On today’s episode of artists going on to become business moguls, iconic singer Nicki Minaj has launched her press-on nail enterprise. The brand is a collaboration between the singer and her personal nail artist, Yvett Garcia, who designed the false nail sets.
With a price range of $20–$25, according to Nicki Minaj, the brand aims to bridge the gap between cheaper, lower-quality brands and low-quality press-on nails sold for outrageous prices.
“When I became a mom, I couldn’t spend as much time getting my nails done as when I only had to worry about me, so it became a necessity to create fly, quality press-on nails. I told my team when we started Pink Friday Nails that if I don’t want to wear them, I’m not going to even attempt to sell them because our customers aren’t stupid,” Nicki Minaj remarked.
