Three Nail Trends Men Love

Here’s a shocker: Men have opinions when it comes to your manicure. And for your whole beauty routine: check out what guys secretly think about your hair and makeup.

•The Shape He Loves
Pointy talons are too extreme for most dudes. “Soft curves look most natural…and men find that sexy,” says biological anthropologist Helen Fisher. See other beauty looks guys will go gaga for.

•#1 Hue He's Hot For
Nothing’s steamier than classic cherry red, say 40 percent of the men we polled on our Website. Tied for second: sheer pink and plain-old clear. Check out Cosmo's nail care tips.

•Size Really Matters
Nails grown barely past your fingertips are the ideal length, says Fisher. They look feminine but won’t stop you from, say, unzipping him or sexting. See what else guys really notice about your looks

Sexy Swirls

Glam things up with a groovy multicolor manicure

BeyoncĂ©’s metallic Minx nails shine on the red carpet and look great against her neutral dress. Celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik shared this secret to getting a multicolor mani without a trip to the salon: Fill a paper cup with water and add a few drops from three of your favorite polishes. Use a toothpick to swirl together, then dip each nail. Clean up excess color with polish remover or a corrector pen (like Avon Nail Experts Neat Nails Nail Enamel Corrector Pen) and set with a clear top coat for a funky, swirled finish.
