Some United States military women are fuming over the Air Force<\/a>\u2019s new uniform guidelines, which prevents them from wearing colored nail polish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Air Force<\/a> Chief of Staff General David Allvin alerted military members of the guidelines in a memo on January 24, which was shared on an unofficial Facebook group about the Air Force<\/a>. In the memo, Allvin noted that on February 1, the permitted colors of nail polish<\/a> were being reduced from 60 to three, so only \u201cclear, or French or American Manicure<\/a>\u201d were allowed. <\/p>\n

Female service members have since shared their candid thoughts about the new rule on social media, including one woman on TikTok named Elora Jean, who\u2019s in the US Air Force<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire section about nail polish colors that women could or couldn\u2019t wear in uniform is gone,\u201d she said in a recent clip, before showcasing all the nail colors that were initially authorized in 2024 but are not anymore. <\/p>\n

After reading the now-viral memo<\/a> from Allvin, continued to hit back at the nail polish policy. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are not happy,\u201d she said about the online reaction to the memo. \u201cThey think that the priorities are a little bit skewed right now. And that nail polish is really not that serious. And that there\u2019s a lot of other things that should be focused on when it comes to military readiness, and recruiting and general well-being for people in the military.\u201d <\/p>\n

Air Force member says women are \u2018not happy\u2019 about the restrictions on colored nail polish (@_elorajean_ \/ TikTok)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

In the comments of the clip, which has more than 5.9 million views, multiple people, including veterans, agreed with Jean\u2019s take and questioned why military women can\u2019t wear colored nail polish. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhere do the priorities of nail polish correspond with large-scale combat operations?\u201d one person wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe just got colors and now it\u2019s more strict than when I first joined,\u201d another wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like it\u2019s not like a major deal but also why do they even care what color you paint your damn nails,\u201d a third responded. <\/p>\n

Others joked about the meaning of an American manicure, which is a nude or pink-based polish with white tips. <\/p>\n

\u201c[What do you mean] American manicures aren’t miniature American flags?\u201d One wrote.<\/p>\n

Other servicewomen chimed in on the unofficial Air Force Facebook group.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true, wine red nail polish makes me type slower. I\u2019ve noticed,\u201d one quipped, while a second added: \u201cMy nail lady who bought all new APPROVED polish is about to be pissed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just got my damn nails done and spent $50 on a color that\u2019s not approved now,\u201d complained another on the Air Force Subreddit.<\/a><\/p>\n

The memo to Air Force personnel also shared other guidelines, stating that while on duty, \u201cmale Airmen must be clean-shaven.\u201d Duty Identified Patches, which indicate a service member\u2019s job, are also \u201cno longer authorized for wear.\u201d Another new uniform requirement added the definition for \u201cgig line.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen members wear shirt tucked into trousers or slacks with front fly opening, the button front edge of the shirt, the outside of the belt buckle (when required) and the edge of the fly will align,\u201d the memo reads. \u201cThis alignment creates a gig line. The gig line should be straight and neat.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
