Sha’Carri Richardson has a stylish personality, and now she is revealing her biggest glam moments. In a brand new collaboration with Sprite, Richardson was spotted flaunting her stylish curls and nails. While doing so, Richardson detailed how she loved to get her hair and nails done. The US Track sensation also mentioned that she enjoyed sitting back and getting all the attention as the makeup artists treated her as the canvas. 

As the seconds rolled, Richardson explored her first experience with fashion. She stated that it was during one of her school photographs when her big mama did her hair to make her look perfect for the occasion. Richardson further mentioned that it was when her youngest aunt took her to get her nails done, she was truly mesmerized. Sha’Carri Richardson remembered that her nails had pink hues with cheetah prints on them. 

And since then, she has been hooked on her nails. Reflecting on the same, Richardson stated, “Yeah that was a moment, but that was the first time and from there I was hooked on my nails. Nails have always been my art, like they have always had my attention.” However, this was not the only instance of Sha’Carri Richardson embracing fashion. Infact, following in the tracks of Florence Griffith Joyner, Richardson has brought a new wave of fashion in the track and field realm.

Echoing confidence, Richardson mentioned, “I want to show you guys that I am still that girl, but I am better. I am still that girl, but I am stronger. I am still that girl, but I am wiser. So I had to shed old and present new.”
