A handful of celebrities have nail looks that live in my brain like my own memories, and Kylie Jenner is at the top of the list. Alongside her go-to manicurist, Zola Ganzorigt, and nail artists including Chaun Peth and Kim Truong, she\u2019s worn everything from intricate nail art to minimalist manicures worth saving for your next appointment.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no official way to crown Jenner\u2019s best manicure without upsetting at least one corner of the internet, but two sets make a convincing case. Her jewel-encrusted \u201ccrystal candy\u201d nails traded subtle sparkle for oversized, light-catching gems. Then there was her unexpectedly charming \u201csummer garden\u201d manicure, complete with yellow French tips and hand-painted bugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And there\u2019s much more where that came from. Keep scrolling for 13 of Jenner’s best nails over the years, from neon French tips and two-tone nails to designer-logo nail art and everything in between.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pretty Pretty Princess\u2019 Nails<\/h2>\n

When Jenner and Ganzorigt debuted this gemstone-adorned set last month, our Teams chat immediately lit up. One editor compared its oversized, colorful gems to the plastic jewelry from Pretty Pretty Princess, and she wasn\u2019t wrong. The milky nude base made the candy-colored stones look even brighter and bolder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bedazzled French-Tip Nails<\/h2>\n

This past June, Jenner and Ganzorigt reimagined the French tip entirely in rhinestones for a Kylie Cosmetics summer trip. Instead of tracing the almond-shaped tips with polish, the manicurist clustered pink and silver gems in different shapes and sizes along the edges. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two-Tone French Tips<\/h3>\n

At Coachella in April 2026, Jenner and Ganzorigt put a subtle spin on the French manicure with pink tips on one hand and creamy yellow on the other, both over a glossy neutral base. Tiny silver gems kept the soft color scheme from playing it too<\/em> safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Plaid Perfection<\/h2>\n

In November 2025, Jenner debuted a mismatched plaid manicure by Ganzorigt that basically captured fall in a single set. The look featured beige and white bases layered with chocolate brown, lavender, light brown, denim blue and pink. With no two nails alike, it was made for anyone who can\u2019t (and won\u2019t!) commit to just one shade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bejeweled Birthday Nails<\/h2>\n

For her 27th birthday in August 2024, Jenner found the prettiest middle ground between minimalist and maximalist with a bejeweled manicure. Ganzorigt paired glossy pale pink polish on long, almond-shaped nails with candy-colored jewels in a mix of cuts.<\/p>\n

The look came with a little sisterly lore, too. Days later, Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian enlisted Ganzorigt for a nearly identical set, which the manicurist confirmed was inspired by Kylie\u2019s birthday nails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Summer Garden\u2019 Nails<\/h2>\n

Only Jenner could convince us that bugs belong on a manicure moodboard. For her July 2024 \u201csummer garden\u201d set, Ganzorigt paired a sheer pink base and pastel-yellow French tips with tiny hand-painted insects. The look went viral alongside Hailey Bieber\u2019s similar farmer\u2019s market nails, which featured colorful produce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fingertip Florals<\/h2>\n

In July 2024, Jenner declared she was \u201cback in my fun nail era,\u201d and this bouquet manicure proved it. Ganzorigt painted a different colorful bloom on each long almond-shaped nail, leaving plenty of sheer nude space to let every petal pop. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Molten-Metal French Nails<\/h2>\n

In May of 2022, Jenner brought this high-shine set to Kourtney Kardashian\u2019s wedding festivities in Portofino. Peth swept reflective silver chrome across the dramatically angled tips of her extra-long almond-shaped nails, leaving the glossy pink base exposed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Technicolor Polka-Dot Nails<\/h2>\n

In May 2021, Jenner gave classic polka dots a maximalist makeover with this neon French manicure by Peth, a look that could debut today and generate just as much buzz. Each long, coffin-shaped nail featured its own combination of hot pink, red, pale yellow and white, with dots in varying sizes layered over solid, sheer and softly ombr\u00e9 bases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Pucci\u2019 Nails<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhy only wear Emilio Pucci\u2013inspired designs when you can also wear them on your nails?\u201d said Jenner, probably. In May of 2021, Peth transformed her long, pointed tips into miniature pieces of Pucci, complete with mismatched geometric swirls in lavender, burgundy, coral, olive, black and white and an \u201cEmilio\u201d signature across the middle nail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Colorful Checkerboard Nails<\/h2>\n

For a Turks and Caicos getaway in January 2021, Jenner chose a playful twist on the classic French manicure. Peth left most of her long, pointed acrylics sheer, concentrating tiny two-tone squares along the slanted tips. Each nail got its own electric color pairing, from blue and white to lime and turquoise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bold Two-Tone Nails<\/h2>\n

In January 2020, Peth gave Jenner\u2019s extra-long coffin nails a split-color look: glossy lavender on one hand and soft pink on the other. Same two-color idea as the French tips at the top of this slideshow, taken to a very different extreme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Butterfly Bling Nails<\/h2>\n

In July 2019, Jenner leaned all the way into \u201cbutterfly season\u201d with extra-long coffin nails covered in pink-and-black winged motifs and scattered rhinestones. Peth was behind the set and he credited @krocaine for the art inspiration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
