SheKnowsBest has an early look at DKNY Men, the latest fragrance collection from the queen of New York fashion, Donna Karan. The fragrance sounds like it’s a blend of florals, warm classic woods, some bright citrus touches and a pinch of spice. We’ll have a full review here at HOMMEGROOMING soon, but until then, check out the post over at SheKnowsBest, one of our favorite blogs for men. [SheKnowsBest]

Are men taking pedicures too far and adding that extra touch of polish? Say it ain’t so. Perhaps it’s just some quarantined Hollywood trend. We’re fine with guys hitting the spa for a little toenail maintenance, a massage and a facial. But toenail polish is going too far. Our recommendations? Skip the Pretty Ballerina Pink polish. We’ll overlook the clear polish. [TheFrisky]

Speaking of pedicures, the state of Florida has outlawed the (popular?) treatment to have fish nibble away at the callussed skin on your feet. The whole thing sounds a bit unnerving to me, but some people swear by it. If you want to be eaten by fish, hit the beach, swim in a lake or wade in a river. Nail salons should be extremely sanitary and sticking my feet in a fishbowl doesn’t sound too clean to me. [The Inquisitr]

    I would like to update you on the use of nail polish by men.

    It’s here and many guys are opting for color when they get a pedicure. Surveys of nail salons have confirmed this, and some savvy operators are now stocking special colors of polish for their bolder male clients.

    BB Couture and Man Glaze are two companies that offer nail polish colors just for men that have a distinctive masculine look to them.

    It appears that wearing nail polish on toes is not just for women anymore and is fast becoming the new ‘earring’ for men.
