The nail community is going wild right now over the nail salon representation in @badbunnypr Super Bowl halftime show! I’m popping in to tell you what it was like to be called in as the local SF nail artist to manicure some of his lovely musicians and dancers.

Well, it was literally a dream come true. And when I was given the info that there was a scene with nails being done as part of the show I screamed inside because that is a huge deal for the community and for the culture. I kept quiet and prepped as best as I could for anything and everything that could come up. Elaborate, stunning custom press-on nails were shipped from an artist in LA @masterweenay, but unfortunately last minute decisions were made by production that they would not be used. So I went with neutral glam, sparkly looks that could match the earth tones of the set and be executed quickly.

It was hectic behind the scenes as you could imagine. But the energy leading up to the show and after the show was electric and the performers and crew were so pumped, ecstatic and emotional. Overall very, very good vibes!

How did I land this job? It wasn’t just luck at that point. I’ve been doing nails and running a salon for more than 12 years and I have worked on many sets, ads and celebrities. Early on, I took mostly all the jobs that came my way and did my best to be professional, prepared and ready for anything. Over time, I have built a reputation as a go-to manicurist for Bay Area shoots and performers. If you are looking to get into this kind of work, you have to be flexible and ok with uncertainty of dates, times, locations etc. Things can change quickly and you need to be ready with your kit stocked and the attitude of gratitude. It’s not for everyone and it’s not my primary job, but man it has taken me to some fucking amazing places…like this history making Super Bowl performance by Bad Bunny!

Much love to all the nail techs around the world and in every neighborhood. I want you all to win and experience whatever you dream of in this industry!

Thank you @jennartist for finding me!
