Cardi B is bringing back a nail shape that some may deem . . . polarizing. The rapper posted a close-up of her manicure on her Instagram Stories, and her duck-feet nails were blinged out in crystals, 3D-cherry charms, and a chunky french design that just screams Y2K.
Cardi B was celebrating her son Wave’s first birthday when she shared a look at her nails. Out of her entire beauty look – which included periwinkle hair that perfectly matched her Denim Tears ensemble – the duck-feet nails managed to steal the show. Her nails started out as a quintessential french tip with the dramatic smile line reaching almost to the middle of each finger. Each nail was then accented with various decals – think hearts, traditional gems, and rubies – but nothing was more eye-catching than the tip of her nails, which were significantly wider that the traditional square or coffin nails that have risen in popularity over the past few years.

Duck-feet nails remain as versatile as any other nail shape, so if you’d like to give them a try, play around with your favourite nail-art trends to really make the look your own.
