Ice Spice is fully embracing a controversial Y2K nail trend. The rap girlie recently showcased the revived "Duck Nails," which have gained popularity among Gen-Z, during her hyped performance as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Stepping out after her appearance on "SNL," the artist certainly hit the after party scene with an all-denim ensemble that paid homage to the iconic style of "around the way" girls from the early 2000s in poppin' cities like New York. This grungy sartorial nod to a bygone era showcased her ability to blend nostalgia with a modern twist effortlessly. But it wasn't just the denim that caught everyone's attention — the starlet took her lewk to the next level by flaunting a set of XL duck nails, a departure from her usual preference for coffin nails.

Spice's manicure was designed to complement her overall aesthetic and featured a sheer pink base that fed into French tips that were delicately painted in a delightful shade of light brown milk chocolate. And to further accentuate the elegance, the nails were adorned with silver gems, serving that Bronx-approved razzle-dazzle.

From Lizzo to Saweetie, duck nails have been on the horizon and the Rap Princess of The Bronx, Ice Spice shows that there are no signs of the trend slowing down.
