While
the odds of getting a handmade python and
iguana bodysuit are about the same as playing in the Superbowl, Beyoncé’s
halftime manicure is much more accessible. In fact, you could even do it
yourself: Beyoncé’s nails came courtesy of a set of printed gold Minx.
Nail
artist Lisa
Logan—who’s done many manicures
for Queen Bey—flew down to New Orleans the week before the big game to set up
nail shop for Beyoncé’s entire team. The backup dancers were given long
extensions, covered in almost-reflective gold Minx while Beyoncé opted for a
matte gold chevron print. (Due to the amazing video choreography sequences
throughout the performance, all nails had to be finalized in advance so they
could be filmed.)
Also,
diva debunking alert: Logan applied the Minx a whole week before the actual
Superbowl performance! That’s right, Beyoncé wore the same set of Minx during
last Thursday’s NFL press conference that she did during halftime. We think this
speaks to Minx’s durability even more than it does to Beyoncé’s easy-going
attitude. Because really, you know she wouldn’t settle for performing with an
even slightly-chipped manicure.
