Kylie Jenner is a beauty girl through and through. While she has a clear affinity for makeup (case in point: Kylie Cosmetics) and hair, she’s also a nail aficionado. The 25-year-old has always been one to experiment with her manicures, and over the years, she’s tried tons of cool nail colors, art, and accessories. Needless to say, Jenner is a perfect source of inspiration for your next mani appointment. Ahead, take a look at 20 of Jenner’s best manicure moments.
01 Strawberry Milk Nails
KYLIE JENNER
Jenner debuted this trendy strawberry milk manicure at Coachella. While she typically wears long nails, she switched things up and opted for short square tips. To achieve this mani, apply two coats of creamy pale pink nail polish as a base. Add a touch of glossiness with a high-shine topcoat.
02 Creamsicle Glazed Nails
KYLIE JENNER
Orange nails are fitting for spring and summer, and clearly, Jenner agrees as she recently debuted a creamsicle glazed mani on Instagram. This look is the work of celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt. She achieved it by applying a semi-sheer orange jelly to Jenner’s medium-length square nails, dusting a chrome powder on top, and then swiping on a glossy topcoat.
03 Chrome French Nails
