Cardi B is disappointed in Bernie Sanders' nail maintenance
Cardi B's trademark long, acrylic nails "are typically adorned with around 500 crystals," so you know she has high standards when it comes to ungual upkeep. Still, during a Tuesday interview with former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders — whom Cardi B fondly refers to as "Uncle Bernie" — the rapper couldn't hide her dismay over her favorite senator's hands.
"I want you to take a look at my nails, how're they looking?" Sanders had asked when he signed onto the call, flashing his cuticles to the camera. Cardi wrinkled her nose, replying that they looked "very quarantine."
Did you get that, Bernie? Glue on some Swarovski crystals, and get back to us.
