Netta - I Love My Nails

Netta releases “I Love My Nails” (via S-Curve/Hollywood Records), an anthem that rivals her Eurovision-winning breakout hit “Toy” in pure unbridled passion and empowerment. Inspired initially by a bout of deep heartbreak, Netta uses her passion for her nails as a metaphor for the things in our lives that remind us of who we are. It’s a triumphant reclamation of the things we do just for ourselves that get us back on our feet when we are at our lowest.

 

Of the song, Netta said “Loving your nails is about loving yourself. Painting and building my nails is self-care for me. It’s my color therapy. It helped me this year with rejection and put the color back in my life. I paint a picture of myself on them. I put my heart on my sleeve, they say, so I put mine on my nails.”

 

She added, “When I was young, I used to go with my mother to the beauty salon. Beauticians are the best therapists, if you didn’t know. The process of building her nails was actually about building herself once again every week. This ritual became her medicine for her, and I guess it runs in the family. Show up for you. Love your nails. Love yourself.”

 

Netta recently came stateside for two sold-out shows in New York and LA respectively. She also is set to appear and perform at Chicago Pride Fest on June 18,  The Foundry (Philly) on June 22, Union Stage (DC) on June 23 and NYC Pride on June 25 over the next few months.
