“We match,” actress Sarah Michelle Gellar posted to Instagram alongside a photograph of her hand, her daughter’s hand and her son’s hand.
All three of them wearing black nail polish after a treat trip to the manicurist.
It was a sweet, family day out – until it wasn’t, because the internet means we can’t have nice things.
Responding to her post, commenters were quick to hurl accusations at the 40-year-old Buffy, The Vampire Slayer star.
Why? Because apparently little boys aren’t allowed to wear nail polish.
Never mind that anybody with nails (so, everybody) can, in fact, wear polish. And for Rocky, who is five, nail polish likely does not mean anything beyond a fun colour to put on the tips of his fingers. Something novel to do with his eight-year-old sister Charlotte.
He probably giggled as the manicurist tickled his palms, he might have splashed his fingers in the water as they rinsed them off. Scrunched his nose at the funny smell and swung on the salon chairs.

Well my 3 boys saw me painting my nails the other day and they wanted theirs done, fingers and toes. My 5 year old selected bright pink and my two year old twins wanted orange. I was more than happy to oblige. People need to chill out and let kids enjoy life.
What do these idiots think will happen to this kid, getting his nails painted? It’s going to ‘turn him gay’ or something, is that it? That’s not how it works (and so what if he does end up being gay?). I’d say it’s a case of a little boy just wanting to do what Mum and big sister are doing, and if he’s happy, all these internet busybodies need to take a seat and mind their own business.
