If you were one of the 16.9 million people that tuned in to watch the powerful and moving interview where he confirmed his gender transition to Diane Sawyer, you heard Bruce Jenner say that one of the things he is looking forward to the most about presenting as a woman is just to “have my nail polish on long enough that it actually chips off.”
In response to that simple desire, the hosts of Sydney’s KIIS 1065 morning show Jackie and Kyle began #PaintYourNailsForBruce to show support for Jenner as he transitions. They’ve been encouraging men — and women — to post photos of their painted nails online, and people are responding big time!
