*Since welcoming her first child with rapper Offset, Cardi B has had to forego those sharp, highly artful faux nails she adores rocking, as they’re not terribly practical when you’re handling a baby.
Kulture Kiari Cephus was born on July 10, and the Bronx rapper said she’s had to undergo a mama manicure ever since. Cardi shared the beauty update with fans on Tuesday.
Ok so if you noticed i changed my nail shape from pointy to square so i won’t hurt my baby. I’m thinking about only changing my pinky nail shape back to pointy so i can take my babies little boogers out?

Her latest social media posts show her nails are still long but she’s switched it up from pointy-to-square.

Two days before giving birth, Cardi commented on the over-the-top nails of Puerto Rican singer-rapper Ivy Queen, and noted: “how I’m going to manage after my baby comes.”
Cardi’s longtime manicurist, Jenny Bui, told Refinery29 that “nothing is changing” about her 2-inch acrylics.
Meanwhile, the BBC noted that multiple studies have concluded that fingernails harbor bacteria, with long artificial nails containing more bacteria than natural nails.
As reported by yahoo.com: “The Infectious Disease Society of America also found that nails — both natural and artificial — that extend more than 3 millimeters past the fingertip contain more dangerous bacteria and yeast than short nails, and could spread infections. The 2001 study was linked to a deadly outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit.”
