Bruce Jenner gained full support from his fans around the world for his gender transition. Shortly after the star's tell-all interview was aired, Australian radio announcers Kyle and Jackie O took to social media to start "#PaintYourNailForBruce" campaign to support the celeb's gender transition.
Bruce opened up that he was transitioning from a male to a female in Friday, April 24 interview with Diane Sawyer. In the brave interview, Bruce confirmed that he "for all intents and purposes is a woman." When asked about what he wanted to do in the near future after unveiling his biggest secret to the world, Bruce said, "To be able to have my nail polish on long enough that it actually chips off."
Following the interview, dozens of Bruce's male fans were encouraged to show their support for the star by polishing their nails and sharing the pictures on Instagram and Twitter.

The campaign did not only attract male fans to paint their nails. Many female fans did the same, posting pictures of their colored nails on social media.
Kyle and Jackie didn't only support Bruce on social media. After giving free manicure to all visitors of their KIIS 1065 radio studio, they took their effort to Sydney's central station. Equipped with Sally Hansen nail polish, the two hosts gave free manicures to any supportive male or female passers by.
Support for Bruce didn't only come from fans, but also from his family. His son Brandon Jenner fully supported his father. "[I said] that I'll always be there and I'm not going anywhere," Brandon told Diane during the interview. "I feel like I'm getting an upgraded version of my dad, of a parent."
