Presidential Manicures

Rihanna Rocks Obama's Face on Her Fingernails

The drop-dead gorgeous pop singer Rihanna joined the legions of President Obama admirers who have emblazoned the Prez’s image on some part of their body. The 20-year-old singer’s choice to express her allegiance was to have Obama’s face clearly painted on one of her fingernails.

Rihanna had a mini replica of Shepard Fairey’s now-famous portrait of President Obama perfectly manicured on her pinky from talented artisans at Minx Nails. She showed off the look in late January during her NFL Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Concert at the Ford Ampitheatre, located within the Florida State Fairgrounds.
