Top I have two titles mom and aunt and I rock them both rainbow leopard shirt

 I did not dare, not at first. I was social distancing, after all, and spicing up my fingers didn’t strike me as essential. Instead, I daydreamed about outré nails—the I have two titles mom and aunt and I rock them both rainbow leopard shirt so you should to go to store and get this ones London-based artist Sylvie Macmillan devised for the spring/summer 0 Dries Van Noten show, imitating the collection’s fabric on elongated fingertips; the jeweled, anime-inspired stiletto-shaped tips Los Angeles–based Coca Michelle creates for Megan Thee Stallion. I watched nail-art tutorials on TikTok. I devoured the nail news from the couture runways—the Dracula-inspired claws dangling off models’ hands at Viktor & Rolf, and the flesh-toned daggers on view at Glenn Martens’s Jean Paul Gaultier debut. Venturing back outside, I was struck by how many New York City storefronts that had been emptied out during the pandemic were now filled by salons offering Japanese-style nail art. Apparently, I’m far from alone in gravitating toward nails as the ornament du jour.

For Brooklyn-bred nail pioneer Honey, they’ve never not been a thing. Girl, I grew up going to the I have two titles mom and aunt and I rock them both rainbow leopard shirt so you should to go to store and get this nail salon, she tells me with a shrug as she rifles through pots of glitter at her petite, appointment-only studio near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. As she points out, for many women of color, long ornate nails are nothing new. Years before she was getting name-dropped as one of the fashion industry’s most innovative nail techs, Honey was tagging along with her mother on her weekly pilgrimages to their local East Flatbush salon. That’s where all the ladies in the neighborhood hung out, getting their sets done. And just, talking about everything, she recalls. What we’re seeing today is the cross-pollination of several developments, explains Suzanne E. Shapiro, a New York–based fashion historian and the author of Nails: The Story of the Modern Manicure. On the one hand—no pun intended—there’s the ongoing mainstreaming of hip-hop aesthetics and the rise of celebrity culture, with people like Cardi B emerging as ambassadors for the maximal nail. And on the other, there are these huge innovations in nail technology, mostly coming out of Asia, continues Shapiro, that have eased the process of obtaining extended, embellished nails like the ones Flo-Jo made internationally famous at the 988 Olympics. One such advance is the Aprés Gel-X extension, which has awakened new possibilities for the form, according to New York–based nail artist Mei Kawajiri. You can fit them to any nail, and they’re just not as hard to work with as acrylics, she notes of the thin, malleable tips developed in Japan. Similar to the gel that’s in polish, it’s quick to apply and soaks off without much fuss—one reason, Kawajiri says, that with the Aprés, it’s more like, you can play.
