PSA: We all have nails. If you want to paint them, do it. In 3000BC Babylonian warriors used black kohl to color their nails. Painted nails were an indicator of status and a warrior’s battle prowess. This was done in ancient Egypt and China as well, usually to indicate class. It's just paint. We have tiny canvases on which to express ourselves. You don't have to be female/feminine/gay etc to paint your nails. You don't even have to be young to enjoy nail art. nails
