“Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness has been anointed with the honor from the L'Oréal-owned brand, and he announced to all his followers via social media that he will be working with the nail polish company.

His post reading, “I’m so honored to announce I’ve teamed up with @essie as their first non-female ambassador in celebration of Pride! For me, polish has always been a form of self-expression.
