Right on the last day of March, Cardi B made us stop in our tracks with the bright red, bandana-printed hair she debuted to promote new music. But just a few days after that on April 3, she took a brief hiatus from social media after fans harassed her for not attending the Grammys. That break was short-lived, because the Bronx rapper has returned to Instagram to show out with her latest beauty look: a blonde-highlighted lob and extremely long robin's egg blue nails.

On April 14, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper debuted the new hair and nails via an Instagram carousel. Her brunette lob fell just below her shoulders in big barrel curls. These blonde highlights were subtle and blended seamlessly into the dark short cut. Her hair was parted on the side with a few baby hairs to complete the look. 

Her long pastel nails can be clearly seen in the first photo. They were shaped into a super sharp stiletto point — a shape the star loves — and covered with a light blue hue that looks serene.

In addition to this new hair, the rapper gave fans the first look at her baby boy, Wave, who she gave birth to in September 2021. She posted two photos of the adorable infant who basically looks like Kulture's twin.

Leave it to Cardi B to leave social media and come back to bless us with a new beauty look and the cutest photos of her babies. She rarely disappoints in the beauty realm, so we're excited to see what more she has cooking for us for the rest of the year.
