While Beyoncé is busy gearing up to deliver her Act II: Cowboy Carter album this week, Bey made some time to show Nicki Minaj appreciation for her thoughtful gift.
Queen Bey sent her “Flawless (Remix)” collaborator a heartfelt handwritten card thanking Minaj for gifting her some Pink Friday Nails.
“Onika, I just received your nail collection and I love them. Thank you so much for thinking of me and congratulations on your launch and the tour. Love, Beyoncé,” the card read.
Nicki reposted Beyoncé’s card and flowers to her Instagram Story and X on Wednesday night (March 27). “Barbz, #PinkFridayNails are Queen approved,” Minaj gushed. “Thank you Beyoncé .
The Queens icon used her “Feeling Myself” collaboration with Beyoncé to soundtrack the Story post. The Pinkprint anthem co-written by SZA is multi-platinum and cracked the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 with a peak of No. 39.
The Beyhive and Barbz also lent their stamps of approval to the sisterhood on X. “I’m here for this friendship Two queens i Stan,” one fan wrote.
Bey’s Cowboy Carter finds the Destiny’s Child alum tapping into country roots, with the tracklist — which arrived Wednesday — hinting at potential appearances by country icons Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.
As for Nicki, she’s still on the road as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which is set to invade the northeast with stops in Philadelphia, Newark, N.J., and Minaj’s hometown of New York City on tap for the rest of the week.
Her Pink Friday Nails arrived earlier in March, and the press-on nail sets are inspired by Nicki’s real-life manicure routine. The nail sets come in four shapes: stiletto, coffin, square and almond with a range of sizes from short to XXL.
“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, quaility press-on nails,” said Minaj in a press statement. “Pink Friday Nails are the actual nails I wear designed by my actual nail tech. And I have very small nail beds, so normally, press-ons are way too big and don’t hit the same. Our nails come from short to the longest length I wear, in all shapes, all sizes and polishes.”
