Artist Statement: These are part of my efforts to provide cheap, traditionally “ghetto” nail art. They’re long, flashy, bright, and blinged out, which are ways that black women wore their nails in the 90s-2000s, and received scrutiny for. Making and selling flashy nails like this is apart of my reclamation of MY blackness, and dismantling what respectability politics has done to bastardize Black American culture.
