Meet The Woman Behind Megan Thee Stallion’s Iconic Nails

I took a 2-month break from acrylics this summer. Devastating, I know. During that time I continued to gather inspo, ensuring I was prepared for my grand return to nail girlie world last week. My “saved” folder on Instagram has been a mix of the greatest hits from my local nail salon and of many of Megan Thee Stallion’s iconic sets, including the Halloween nails I referenced for my birthday last year. Now that I’m familiar with the woman who makes it all happen, BRB — I have to get my scroll on. Thank you, Coca Michelle!

After exploring Lil’ Kim and Marc Jacobs’ friendship timeline last month, it’s only fair that we dive deeper into her influence on the fashion world as a whole. A model! A muse! A woman of taste! She and equally iconic stylist Misa Hylton have set the tone for decades now, and without them, many of our favorite rap girls simply would not exist. All hail the original Queen Bee!
