Saweetie:It’s exciting.

I remember growing up, I think my favorite SinfulColors [shades] were the hot pink and turquoise.

I would do hot pink on one hand and then turquoise on the other.

So it’s definitely a full circle childhood moment.

Allure:What are some of your favorite products from the brand?

Have you been wearing them in any recent looks we’ve seen?

Saweetie:Well, I’m excited about this new [Essenchills] nail line.

In quarantine, you’re able to’t really go to the nail shop, so it works out.

Allure:Do you have any favorite shades from the new scentedEssenchills collection?

Saweetie:So I think one of my favorites is the Coffee Drip.

I love the smell of coffee.

I never get tired of it, plus a brown will always go with something.

And then the Low-Key Lavender is really pretty as well.

Honestly [I love that color], the Chamomile Calm, the Eucalyptahhh, and Salt Bath Babe.

What I love about the Essenchills is that they’re colors that will go with every outfit.

Nothing is screaming too hard at you, and they smell really good.

That’s just very innovative.

But I can’t really pick my favorite.

They’re all my favorites.

Allure:I heard that you used to be a bit of a nail artist.

Can you tell me more?

When did you start loving nail art?

Then, I got a paintbrush.

I’d pour the paint out and do designs on my hands.

I remember in college trying to figure out new ways to make money.

Girls would come to my dorm and I would do designs on their nails.

Allure: Were you doing acrylics, regular gel manicures, or all of it?

Saweetie:No, I didn’t even know what gel was.

So I was just using regular nail polish.

I remember I had bought a whole bunch of gel colors because they’re really pretty.

I put it on and was wondering why it wasn’t drying.

I called I think Sally’s [Beauty Supply].

Allure:How has growing up in the Bay Area affected your love of nail art?

What’s the Bay Area aesthetic for nails?

Saweetie:I think the Bay Area aesthetic just comes from us thriving off of creativity.

We paint anything we can put our hands on.

I’ve always been super expressive because everyone’s trying to be unique in their own way.

Allure: So what’s your signature style for nail art?

What is the “Icy Girl” look?

Saweetie:I would definitely say long, coffin, with the C-curl at the tip.

I like it because it’s durable.

I’m really clumsy.

So if my nails are thin, they’ll break.

So I like them long, thick, and curved.

That sounds so wrong.[Laughs.]

Allure: What’s the process for coming up with your next set?

I remember you had this really cute pink graphic jelly nail set recently.

Where do these ideas come from?

Is it just you and your nail artist?

Do you just see something and you’re like, “I need that?”

Saweetie:Social media.

I was so happy to finally do that.

Allure:What are your top three nail looks of all time?

Allure: What is it like wearing those super long nails, especially thecurved ones?

Saweetie:Well, they’re definitely press-ons.

I think I would hurt myself because like I said, I’m so clumsy.

But I always feel like I survive.

Allure:Listen, you do what you got to do to eat.

You mentioned press-ons; are those the sets that you usually wear, or are they acrylics?

What do you typically prefer?

It’s a win-win.

Allure:Do you have any tips for keeping your manicure together?

So before you put on your press-ons, you have to clean your nail bed off with rubbing alcohol.

Allure:What’s in your nail art kit?

Saweetie:Some nail glue, just in case a stone or a nail pops off.

Allure: I know fans are obsessed with knowing each and every facet of your beauty game.

What are the staples in your makeup routine?

Saweetie:Definitely some lip gloss and someLaura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

I’m like a greasy girl.

I’m hella oily.

Blotting papers only do so much for me.

So definitely some lip gloss and some powder.

Allure:You are like the queen ofbaby hairs what do you use to lay those edges?

Saweetie:I think one of my go-tos is just [theKiss Edge Fixer Glued].

Can you give us some hints on what to expect?

Saweetie:I think that each collection will cater to the season it’s releasing.

I don’t want to say too much I don’t want to ruin the surprise.

So that’s what I will say: It caters to every season.

Lastly, what do you think will excite fans the most about this launch?

Saweetie:Definitely the campaign, the campaign is so dope.

The short nail girls need love too.
