Idk if this actually helps but I thought I’d offer just in case: I’m a very cishet-coded man, and I wear bright glossy colored nail polish a few times a year for sporting events. I get them painted in team colors to show my support, and as best I can tell people perceive it as being very traditionally male when they ask and I start happily babbling about sports. If you have a particular color way you want to try, I’m happy to help you find a team that matches and some talking points about them so you can try painting your nails more ostentatiously and still have a cover story.
Inter Miami (men’s soccer) and the San Diego Wave (women’s soccer) both wear a shocking pink. Angel City (women’s soccer) wear a more muted pink if that’s your style. Woso is a bit more clocky because the fandom is very queer, but being a bandwagon Miami fan because you saw Messi in this year’s World Cup is a very stereotypical cis dude behavior. I don’t mean to try to strong arm you into caring about sports, I’m just mentioning an option.

My favorite color is shocking pink, which makes things a bit difficult, I guess. But I’m also not interested in sports at all
