Last time we mentioned that pearls, a time-honored jewelry material, are no longer "ladylike," or even "feminine." 

Even if many people find pearl necklaces just too much to bear for a while, they have become the hottest piece of men's jewelry since the beginning of the year, with silver chains, which sold like crazy last year, coming in second.

Of course, trendy teens aren't happy with the novelty of A pearl necklace, but rappers like A$AP Rocky have been popping in and out of nail salons, trying to do something new with their hands.

1 / Gold chains and watches are no longer the only standard for Rappers

A$AP Rocky has been A big fan of manicures since last year, and as our headline says:  "I feel like men should be able to do nail art without feeling feminine."

That's what He told Vogue. He not only sees his nails as a look, but he also used his nails to express his feelings and stand for something. 

A$AP Rocky made his first official appearance since his release from prison following last year's prison row in Sweden, with the words "FCK" and "OFF" on his middle fingers. 

In addition, Rocky celebrated Prada's Paris fashion show last year with a stunning Prada manicure -- a broken heart and Frankenstein. 

In fact, Rappers wearing nail polish is nothing new. Snoop Dogg made rap news back in 2014 when he got a French manicure. 

 He took to Twitter at the time to complain, but a few years later Rappers took to his nails.  

In addition to rappers, celebrities who are keen on UNISEX are also showing off their creative ideas, whether foreign pioneers Johnny Depp, G-Dragon, Harry Style, Brat Pitt...  

Or Chinese stars kris Wu and Zhou Zhennan, both of whom have used their influence to redefine the standards of masculinity in the eyes of the public, who have become popular searches for chic items in recent years. 

2 / What is manhood? 

It seems that when it comes to redefining masculinity, we can't get around A$AP Rocky, Dennis Rodman, and, of course, David Bowie.

A$AP Rocky may be the ambassador for male manicure in 2020, but he's not the first to bring male manicure into the public eye.  

If A$AP Rocky just brought male manicure back to rap, Dennis Rodman was the first man to link A professional basketball player to UNISEX.  

In a "macho" sport where NBA stars are limited to oversized suits, one of Dr. J's plaid suits was considered a "bold choice" at the time.   

3 / The golden years left us with more than just music

 Kurt Cobain's manicures from the '90s, though not as famous as his tattoos, undoubtedly influenced the aesthetic and consciousness of male manicures in later generations. 

Kurt Cobain himself is known as an equal rights superstar. During the misogyny and rape epidemic of the 1990s, he wrote this on the cover of his album In Uetro: "If you are misogynistic, racist, homophobic or simply a bastard, please don't buy this album.  I don't care if you like me, I hate you. '  

That's why his trademark red nail polish was, and still is, a symbol of the women's rights movement.  

In 2017, during the #WomensMarch campaign, actor Boris Kodjoe painted both his son and himself red as a gesture of support.  

Black nail polish, on the other hand, is a bit more rebellious. From punk band My Chemical Romance to hip hop artist Post Malone, black nail polish has been around as much as City Boy's thick stockings. 

Back in time, David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust look has been praised for countless times, and Kwanzai Yamamoto's unconstrained creations were groundbreaking on every level, including those manicures.  .  

 Now that we don't have to choose too hardcore a manicure to make a statement, here are some tips for guys to try before you take your vacation.
