Gay manicure

Similar to wearing a rainbow flag pin, short nails are traditionally a coded way for queer women and nonbinary folks who date women to identify one another. They are not only a symbol of. Over the pandemic, more and more men – gay and straight alike – are cozying up to intensive grooming rituals. And that includes the male manicure – the “menicure,” if you will. We’ve seen it all. Show off your support for the LGBTQ+ community with these vibrant and fun gay nail designs that add a pop of color to any manicure.

Let your nails do the talking and spread love and acceptance wherever you go with these unique and eye-catching stickers. When it comes to manicures, think rainbows, bold colors, and designs that symbolize the unity and strength of the LGBTQIA+ community.

A lesbian manicure (also known as a queer manicure, lesbian nails, femmicure etc.

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Monty Manicure a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below. Self esteem and confidence was something that I have struggled with my entire life. Looking back on my life so far, there was always one common denominator that helped me when my confidence or self esteem wavered.

Here is the story of how music saved my life. Growing up as a queer kid, I always knew I was different, and that alone is enough to send a young mind into a spiral of confusion and self doubt. My journey through self discovery was not at all a paved road, it had stretches of mud and dirt, sometimes it was a chasm in the earth, and sometimes it was strong and flat like concrete. My earliest struggle began in elementary school, a place where a kid can be a kid, but if your different, you are labeled as an outcast and bullied.

I had a speech impediment, a stutter that would make casual conversation nearly impossible. No one wanted to talk to me, and when they did, all they could focus on was my stutter. Imagine the words that you want to say are on a teleprompter in your mind that is moving way too fast. Years and years of speech therapy helped me, but multiple times a week I was pulled from my studies to go to speech therapy and that only further alienated me from the rest of the kids.

One of things that helped me during the speech therapy classes was music, it was able to say the things I wanted and needed to say. When I sang and danced and was able to lose myself in the melodies, that was when my stutter would momentarily disappear. Coming out was hard, like many others I feared being shunned by my family and left on the streets to fend for myself.

Music helped me gather the courage to overcome that, I was blind to queer representation in music for a long time, that is until I discovered Lady Gaga. Little by little, I would sprinkle bits of Lady Gaga into my family conversations and day-to-day life, in hopes that they would catch on. Without music artists like Gaga, many of us may not have the confidence to be our true selves.

After coming out, I had a newfound energy, wanting to explore the world as this new and improved version of myself. The decision to become a truck driver at 22 years old was sudden, and the opportunity seemed to fall into my lap. Being on the road was a dream come true, I was able to meet new people, see new places, and for the first time in my life, live life the way I wanted. Constantly in motion, I traveled from coast to coast with a predetermined route and was never in one city for more than a few days at a time.

This made meeting new people very easy, being able to pre-plan my trip and start conversations with people online and continue them in-person, was an exciting perk to the job with an ever changing view. Almost everywhere I went; I was able to create fantastic and wondrous memories such as things from visiting the Gateway Arch, to standing on the historic grassy knoll in Dallas, TX. Unfortunately, there is one memory that created a painful burn that is still healing today, and that was in Montgomery, AL.

Surviving the attack was my first priority, and waking up and realizing that I was bleeding was terrifying. The police investigation was short because I was scared, if my friends and family had found about the sexual assault, what would they say about me? This sent my mind into a tailspin, very quickly falling out of love with my queerness, and sending me to the deepest darkest corners of my mind.

In this darkness, my only light was music. Through the music, healing had begun, and my connection to the lyrics allowed me to process what had happened in Alabama. Thanks to the music, I was able to navigate the deepest crevasse in my journey of self discovery and slowly rebuild my self-esteem. My wheeler, originally a chariot for adventure, had transformed into a mental prison.

One random day later, my family called with a cancer scare.
