At the Grammy Awards, Cardi B went all out—from her blue eyeshadow to her architectural gown. Her beauty was finished with wicked stiletto-shaped nails that were pitch-black with a silver streak for added flair.

Bui expertly sculpted Cardi B’s nails into perfectly long points and finished them with dazzling jewels to prevent bubblegum pink from being too precious. The rapper’s Reebok ad is a study in contrasts, as is the whole package.
03. Seductive

Bui is aware that a classic shouldn’t be tampered with. All you need for a spectacular mani is a layer of red nail paint, in this instance Candy layer Pro Palette Gel Colour in Marilyn ($19).
4. Luminous

This manicure’s extra-long length leaves plenty of space for crystals and other embellishments. Deck up your own tips with stickers and nail jewels to recreate her mani.
05. Having a Blue Day

Unquestionably, matching your nails to your Hermés purse is insanely cool. Chaun Legend, a celebrity nail artist located in Los Angeles, created this striking blue manicure. To add more drаmа, he went with a matte finish while maintaining her characteristic stiletto design.
06. Milk with strawberries

Cardi B’s understated manicure for the occasion was somewhat unexpecteԀ since both her and the Met Gala are known for their extravagant appearances. To get the desired strawberry milk tone, Bui used acrylic tips from Mia Sеcrеt, filed them into a long, round shape, and then painted on Aprés Nail Gel Couleur in Oh For Shore ($15).
07. Worth As Much As Gold

As if this ensemble wasn’t drаmаtic enough, Cardi B brought the splendor right up to her fingers. Not only do her high-shine gold nails bling up her opera-length gloves, but they also have pearls, hoops, and glitter on them.
08. Perfect State

Cardi likes a mani-handbag matching moment, as we’ve established. She chose mint green and a ton of sparkle in this instance.
09. What A Treasure

Where even should one begin with this set: The diamonds of stacked hearts? The accent nail with a red spiral? (However, if every nail is thus adorned, can you really call it an accent nail?) We’re here to take in everything that this manicure has to offer.
10. Brownie Bаbe

When you’re next to Lizzo with her amazing manicure, it’s difficult to have nails that pop, yet Cardi B succeeds. Slick gold tones are always a nice option, and Cardi B adds even more individuality to that ensemble by using a distinct chromatic hue within the same color family on each tip.
