Summer manicure according to Kylie Jenner

On her way to the Turks and Caicos Islands (on a private jet, of course), Kylie Jenner showed off a manicure that's likely to be the hottest look this summer.

Her rounded claws, created by her celebrity makeup artist, Zola Ganzorigt, were coated in a pearlescent, soft pink polish and adorned with rhinestones. The embellishments came in a variety of shapes and sizes—oval, diamond, square, you name it—and in silver, white, and pink.

In an Instagram post Tuesday, Ganzorigt shared close-ups of Jenner's new hairdo on a plane, in a pool, and next to a Kylie Cosmetics-branded napkin, captioning the photo, "Rhinestone-embellished ends.".

The "Queen Kylie" manicure was designed specifically for Jenner's week-long getaway to the Turks and Caicos Islands—her favorite beach destination, as she revealed in a recent interview with Jake Shane—where she will celebrate the upcoming summer launch of her currently under wraps beauty brand.

Jenner shared a glimpse of her trip on TikTok, posting a video titled "What's in My Bag," filmed mid-flight. In the video, she emptied the contents of her white Himalaya crocodile-skin Birkin bag, revealing a small makeup bag, two chargers, headphones, a purse, a rhinestone-embellished water pitcher, and more. After landing on the island, she posted a video tour of the house where she, her two children, and a group of friends and bloggers will be staying for the duration of the trip.

Judging by the timing of the video, it's safe to assume Jenner won't be attending Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday alongside Timothée Chalamet, a huge New York Knicks fan. That doesn't mean she won't be courtside for the rest of the series, given her recent performances at Madison Square Garden. Jenner has attended several playoff games in recent weeks, inspiring a new generation of basketball fans' wives and girlfriends with her wardrobe brimming with "cool girl" energy. Many of her outfits included kitten heels, low-rise jeans, white tank tops, and rare vintage pieces.

When it comes to game-day attire, Chalamet favors high-street fashion over sportswear, showcasing a carefully curated selection of vintage New York Knicks pieces, baggy pants, and Y2K-inspired footwear that rivals his casual style, courtesy of Taylor McNeil. Over the past two seasons, for example, the Dune star has paired 6-inch Timberland boots, Adidas sneakers (Stan Smiths and OG Sambas), mini Ugg boots, and the occasional Rick Owens x Converse collaboration with a collection of custom Chrome Hearts, '90s Avirex, and accessories from Nahmias, the Los Angeles-based brand behind his viral "Marty Supreme" clothing collection.
