Beach-proof your manicure!

I'll admit it; I have a nail polish addiction. I have been known to give myself a manicure every other day to try every great new color I see. Lately, I have been really into summer's bright colored nail trend; hot pinks, greens and blues shades look striking and fun everywhere!

My guy friend said his skin was blinding pasty, and he needed to do something about it before hitting the beach. Putting my beauty-editor hat on, I suggested he try one of these self tanners (since no self-respecting beauty editor would recommend tanning in the sun or a booth -- the damage!).

Unfortunately, my suggestion was met with a burst of laughter and a claim that he'd "rather fry in the sun than use that stuff." Why? "Because if I did it wrong and you could see orange streaks, then people would know."

While images of these tangerine-hued celebs came to mind, I still tried to assure him that with these foolproof tips, it's totally possible to use self tanner without anyone suspecting. Sadly, I was unable to convince him. Taking off the beauty-editor hat, I realized maybe it is just too weird.

What do you think? Is it OK for guys to use self tanner or should we mock these artificially bronzed specimens?
