Machine Gun Kelly’s Black and White Chain Nails

Prior to his epic chain nail moment with Megan Fox, Kelly wore a less extreme version of the manicure while on a father-daughter-date at the American Music Awards. In a picture with his daughter, Kelly holds up a trophy after winning "Favourite Rock Artist," and his nails are a half-black, half-white design, with a small chain detail added right down the middle of each finger.

You didn't think we'd skip over the epic pierced-chain nail did you? In December of 2021, Kelly and his fiancée Megan Fox arrived at the launch party for Un/Dn Laqr, where they were chained together by their pinky nails. The look saw Kelly wearing a long stiletto-shape on his left finger, similar to the ones that Fox wore on her right.

Machine Gun Kelly’s Kiwi Nails

While on tour in Germany, Kelly sported kiwi-inspired nails. Yes, his nails were painted green with a white circle added to the middle, with small black stokes — mimicking the look of Kiwi seeds — added to each finger for the easiest nail-art look that felt like summer.

Machine Gun Kelly's Light-Up Nails

Perhaps one of his coolest nail looks to date, Kelly's latest went high tech with checkered nail art featuring light-up technology. The elaborate manicure was created by nail artist Brittney Boyce, who added teeny LED light to each nail, making quadrants of the checkerboard design cycle through various colours, including black, green, and pink.
