The Nail Crown Trend Gets the Kylie Jenner Stamp of Approval
A design that both minimal and maximalist beauty lovers can get behind.


Kylie Jenner is once again proving the versatility of nail crowns. On April 28, the entrepreneur posted a picture of her latest manicure on Instagram, letting the world know how much she adores her new designs. “Love my studded nails,” she captioned the photo, showing off a blue French manicure with pearlescent beads dotted across the smile line.
Jenner is the latest celebrity to participate in the nail crown trend, which is predicted to be one of the more popular manicures in 2025. This comes on the heels of Jennifer Lopez’s version of the look, which she wore to celebrate Easter. Lopez’s version brought the gems all the way to the tips of her nails, proving the versatility of the trendy manicure.
“The nail community, especially on social media, is in this interesting space where both minimal aesthetics and blinged-out manicures are simultaneously in the spotlight,” manicurist Joelle Rodriguez previously told Marie Claire. “Crowns offer a fun common ground for people to get the best of both worlds.”
Whether you’re a nail art enthusiast or are simply looking for inspiration for your next manicure, adding this design is an easy way to take a simple style up a notch. There are even multiple ways to achieve the look, so ahead, I’ve curated a list of products that I’ll be keeping handy at my at-home nail station to recreate Jenner’s manicure. And for the first-time DIY-ers, don’t worry—it won’t be as difficult as it sounds.
