In case you missed it, Rihanna's halftime performance during the Super Bowl LVII has been a hot topic of discussion this week. We couldn't help but notice her gorgeous red mani, created by celebrity nail artist Kimmie Kyees. Over 100 million viewers (from the U.S. along) tuned in to the big game. Rihanna hasn't performed solo in front of a live audience in seven years, so this was a highly anticipated performance. Her now-iconic red outfit, complete with a manicure to match, will be a memorable one for the books.
"We wanted the nails to pop, so we went with CND's Devil Red, which is the perfect true red that really complements her tone. The longer length square shaped tips also beautifully lengthened her hands while still staying true to the classic look."
- Kimmie Kyees, Celebrity Nail Artist
