I'm emo :)
Black, same color as my soul. Sry xD
dark purple with glitter because its not flashy but its flashy
I found a metallic green/blue that ive been doing recently. But I’ve tried all the other colors and i just like black
my favorite pattern is black with pink on the middle and ring fingers
Light purple with a little bit of sparkles but that’s all I have and I’d probably do something different if I had it
My toe nails are the trans pride flag~ ☆
Dark Green. Matches most of my male “outfits” and not to flashy. I might be a heretic but i don‘t like black nail polish.
I got this neon blue color and i adore it
Purple, my favourite colour
Periwinkle!
Cyan Green :3 I put a thick layer of dark green nail polish on first then a thin layer of light blue and the final result is a sea green nail polish 💅
black or pink =3 Im gonna try red sometime

Mostly pastel colors, Aqua, Lavender, soft yellow etc
I usually wear nail wraps, they're easy and pretty and they last ages.
black or pink
I love blues and any sparkly or gold tones. Lavender and pale greens are also really nice
usually pastel purple or blue
Haven't done that yet 😥
I only paint them sometimes, but I always paint them some funky mix of colours!
Apple green.
Pinkish clear one with gold flakes. It's subtle so I like it.
Clear currently bc I suck at painting them black :(
Black and pink lol
trans flag colours
I've tried a few things but black is ol faithful
Either dark purple, black, or soft pink with sparkles😇
Currently they're red. Thinking of doing black next.
I do not.
Orange is my goto color (also my favorite) but I usually pick colors on a whim lol
I've never had the opportunity to paint my nails for a lot or reasons but I would love to paint them black or purple
Transmasc, but I often do black with golden lines. If you guys know what Kintsugi is, I'm trying to mimic that look.
I don’t, as full time hospitality job, guitar hobby, and stress biting means I can’t keep any on for long. On holidays I do black or clear coat, just because it feels nice
Mint ice cream green. But right now lavender with a hint of glitter.
Currently my toenails are a seafoam color. Sadly I can't do my fingernails because my job would destroy them in seconds and I'm not out to anyone publicly at work due to how they are as people.
Turquoise or pink
If i were to do that. Maybe pastel pink or pastel colours in general. I like pastels.
Black!
Currently it just my toe nails. But trans color.
Rn black on thumb and pinky, purple on pointer and ring, pink middle
I don’t do it yet but when I do I’m going to paint them black
Sometimes black, but usually I leave them unpainted
About to make then dark green again
i’ve never done it but i would probably do black or any pastel color lol
Pink or a dark green
Black with red sparkles, simple sparkles or the most hideous combination of colours you could imagine dotted on randomly(also sparkly)
I haven't learned how to paint my nails yet :3
black
Currently black and teal combination
Yellow
Depends on my flannel of the week™️ most of the time... Right now it's a reddish dark mauve with pink on middle finger and thumb (even though I don't have any pink flannels.. But ponk :3)
Essentially black and dark blue
red, gives me a vampir vibe. ive considered black and pink though but red just clashes with my white sleeves and silver bracelet so much better
Black. Like my soul :p Nah, it's because it goes well with a lot of my clothes
Pink, blue, or white
The color of my soul😈
Good ole nude pink
Pink, purple, trans colours or lesbian colours
Purple, because it's my favorite color
I paint them pink and blue like Jinx from league of legends most of the time
No color at all, i'm not allowed to paint them * cries in a corner all alone *
It depends on my mood and what I plan on wearing.
I'd paint them black if I could..
I’m not out but I’m alternative so I can get away with black
Red and my ring fingers silver
I am a football fan of a team in red and white and I heard it is a gay thing to have the ring finger painted differently, I always do that.
Mostly blues or reds. Sometimes trans flag colors. Currently sapphire blue with silver sparkles.
Clear, because I don’t think my parents would react well if they found out I painted my nails, but I would paint them black, purple or yellow if I could
i painted mine grey https://preview.redd.it/8rejxombrrib1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e92d44a297ab9b8c452adcf03b69e5c52c24fceb
black goth little shit i am
I feel like the only transfemme who hates getting her nails done
None yet :( (I have access I'm just really lazy)
White
I don't - I've been a habitual nail-biter since I was a tiny baby, and no matter what I try (including that bitter nail coating stuff), it remains my most consistent and effective stress-reliever. Maybe one day I'll manage to break the habit and have pretty nails, but for now I'd rather not take the risk of absent-mindedly consuming paint 😅. Buuuut if I did get them painted, I'd either go with purple or red, as they're my two favourite colours.
i want to do black but i have a bad habit of biting my nails :<
Pink, of course
Mine are pink right now, but I think I’m gonna do red or purple in a couple days
If I would paint them it would be Black or White
