Bear in mind the nail polish obsession of the late 2000s and early 2010s? Nail polish was the “It” magnificence product of the time and I spent hours driving round to snag probably the most coveted shades and merchandise, together with matte polishes, which completely suited the “indie sleaze” vibes of the period with their edgy, rock ‘n roll end and funky issue. If you happen to, like me, have been craving to return to that point interval of flashy colours, enjoyable nails, and pop bops, we have got firm! Rihanna‘s new nails are mainly a time machine transporting us again to these wonderful days.
The matte black manicure, created by manicurist Pika, makes a outstanding cameo in some new promo pics and movies for Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Oil, a shiny, shiny lip product made for summertime shining. Rihanna’s nails are quick and square-shaped (her preferred silhouette, she advised us!) and painted with a matte black polish, then tipped with a shiny components in the identical inky shade for distinction. This mani would’ve been proper at residence within the “We Discovered Love” video, or 2007’s gothy “Umbrella,” which might be why it feels so delightfully surprising practically 20 years later. In a sea of delicate glazed nails and micro-French manicures, Rihanna’s matte black nails are a breath of contemporary air.
