Shawn Mendes Fans Just Figured Out Why He Only Has One Fingernail Painted (2024)

• Shawn Mendes fans are wondering why the singer has been painting only one of his fingernails.
• They discovered a special campaign that asks men and women to paint one fingernail to raise awareness about violence against children.
• Shawn has participated in a number of campaigns for several organizations.

Shawn Mendes fans are always finding special meanings behind everything he does, so it's not surprising that they were able to figure out why he is sometimes seen wearing nail polish on one of his fingers.

After a fan posted a photo with Shawn featuring a nail painted black on his left hand, fans tried to figure out why he only ended up painting that one and not the rest. Turns out, it's all for a special campaign that many other celebs have been a part of in the past.

A Shawn Mendes fan account figured it all out after doing some digging and discovered the Polished Man campaign. The special organization encourages men and women to paint one nail, typically blue but any other colors can be used, to help raise awareness about violence against children.

According to Polished Man, 1 in 5 children around the world suffer from violence, which is why they ask people to paint one of their nails.

Shawn wouldn't be the first celeb to participate. Chris Hemsworth and Tyler Blackburn have also been a part of the campaign in the past.

While Shawn hasn't officially confirmed whether he is officially participating in the campaign, it wouldn't be too surprising to hear if he was. After all, Shawn has given his time and platform to a number of other great organizations including DoSomething.org and Global Citizen.
