In a world dominated by extravagant celebrity manicures as of late, Kourtney Kardashian’s latest nail look is a breath of fresh air, proving that minimalist, short designs can still pack a punch. On Wednesday, July 24, Los Angeles-based celebrity manicurist Kim Truong shared photos of the Poosh founder’s newest nail look: a glossy, soft pink hue on perfectly shaped squoval nails.

In the caption of the post, Truong wrote, “Soft pink mani for @kourtneykardash,” and lucky for us, she shared the exact gel nail polish shade she used to achieve the look: Mia Secret Gelux Gel Polish in Pink Peony. The brand promises long wear and a super shiny finish, the latter of which is certainly visible in the manicurist’s photos.

As simple as Kardashian’s manicure might seem, it’s undeniably on-trend. As told to NewBeauty this past spring, light pink nails never go out of style. “Baby pink or pinky-white shades never go out of style because they work so well at enhancing the true beauty of every skin tone,” celebrity nail stylist Mazz Hanna told us at the time. “Pink nails elongate the fingers on pale skin for a subtle, yet elegant statement. They also offer darker skin tones a bright contrast, without the harsh effects of a classic white nail polish. It’s kind of like the LBD of nail polish: it’s always in style, no matter the season, and brings out the best in everyone.”

Equally trendy is Kardashian’s choice to go with short nails. According to May data from the beauty and wellness marketplace Fresha, shorter nails remain a hot trend in 2024 after spiking in popularity last year. While not as widely searched-for as long nails, they still garner millions of social media impressions—proving they deserve a top spot on your ever-growing list of year-round manicure inspo.
