If there’s one color I always associate with summer, it’s aqua blue—the color of bright blue skies, swimming pools, and ocean waves. It feels so fresh and vibrant on a sunny day and perks up a rainy afternoon. Cardi B must agree, because the Am I the Drama? rapper is currently wearing a manicure that is the exact shade of a shimmering pool.
Cardi’s turquoise nails popped up in an Instagram Story on July 23 and they instantly brightened my mood. Her nails were in her preferred shape, long with squared-off coffin-shaped tips, and painted the prettiest, brightest shade of aqua—just a simple, stunning summer color as tantalizing as an empty pool on a hot day. This is the shade you get before a vacation to shift your brain into beach mode, to cheer yourself up in the dark winter, or when you’re looking for something that feels as fun and flirty as a cute sundress. And doesn’t it look so good against her bright red hair?
