This photo does not represent the original image of the nails — they were #shiny, perfectly shaped, vibrant in color. She’s wearing the therealrahdigga trio #ClassicFuchsia, launching September 11th. 💅🏾 I did the nails for the opening of the brilliantly done book Ice Cold by vikkitobak — a masterpiece featuring 150 iconic hip hop artists and the way jewelry shaped the culture (or maybe the culture shaped the jewels 💎). The woman whose face you can’t see? She’s the beautiful, loyal, and smart queen behind hip hop legend Slick Rick. And let’s be real — behind every great man is always a brilliant woman. Funny how life lines things up… I grew up hanging out in the Bronx. My first boyfriend lived there. Yonkers right next door. Slick Rick was right around the corner. The universe always has its plan. Fast forward 20 years, I get the call from mandyaragones — I said HELL YEAH before I even asked the rate. Because sometimes it’s bigger than the money (and between us, I would’ve done it for free). So there we were, doing #nailart in the middle of a Yonkers snowstorm. I called my sis teeraeinc at sachivip — she said say less. We bonded. We built. We did it. Now tell me again… who said nails ain’t hip hop? Who said I didn’t spearhead it? If there’s a jewelry book, then maybe it’s time for my nail book. 😉 #HipHopHistory #IceColdBook #SlickRick #HipHopNails #BernadetteThompson #classicfuchsia #boomboxnailkit took me two years to create the esthetic and 30 years of experience 2025-08-17 19:16:12 .. 0 - 0 -100%

Do you know how many people, and how many millions of dollars, it took to create this ad campaign? And on Louis Vuitton’s 100th anniversary, they trusted me to bring in some ghetto fabulous #nails for a brand that was always high-end, high-level. Do you understand the kind of trust they placed in me to do that? This campaign went very well, At the time, they didn’t have ready-to-wear. No sneakers, no hoodies, no coats. None of it. That all came after these ads. So when you’re rockin’ your Louis Vuitton today, just know—a #blackwoman #manicurist from Yonkers, Bernadette Thompson, helped create this cultural shift with a nail file and some #nailpolish #teamworkmakethedreamwork I helped open the doors for the amazing #virgilabloh for #MarcJacobs , for #Pharrell , and for the Ready-to-Wear line you see today. We won’t even talk about how that trickled down into the rest of the #fashion industry 🖤 2025-08-16 10:41:07 Do you kno.. 0 - 4 +16%
The Birth of the Louis Vuitton #Nails 💅🏾 Prrrrrrrr let the r roll off your 👅 The first time the Paris-based French #fashion house ever did a photo shoot in the U.S., they were launching a limited-edition #luxury bag collection in collaboration with #designers. I got the call after #photographers lesguzman guzman met me on the set of Total’s album cover and asked me to do the #nails. When I arrived, they told me they wanted beige nails. Now, listen… when I was 14, I worked at Wendy’s, saved six paychecks just to buy my first real #LouisVuitton bag. There was no way on God’s green earth I was going to work with a brand I’d admired for years and do “some beige nails.” Instead, I matched the nails to the limited-edition bags themselves—creating the very first monogram Louis Vuitton nails. And just like that, a fashion moment was born. #nailedit #nailart #knowyourhistory 😉 2025-08-16 02:25:26 .. 0 - 3 -13%
II know I’m taking my time, but perfection can’t be rushed — and trust me, this isn’t just another product drop. Every time I create something, it ends up making history, and the Boom Box Nail Kit will be no exception. My DMs have been blowing up with, “Is the Boom Box happening or not?!” 😬 Oh, it’s happening. And when it does, it’s going to be the most iconic, collectible, jaw-dropping release of the century. The kind of piece you don’t just buy — you own. The wait will be worth every second. #nails #nailart #nailkit #museums #hiphop 2025-08-15 05:37:10 II.. 0 - 3 -13%
Throwback to when Jay-Z’s #magazine #editionmodlux honored me with a six-page spread celebrating my work and my 30-year career. The story opened with the words: “Bernadette Thompson, the living legend.” The very first issue — featuring the amazing Issa Rae on the cover — was released as a limited-edition book. We celebrated during #Art #artbasel #miami with an unforgettable #party at the Ritz-Carlton, where Jay-Z’s team built me a custom nail booth that stole the show — #nail station was busy from start to finish. Shout out to my team #nailartist From working with icons like Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Lil’ Kim, and Beyoncé juneambrose 🫶🏾 to being honored in this way… it’s a moment I’ll treasure forever. 🖤 2025-08-15 03:30:38 .. 0 - 10 +191%

First black owned #nail company in history, first to bring these ladies to high end fashion. Never in history were female #hip hop #rappers in a high end fashion magazine before I pitched it. #trendsetter in and outside of nails. No thank you necessary.

