I've seen a lot of insane nail designs in my day, including but not limited to manicures featuring chrome overlays, 3D charms, and literal pieces of art, but nothing will ever top the candle nails that Christina Aguilera showed off during a concert visual.
On Oct. 1, Aguilera shared a TikTok video that features a behind-the-scenes look at some visuals that were included in one of her past shows. "What you see [versus] what you don't," she captioned it. Certain parts of the video show the singer wearing nails that appear to be on fire. It may look like it's the work of good editing (because a manicure with literal flames coming out of it sounds like a logistical nightmare) until the behind-the-scenes footage shows the singer on set filming the visuals while a member of her crew actually lights her nails on fire. For a brief moment, she struggles to blow the flames out, but when she does, you can see that she's wearing nude nails with tiny wicks attached to the tips, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that no acrylic or gel was harmed in the making of the video.
