Video Premiere: Kid Sister [ft. Kanye West]: "Pro Nails"

In which up-and-coming Chicago MC Kid Sister shows her hometown pal Kanye West and mutual friend A-Trak what truly professional nail technique is all about. Pitchfork news reported on this video shoot back in October, the same month Kid Sister rocked CMJ, but the stills they posted can't prepare you for the visual spectacle of the real thing. This is truly an education for those unfamiliar with the present state of the manicurist's art, the walls of the studio crammed with an endlessly colorful rainbow of polishes and tips. "Did you see the way she got her toes did?", Kanye asks; and, of course, her fingernails are matching. Then, to top it all off, we get dancing hands done up with footwear. Ruben Fleischer directs.

[from the "Pro Nails" single; Kid Sister's debut album is due in 2008; both on Fool's Gold.
