You can’t tell me there aren’t certain makeup or nail looks that just perfectly capture those elusive seasonal-transition vibes. Let me give you a perfect example: Kylie Jenner’s latest manicure.
We’re pretty much right in the middle of spring, which means I’m already thinking about summer – which means I’m obsessing over looks that feel simultaneously springy yet also summery. And Kylie just delivered exactly what I was looking for.
On Sunday, April 27, Kylie posted a close-up of her left hand on her Instagram Stories with the text, “love my studded nailssss,” and frankly, I do tooooo. They feel fresh and elegant without being stuffy or excessive. Plus they have just enough edge to counteract the classic elements.
Basically, if this manicure were an outfit, it would be a linen dress with an unexpected metal belt.
Nail artist Zola Ganzorigt made it happen, and you can just tell how excited she is to start doing more manicures like this one. “We’re so back for our summer fun nails,” she says.

Zola used the OPI shade Passion, a neutral pale pink, for the base of Kylie Jenner’s long, oval nails. She used It’s a Boy for the tips—a perfect pastel blue that doesn’t stray too far from the traditional white tip but gives the French manicure a little oomph. (And yes, both are available in traditional polish formulas in case you want to try this at home.)
As for the tiny silver studs along the border of the colours, Zola got them from Amazon.
There’s truly no wrong nail polish or nail art to wear any time of year, but if you’re feeling that spring-to-summer tingle all the way into your fingertips, there’s no better way to show it than with a manicure like this.
