When we asked top manicurists to share their favorite fall nail color trends, there were a few surprises on the list, including off-white and sheer blush. But if we had asked Kylie Jenner and manicurist Zola Ganzorigt, the two may have added another surprising shade to the list: bright Barbie pink!

Pink has long been one of Jenner's signature colors, and it's also the signature shade of her beauty brand, Kylie Cosmetics. For a recent photoshoot, Jenner leaned all the way into the color with a long, stiletto-shaped manicure in a cheerful bubblegum hue reminiscent of Barbie's DreamHouse—or maybe a pair of her plastic stiletto heels. Jenner's nails are a lot longer than normal; lately, she's been sticking with a medium-length almond shape, as evidenced by the “black onyx” mani she wore in a cute video with her pal Hailey Bieber. The star has also kept things pretty low-key color-wise, sticking to French tips or subtle nail art instead of vivid, saturated hues like this candy pink.

Given the “backstage” element of the selfies, it looks like Jenner is probably shooting a campaign for something—likely something fashion-related for her brand Khy, as she's wearing a pink bikini top and mini skirt that perfectly matches the manicure.

Jenner's day-to-day manicures are usually a bit more subdued than these pink princess stilettos, but she turns up the volume for photoshoots. For a recent Khy shoot, Ganzorigt transformed Jenner's nails into shiny silver chrome daggers courtesy OPI's Chrome Clawz polish.

Jenner isn't alone in her love of the color pink; for the 2025 Emmy Awards, The White Lotus star Lisa showed off a truly magical manicure in a similar shade, though hers was sprinkled with rhinestones and glitter for a Glinda the Good Witch effect. While a pink this bright and bubbly generally screams “spring” or “summer" the way a deep navy or burgundy feels so fall, when you really think about it, pink is forever. Just ask Barbie!
