Cardi B frequently changes up her style [1] — in the past year she's worn everything from a giant loofah [2] to an elegant, formfitting gown [3] — but you can always count on one constant: insanely over-the-top nails. Each and every time the "Bodak Yellow" singer walks the red carpet, attends an event, or puts on a show, her fingernails are blinged out beyond belief, usually with an assortment of shiny jewels. We're assuming Cardi's manicurist, Jenny Bui [4], has to wear sunglasses while doing the rapper's nails because they end up being so effing blinding.
Seeing as Cardi B is on the fast track to worldwide domination [5], we figured it's about time we take a second to appreciate her wildest manicures to date. Admire them in all their extra glory ahead, and you'll develop a newfound respect for her ability to slay a live performance [6] without breaking a superlong nail.
