My girlfriend bought some bangles from this man who is also the owner of the brightly painted fingernail in the first shot. I'm not sure what the reason was (other than to show his products), and the reason why I'm wondering why he had his nail painted was that I saw a few men in different places across India with one of theirs painted too. Anyone know why?
