And with a Tiny Little Instagram Video, Caitlyn Jenner Has Brought Us to Tears

No one look at me right now.

As a way of expressing how profoundly she wanted to be who she is now—the real her—Caitlyn Jenner told Diane Sawyer she wished to "be able to have my nail polish on long enough that it actually chips off." It seems small, and is something so many women take for granted, but to Caitlyn, it was a lifelong dream.

Her words sparked a social-media movement, then faded into the background, but today, Caitlyn posted a video that reminds us of how far she's come.

In the clip below, the I Am Cait star repairs a nail/brings everything full-circle with what appears to be Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid. (Which will surely sell out in 3...2...1...)

You made it, Caitlyn. We're proud of you. (Dehydrated from crying so much, but still proud of you.)
