Cardi B's style is as over-the-top as her personality. It is vibrant and loud from head to toe, which gets us excited to see what look she is going to do next. From red carpets and concert stages to music videos and her day-to-day life, Cardi delivers with her looks every time. Becoming a mother to Kulture in 2018 didn't get in the way of her slayage at all. Soon Cardi will be a mommy of two, and we're sure her slay game will remain intact. One of the most critical components of her style is her super-long, embellished nails, which look like incredibly detailed, gilded works of art. They are often opulent enough to rival her diamond-encrusted jewelry!

Nail artist Jenny Bui, aka the "Queen of Bling," has been keeping Cardi's nails on point ever since the day they met in 2013. The rapper fell in love with her work and has been hooked ever since. Jenny's specialty is dressing nails up with rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, and basically anything that can make them look like jewelry. She has been honing her skills for over 20 years, and you can tell she is an expert by taking a close-up look at her work on Cardi.
If you can't help but think of reggaeton star Ivy Queen when you look at Cardi's nails, it's for a good reason. Ivy is also known for her extravagant nails, and Cardi has cited her as one of her biggest inspirations. "This is my Queen for real a[n] idol for me @ivyqueendiva," she captioned a picture of the two of them on Instagram, which has since been deleted. "Her music was one of the first reggaeton songs I ever listen too [sic]. She also inspired me to get my nails how I get them done."
We're glad Cardi was inspired to have fun with her nails, because they are so interesting to look at. Here are some of the most opulent designs she has worn over the years. They aren't for the faint of heart.
