Although spring has finally sprung here in New York City, I can’t help but daydream about a sun-soaked vacation. The kind where you lay around all day in a bikini and drink a piña colada out of a frosty cup. Kylie Jenner’s latest Instagram posts have not been helping my sun lust.
The youngest Jenner sister has been on a truly idyllic vacation in Turks and Caicos with the rest of her sisters. She’s been sharing multiple iconic looks from the trip, including a $10,000 rhinestone-studded bikini from Chanel’s 1995 collection and a shimmering mesh dress. However, I’ve been most captivated by the manicure she’s been wearing throughout her trip, done by her go-to nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt.
The Manicure
From the photo Jenner shared, it’s hard to tell if each nail is actually a different pastel shade or just appears to be due to how the light is hitting the iridescent finish. But, it appears that her pinky is a purple shade, her ring and thumb are an oil-slick green, her middle is a pale blue, and her pointer finger is a purple-y green. The pastel hues paired perfectly with the ocean setting and totally reminded me of sea glass. The manicure’s iridescent chrome effect only adds to the magic.
How to Get the Look
Ganzegort didn't share the exact shades she used for the look, but luckily, it's a pretty easy one to copy at home.
- Start by prepping your nails: Remove any lingering polish for a clean base, cut and file your nails to your preferred shape, apply a base coat, and let it dry.
- Next, apply your base shade. If you want a more mismatched look, gather a few pastel polishes like light purple, light blue, and light green and apply one to each of your fingers. Or, stick with a single color for all your nails. We like Olive & June’s Sequin Everything ($9) for blue, Essie’s Orchid Jelly ($13) for purple, and OPI’s $elf Made ($12) for green.
- You won’t be able to get a true chrome effect without going to the salon, but an iridescent top coat with green and purple shimmer will give you a similar look. Try Olive & June’s Mermaid Effect Top Coat ($9) for that sea glass vibe.
- Finish off with a high-shine topcoat, and let dry.
