We all saw the amazing performance put on by Kendrick Lamar . I've seen some comments on the halftime show and some people called it boring . But for those of you that thought that, didn't really catch the message in the halftime show . If you know Kendrick Lamar then you know he is always intentional .
KENDRICK LAMAR UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!
The halftime show wasn't just entertainment , It was a message . Like Kendrick made a statement with his performance, the same energy can be brought to your manicure. Because nails, they are not just a beauty statement. Our nails express how we feel!

It’s in the details ,just like your nails!
Each song represented something powerful . Each prop ,down to the lights symbolized something meaningful. Your nails can tell a story too! Think bold colors, symbolic designs, and intentional art.

Everything he showcased was intentional. The Playstation Game Controller, Game Over Lights
SZA and Serena Williams and The flag divided and more. Kendrick used the platform he had and didn’t disappoint!
This blogpost was inspired by my client @brnsugrbeauty on instagram who shared her thoughts on Kendrick’s performance. She reminded me that music, like nails, isn’t just about looking good ”it’s about making a statement . Here is what she shared and posted on her story that made me want to write about this !

Here's a little bit of what my client had to say
@brnsugrbeauty:
"Well since you asked! ☺️
“Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance was a powerful, revolutionary moment in music and culture. “
“Kendrick not only captivated the audience but also used his platform unapologetically”
“Through his art, Kendrick reminds us of the responsibility artists have to use their influence”
"He elevated the the voices of the oppressed ,bringing attention to the critical issues of systemic racism ,inequality and social justice ."
“I knew he would use the opportunity to capitalize on a statement! And boy did he ever!!!”
He’s legendary !”
Kendrick Lamar understood the assignment, and so can you. Through music, fashion, or nails never underestimate the power of self-expression.

Remember,It's not just a manicure!
