Why the black fingernail in film The matrix?

In the scene where he receives the mobile phone in his office, Neo is seen to be sporting a long black half painted finger nail. Is this of any importance or just something Keanu must have been trying out?Why the black fingernail in film The matrix?
';I hadn鈥檛 even seen the movie when I interviewed Reeves, but was intrigued by him and his decision to star in a movie by the directors of Bound, a lesbian murder mystery. The scruffy Reeves, back then, in 1999, walked into the suite at The Ritz Carlton in Pasedena wearing a suit, shirt, no tie, and sported a pair of fingernails painted in black polish. I left the interview thinking, this dude has probably made his last film and will never work in Hollywood again.';

';At the end of our interview, I pluck up the courage to ask him something that had been bothering me since the start: why is one of the sexiest men alive wearing purple nail varnish?





Released from the burden of answering questions about his romantic interests, his present accommodation and his emotional state, Keanu lets out a big grin. ';Oh, the old nail polish. Joel Silver is hating me right now. He's like: 'You're not going to talk about the movie. She's going to ask about the nails!';





Satisfied that he's answered this question at least, he takes a slow sip of ice-water and waits to battle another taxing inquiry. It takes me a moment to realise that I'm none the wiser about the nail polish. Weird, man, just weird.';
