In what seems like a strange trend that had suddenly invaded Hollywood, a lot of favorite cleebrity actors seem to have taken to wearing nail polish. And a few of them have chosen to sport bright neon shades as well. Just another bizarre Hollywood fad? Not really. The actors are doing it all for a good cause as a way of showing support towards putting an end to violence against children.
The trend was inspired by a little girl who was repeatedly physically and sexually assaulted in the orphanage where she lived. After meeting with CEO Elliot Costella, she painted his nail and bid goodbye. Her story caused Elliot to start of the cause called Polished Man. Being a Polished Man "means you don't turn your back on the vulnerable. You raise your voice—and nail—to say, 'not on my watch'. You embrace the smirks and know it doesn't matter; there are worse things than being embarrassed by a little mani."
Women too can paint their nails as part of this awareness. Actors who have jumped on the bandwagon include Zac Efron and the Hemsworth brothers.
