While I was hoisting myself into skinny jeans and a four-year-old "going out" top from Zara, Jennifer Lopez was having quite the Saturday night. Not only did the singer/dancer/actress/everything show up to the Billboard Music Awards in a crocodile-effect Roberto Cavalli bra and skirt set [1], but she also performed her new single "Dinero" [2] for the first time on TV. To punctuate the occasion, J Lo made dollar bills rain on the audience. Another place she flexed the money motif was on her manicure, which was made with actual $100 bills.
Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik did a totally normal thing and glued pieces of Benjamins on to J Lo's mani. This little news item was confirmed by Tom's own Instagram page, which he captioned "It's All About the #Dinero 💰💅🏻 for our girl @jlo." In a series of hashtags, Tom assured us that the appliques were "#notadecal." To paraphrase the ultimate slow jam, J Lo's 2001 Ja Rule collab, they're real.
