I know that's right. I know that's right.

I know that's right.

I love 3D Nails.

Hey Allure, it is Saweetie

and today, we will be playing I Know That's Right.

[upbeat music]

Frosty eyelids.

[Button] I know that's right.

I love frosty eyelids

'cause it just gives your eyelids that lift.

You know, you don't gotta see the doctor.

You can just go into your makeup kit and pull the eyes back.

So definitely the frosty eyelid.

Frosty, Icy Girl makes sense.

Red light therapy.

Have y'all seen Final Destination?

[Button] I know that's wrong.

[laughs]

I would be so scared to be in a red light therapy case

'cause I seen that movie

and you know what happens to them girls so no.

I mean if I wore it then.

[Button] I know that's right.

The Best Friend music video was so much fun.

I remember I tricked my friends

and I let them think that I shaved all my hair off.

They eventually caught me because I went live

and I turned around and a piece of my real hair

was sticking out so didn't get away with it.

Other than that, I love,

I mean I don't know what you call that,

I love that little artsy moment I had with Doja

where we had like the tweed two-pieces on.

I loved it. Like it was either you hate it or you loved it.

I love taking risks and I wanted to try it for that video.

Natural Nails. Hmm?

[Button] I know that's wrong.

I feel like if you have to get natural nails

for like jobs then that's cool.

But I feel like nails are like therapy.

It's a way of expressing your personality,

who you are internally.

So I'm all for, you know, nail design.

But you know, do what you gotta do,

if you gotta keep it natural.

Honestly to keep your nails healthy and strong,

I think Sally's Beauty Supply has like this oil you can put

in between the ridges.

It fills them in and then you cure it with like a top coat

and it like makes your nails strong and healthy.

And then keep them short

while you're like making them strong.

Because if they're like long and flimsy,

you're gonna continue to break them

Nails 101, baby.

Modern mullets, oh.

[Button] I know that's right.

I love me a mullet.

I think the first time I wore one was in Best Friend.

It just gives me like Sex on Fire,

Kings of Leon vibes, you know.

I like that vibe every now and then.

So it's a definite yes for me.

[Producer] What do you think about mullets on men?

Mullets on men?

Well if it look like him, it's a yes for me.

Maximalism.

[Button] I know that's right.

I love it. It is sexy. It's sultry.

It's like Where you at? type of makeup, you know.

I mean when it's time to get your like latte, kombucha,

we love the clean girl aesthetic

so shout out to them too.

Neck filler. They do that?

A neck filler.

For me, live your best life.

[Button] I know that's wrong.

I would be scared, you know.

I ain't got nothing against, you know, the knife

or the syringes, but a neck filler?

I'd be like [gags]

[laughs]

I play too much.

Soon as that needle come next to my neck, I'm ticklish.

I'll start laughing. So no.

Oh, I got neck lines.

So honestly I just gotta, you know, figure it out.

But I'm scared of that so.

[Button] I know that's wrong.

Like I said.

2021 Met Gala. Aw, I love this.

[Button] I know that's right.

So the whole like meaning behind the Met Gala,

full Swarovski dress,

it was to show American Heritage,

so I did my African American side and my Filipino side

and I put both flags on my body.

So I was really proud to just show

where I came from and my heritage,

draped in Swarovski crystals.

Honestly, girl, we mixed like baby oil, we mixed glitter,

we mix lotion.

It was like a whole concoction.

We rubbed our hands together

and we just put it all over my body.

I wanted to look like a glazed donut.

The hair was pulled back.

Oh, that was actually a wig.

In order to achieve that like tiny bob,

we had to braid my hair down, put a U part wig on,

and then slick it back.

So he did a really good job on that.

[gasps]

[Button] I know that's wrong. I know that's wrong.

Who the hell created the stiletto toes?

That is a mm-mm. Call the police.

What's that, that child book? It's like-

[Producer] Where the Wild Things Are?

Yeah, Where the Wild Things Are

Like who wanna put stiletto?

Like unless you go into like war,

you finna fight somebody, you need like an extra weapon.

But like stiletto toes.

Oh my gosh, I would be scared to walk anywhere.

You know, I get my toes clean.

I like a white tip toes and some bling on top.

That's the Icy Girl pedicure.

That just made my stomach hurt.

[laughs]

3D nails.

[Button] I know that's right. I know that's right.

I know that's right.

I love 3D nails.

3D nails is like a road trip though.

It takes like four to 6, 7, 8 hours.

But if you got a really good nail tech

who's like a perfectionist

and can get every detail right,

it takes that long.

So if you want the like quick, you know,

whatever you wanna call it nails, it'll take you less.

But the real, nice, detailed, long 3D nails,

it's gonna take you a couple hours.

So get your favorite Netflix show ready,

call your bestie, call your boo

'cause you're gonna sit there for a while.

[Producer] What's the longest set that you've ever gotten?

Probably for my birthday.

I got like triple X nails

and I actually threw a baseball with it.

So can't stop a girl with some long nails.

Oh, a bust down middle part.

[Button] I know that's right.

I love me a bust down middle part.

And you know you gotta do the hair test.

If your hair don't,

that's not a bust down middle part, baby.

You gotta get the super silky press

and like I said, you gotta do the challenge

because if that hair don't go like this,

it's not a real bust down middle part.

Go back to the chair.

2022 Grammy awards.

Oh wow, we did three looks that day.

[Button] I know that's right.

So they told me that I wouldn't be able to change

for the carpet because there was no trailers

and I said No problem, I'm gonna go in the car.

I mean we had sheets up,

there was no privacy, the fans was right there.

I was really nervous to show up to the carpet

with my hair that short, not because it was just a new look.

When you cut your hair you're constantly thinking like,

What's behind me?

You just feel like somebody following you

or you just feel so naked back there.

So the fact that I was going to a public event

with all of those cameras with my hair short,

I was really nervous.

That was one of the reasons why I cut my hair

'cause I wanted to release a lot of energy.

I thought that I'd be able to like start over

but honestly, I still had more problems so.

[laughs]

It did not resolve what I thought it was gonna resolve.

But it was definitely the start of a new journey for me.

Oh yes.

[Button] I know that's right.

I love screen printed wigs.

It's like, it's like the 3D art nail version of like hair.

'Cause it's like you're putting so much personality

into like these designs.

So I love me a 3D printed wig moment.

My favorite screen printed wig on me

was the one I wore for Coachella.

It was like the Powderpuff Girl heart on the back.

It was real cute.

2018 BET awards.

Aw, my little stiff wig.

[laughs]

I mean for the time being like I was really happy, but now-

[Button] I know that's wrong.

I mean I couldn't really afford like the 100%,

I don't know if it was all human hair,

whatever you want to call it.

But that was, it was a stiff wig, you know.

I think that was like my fourth or fifth time wearing it.

It was cute though. It was a moment.

Micro bangs. Oh yes.

I mean this is just too easy.

[Button] I know that's right.

I love micro bangs.

It's like, it gives Edna Mode

and we all love Edna Mode, you know.

Super fashion, super cute.

And I think it just gives you like the edge.

You can be wearing like a fashion outfit.

You can be wearing sweats, a tank top.

Whatever you're doing,

it just automatically puts you

in the ring of being a fashion girl.

So I love me a micro bang.

All right y'all,

I had so much fun playing. I Know That's Right.

I hope you did too.

Thank you so much, Allure.

And I will see y'all later, bye.
