Whenever Saweetie showcases her latest nail creation, it’s impossible to look away. The rapper has built a reputation for her extraordinary manicures, and her most recent “lumie chrome” set has instantly become a must-have for my winter 2024 moodboard.
Taking to Instagram to reveal her latest nail art, Saweetie’s “lumie chrome” manicure is a captivating display of shiny, Lumie Chrome. The nails boast a super subtle pink hue that radiates an ethereal glow, thanks to the chrome topper. Temeka Jackson, Saweetie’s trusted nail artist, spilled the details on the process, starting with a coat of The Gel Bottle’s Blanc, followed by Riya’s Nails Unicorn Chrome 1. To achieve the luminous effect, Jackson applied a layer of Social Claws Lumi Chrome powder, resulting in a breathtakingly luminous baby pink shade.
The nostalgic vibe of the manicure takes me back to the early ’90s, reminiscent of frosty, magical, holographic pastel shades that adorned everything from Barbies and My Little Ponies to stickers and Trapper Keepers. Saweetie, perhaps channeling a touch of childhood nostalgia, coordinated her manicure with a pink sweater, exuding the sweetest vibes.
Completing the look, Saweetie paired her “lumie chrome” nails with attention-grabbing platinum blonde hair and a matching silvery eyeshadow strategically placed at the outer corner of her eye, catching the light from her camera. It’s a full-on Icy Grl transformation, perfectly timed for the coldest part of winter.
These “lumie chrome” tips are yet another standout addition to Saweetie’s already legendary manicure collection. From tiny portraits of Betty Boop to nails adorned with actual $100 bills, her collaboration with Jackson continues to deliver major nail inspiration. Let’s not forget her playful Halloween nod to ultra-long nails when she dressed up as Edward Scissorhands with a matching manicure. With the year just beginning, we can expect Saweetie to grace us with plenty more stunning manicure moments in the months to come.
