Fans of an ultra-long nail will be familiar with the devastating feeling when one breaks. One of life’s great levelers, it’s no different for celebrities – as Billie Eilish knows too well. The singer shared an Instagram Story revealing the lamentable state of her painstakingly cultivated mani: a single, ragged-edged nail visible amidst an otherwise pristine set of nude squovals.
Eilish revealed she had broken her nail not by tapping a keyboard too ferociously, or accidentally catching it on her clothes. Her manicure fell victim to an unexpected culinary mishap. “Was trying to bite my garlic bread and bit my nail instead,” she wrote.
Truly a woman after our own hearts, Eilish’s mani malfunction came as she was enjoying a universally delicious delicacy, and one that demands an enthusiastic bite – evidence of which comes in the form of the damage caused. A worthwhile sacrifice for glorious, garlicky goodness. A nail can be fixed, but garlic bread is for life.
