Kylie's nails are a modern twist on the classic French manicure

Kylie Jenner always has flawless nails, but her latest picture of her colourful manicure is bound to get you in the mood for summer, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown. So whether your nails are in desperate need of some TLC or you simply have a lot of time on your hands to give yourself a pampering session, you'll want to copy the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star. 

Kylie's picture of her colourful manicure quickly received over six million likes on Instagram

The beauty mogul shared a picture of her gorgeous nails on Instagram, quickly racking up over six million likes. They were painted with a neutral base and finished off with different coloured tips - like a modern, colourful twist on the classic French manicure. Kylie simply captioned the post with a rainbow emoji, and fans were quick to share their compliments, with former star Amber Davies writing, "Love," and another adding, "Colours of the rainbow." Meanwhile, several noted the shorter length - which is a marked change to the usual nail extensions and bold colours she normally sports.
