Party Nails

Party Nails

Party Nails is the name used by New York artist Elana Belle Carroll. The project is based in New York and begins in 2014. Carroll comes up with the name while living in Brooklyn shortly after graduating from college, after noticing a group of girls painting their nails before going out and connecting that image with the idea of getting ready for a party.

Party Nails makes pop-led music with disco influences, and the songs pair catchy, charismatic vocals and sharp hooks with lyrics that often come from a more intimate and sometimes darker place. One example is “Break”, which Carroll describes as being about the point in a relationship when collapse feels inevitable, but there is still regret and apology.
