Kylie Jenner is a beautiful girl through and through. Despite her obvious love of makeup (e.g. Kylie Cosmetics) and hair, she’s also a nail enthusiast. The 25-year-old has always been one to experiment with her manicures, and over the years she’s tried out a ton of fun nail colors, artwork, and accessories. Needless to say, Jenner is the perfect inspiration for your next hair appointment. Ahead, see Jenner’s 20 best nail moments.
Strawberry Milk Nail
Jenner debuted this trendy strawberry milk manicure at Coachella. Although she usually has long nails, she switched things up and chose short square nails. To create this manicure, apply two coats of creamy light pink nail polish as a base. Add a bit of shine with a high-gloss topcoat.
Cream enamel nails
Orange nails are perfect for spring and summer, and clearly, Jenner agrees as she recently debuted a cream manicure on Instagram. This look is the work of famous nail artist Zola Ganzorigt. She achieved that by applying a layer of semi-transparent orange jelly to Jenner’s medium-length square nails, covering them with a layer of chrome powder, then applying a coat of polish on top.
Chrome French nails
This set combines timeless French tips with today’s hot chrome trend. Celebrity nail artist Chaun Legend created this mani look using long almond-shaped nails and silver chrome polish.
Fresh French manicure
Legend added a pop to Jenner’s French manicure by painting the tips thick white instead of the traditional thin lines. He relied on The Gel Bottle Polishes ($19) in Marshmallow and Daisy to bring the look to life.
Orange Dew Drop Nails
We’re seeing three-dimensional water-inspired nail designs popping up everywhere. Jenner also followed the trend, opting for extremely long orange nails decorated with clear drops of varying sizes.
Multicolored swirl nails
These nails prove there’s no such thing as too much color. Legend painted unique vibrant swirls on each of Jenner’s nails, creating a stunning “abstract art” mani.
Murakami flower nails
With this look, Legend was inspired by Takashi Murakami’s smiling flower artwork. He started by painting Jenner’s extra-long square nails a neutral color and then hand-painted each multicolored flower.
Polka dot nails
This mismatched polka dot manicure is super playful. We love that each nail offers something different—some have a French tip while others have a sturdy base.
Abstract nail art
This is one of Jenner’s most interesting manis to date. This set uses line and color in an abstract and artistic way.
Dripping Pink Nails
Jenner took inspiration from Kylie Cosmetics’ pink brand for this cool manicure. Naturally, the 3D jelly-like water droplets immediately caught our attention.
Chessboard nails
If you’re looking for the perfect manicure for summer vacation, look no further. These checkerboard tips are fresh and fun, featuring different colors on each nail.
Chrome Pink Nails
There are plenty of ways to get in on Jenner’s hot pink chrome and chrome trend
Nails dripping with pink polish
Instead of simple French tips, Legend gave Jenner pink tips reminiscent of paint drops. To create this look at home, use light pink polish as a base and dark pink on the tips.
Pearl French nails
French studded nails are becoming increasingly popular—and we love Jenner’s take on the trend. Her chic almond-shaped nails featured perfectly painted French accents and dainty pearls scattered across the base.
Dark Chrome nails
Take your chrome nails to the next level by adding 3D art. Jenner added bold, drippy details to each nail to elevate her look.
Aura Blob Nails
Aura nails have definitely made an appearance and Jenner is clearly a fan. We love how she tweaked the trend by placing miniature halo-like blobs of color on the tips of her nails. This look is perfect for all your spring and summer festivals.
Tri-Color Wave Nails
Jenner’s three-color wave nails are super eye-catching. Legend used red, pink, and peach paint to bring this look to life. The best part? Each nail has a different design.
Emerald Green Nails
Even though Jenner did this manicure on vacation, it’s suitable for any occasion. You can achieve a similar look with polishes like Londontown Nail Polish ($16) in Mistletoe or Orly’s Nail Polish ($11) in Do a Beryl Roll.
Grinch green nails
In 2020, Kylie Cosmetics launched a collection inspired by the Grinch. To celebrate, she painted her pointed nails this forest green color. Legend used Candy Coat’s Pro Palette Gel Color ($18) in Holly for this set.
Pink Butterfly Nails
Jenner’s pink butterfly nails are truly beautiful. After applying a light coat of nude polish, Legend painted different sized butterflies on each of Jenner’s nails. To add an extra touch, he added a few gemstones around each one.
