Halanna, I didn't realize it was such an involved process. Maybe I won't do it.
I find it fascinating how many people are associating my original question with a desire to get attention. For me, painting my nails has nothing to do with looking different, going against the majority, or simply trying to get someone to look at or even like me.
I simply think the look is cool and would like to know I'm walking around, looking like something I think is cool. It would make me feel good.
Lastly, the reason I equate the nail painting to homosexuality is this: I was at a party one time, and I decided to color my nails green. Several people asked me if I was gay. Granted, I made it through the party without losing any friends, and I also went home with a girl. Hell, there was even another guy there with nail polish, and he didn't get attacked or kicked out. I guess it's not a big deal, but I've grown up with such horribly judgmental friends that it's hard to imagine doing something like this.
