It’s as if it was meant to be for me to wear them.

While it might seem obvious to most, it bears repeating that nails aren’t connected to gender or sexuality and can be worn by anybody — something that is sadly lost on naysayers. “People think that if you wear acrylic nails, you’re automatically gay or not straight. Most people who see me with nails assume I’m LGTBQ+ and when I tell them I am not, they are always astonished,” says Humza.