No one else can do it like this—because no one else did it first. Introducing the Hip Hop Trios, a limited-edition nail color collection that matches the new Hip Hop merch. Each shade was worn by the iconic women who built the foundation of hip hop style—styled by Bernadette Thompson herself. From red carpets to magazine covers, Bernadette set trends that still dominate today. These aren’t just colors—they’re cultural moments bottled up and ready for your fingertips. And for the first time ever, you can wear the colors and the merch that tells the story. This is legacy. This is fashion. This is hip hop. Supplies are limited. Get the trios. Get the merch. Own the moment. Www.bernadettethompson.com 2025-08-03 23:46:36 No one else can.. 0 - 2 -42%
I’ve been really quiet for a long time. Too quiet. I’ve seen people win with doors I kicked open. I created a lane for nail artists to do shoots, bring nail art into high fashion, and get real contracts. I’ve always stayed humble… maybe too humble. But let’s be clear: I helped build this industry. From iconic sets to trendsetting art that shaped the culture—I’ve done the work. Decades of it. Now I’m putting 30 years of experience into something I did completely by myself. Concept. #Packaging #Design #Product #Story #Art #legacy 🔥 The Boom Box Nail Collection drops August 9 at the Hip Hop Museum. 🔥 It’s more than a product. It’s a piece of history. 🔥 Pre-orders available . Be smart. Be early. There’s not a single person on this planet who could recreate the memories, influence, and legacy that’s in this box. Period. 📍Don’t get left behind watching others shine with what you could’ve locked in early. #BoomBoxNails #BernadetteThompson #Project21 #HipHopMuseum #NailArtLegend #NailGameOG #PreOrder #CardiBOutside #cardib #NailArtHistory #SilverNails #GrillzAndGloss #nails #nailart #chromenails #90snails #hiphopnails #nailtech #popup party #music #iconic #femalehiphop #girls #moneynails 2025-07-04 23:54:12 .. 0 - 9 +162%
I’ve done #nails for the biggest icons in the world. My work lives in #MoMA ( not visits, LIVES like one mediocre #editor once wrote) and is headed to another major #museum soon. I’ve been steps away from legends—literally sharing gallery space with one of the greatest minds in human history. And yet… my own sons don’t even believe half of what I’ve done. 😂 Maybe it’s because I’ve been so emotionally detached from my own success, I forgot to be impressed with myself. Or maybe it’s because I went 12 years without #sex. One or the other. 🫠 I turned down a third museum—kindness is not weakness. Lesson learned. But yes, I’m ready to feel again. It’s time. I want sex, soul, and stories that don’t live in a press release. If you know, you know. 💅🏽 Now why did I just spend two hours doing my hair knowing I #swim 1.2 miles everyday M-F. #EmotionalDetachment #NailArtInMuseums #CreativeBurnout #SexIsBack #MuseumButMakeItMoan #ArtAndIntimacy #BernadetteThompson 2025-06-27 17:38:24 .. 0 - 7 +103%

#NailPolish Idea: The Plus-One #Pedicure #Black is always edgy on its own, but you can make it anything but basic by painting one toe a different #color . Prep #nails by wiping them clean with #nailpolishremover first. We like Bernadette Thompson #WipeOut Nail Polish Remover, which does the job, minus a harsh chemical smell. Then try Thompson’s trick for dark shades: “They tend to run, so leave a little space near the cuticle,” she says. And to extend the life of your pedi, paint the top edge of your nails too. For #toes that are black, white and chic all over, we like B’s Nail Colour in Black #macktress and white #desire .

My trip to the #thhm thhmuseum was amazing!!! I got a personal tour and a surprise I wasn’t even expecting. I think I’m gonna like it here #hiphop #history Never thought hip hop would make it this far. There was s a pop up store under the 145th street bridge across from the new museum. Opening soon. You can still purchase hip hop memorabilia from the pop up. Everyone should own a piece of hip hop history.
