A man with a shaved head and white nail polish poses for a selfie, placing his hand on his forehead. He wears a white t-shirt with a colorful logo and the text "STATEMENTS" is overlaid on the image.
💅🏼Traveling around the world with painted nails is a statement 🏳️‍🌈 I do it for all the little boys who aren’t allowed to express themselves. I do it because I’m tired of heteronormative stereotypes. I do it to provoke. I do it because it looks really good, and makes me unique💕

I absolutely love this! When I was about 4-5 years old, I asked my nan to paint my nails when I slept over at hers, because it looked nice and I wanted to try it. I still remember the sheer panic of my parents and how the nail polish remover burnt my fingers as they were scrubbing it off. And mainly so, I love your message, and that you’re prepared to be unapologetically you, and not just for yourself but for others.

@justkp Thank you so much for your nice comment! Traveling through countries like Morocco with painted nails is not a easy thing to do, I thought, but it went actually really well. And do hope it empowers other people to do the same, or at least dress the way they want to dress🙏❤️
