The one look that Kylie Jenner [1] keeps wearing on repeat and we can't get enough of is the gradient nail trend [2]. The nail art involves a colour at the tip of the nail (similar to a french manicure) that fades into a nude colour at the base. It looks gorgeous in any hue from pastels to neons [3], and Jenner has even been coordinating the look with her best friends.
