Male-Specific Polish

The 'Indashio Black' Evolutionman Lacquer is for Men

— April 17, 2012 — Fashion
The beauty gurus at Evolutionman have produced 'Indashio Black,' also known as the latest in men's cosmetics. The product comes as a collaboration between the brand and fashion designer Indashio, and just as the images suggest, it is a dark nail lacquer for men. The polish is a part of a broader 'Rebel Nail Paint' collection, all of which specifically cater to a male audience.

The Indashio Black series is matte, a feature that is slightly more masculine than the majority of glossy digit looks. This collaboration also boasts the lines 3D features, present in the form of gold flecks strewn throughout the pot.

A personal care line like this has yet to focus upon a male contingent. Manicures and nail tool kits have always been directed towards women, and despite this entrenched norm, the Indashio Black collection is shifting the status quo.
Trend Themes
1. Male-specific Nail Lacquer - The Indashio Black collection is disrupting the beauty industry by offering a line of matte nail lacquer specifically designed for men.
2. Gender-inclusive Personal Care - The Indashio Black collaboration highlights the opportunity for brands to expand their personal care products to include men, challenging traditional gender norms.
3. Redefining Masculinity in Cosmetics - The Rebel Nail Paint collection is redefining masculinity by offering a range of nail lacquers that appeal to men and promote self-expression through grooming.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Cosmetics - The male-specific polish trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for beauty brands to tap into the growing market of men's grooming products.
2. Fashion and Designer Collaborations - The collaboration between Evolutionman and Indashio showcases the potential for fashion brands to venture into the beauty industry and offer gender-specific products.
3. Personal Care and Grooming - The Indashio Black collection highlights the potential for personal care brands to expand their offerings and cater to male consumers who seek self-care and grooming products.
