Rihanna strikes again. The singer turned cosmetics guru covered the September issue of Garage Magazine in a pink floral blouse and gold, embellished, perfectly manicured claws.

Here are 6 women who are known for their flamboyant nails.

Legendary gold medalist Florence Joyner, better known as Flo Jo, did not allow the Olympics to stop her nail game. While running track and field, her nail length ranged from 4-6 inches. Most athletes strayed from such fashion choices, but Flo Jo did what she wanted, boldly and unapologetically.

Cardi B

Cardi B‘s nails are an entire mood. The new mom took a short break from her luxurious claws during the birth of her daughter, Kulture. As soon as she was cleared to get her nails done, she came through drippin’!
