Kim Kardashian Wears Otherworldly Airbrush Nails in Skims Swim Campaign

Feb 23 2023 - 10:05am

It's been a big week for Kim Kardashian [1]'s clothing brand, Skims [2]. On Feb. 21, the entrepreneur's highly anticipated, second-ever swim collection [3] hit stores. To accompany the massive announcement, and with the help of renowned director Harmony Korine, Kardashian starred in a campaign inspired by an "out-of-this-world vacation," wearing a handful of head-turning looks.

In the futuristic campaign, a long-blond-haired Kardashian [4] is pictured among models dressed in Skims swimsuits and alien heads. Kardashian cycles through a variety of neon bikinis and cutout one-pieces, but one tiny detail remains constant: her airbrush nails [5]. Created by celebrity manicurist Diem Truong [6], Kardashian's fingertips feature almond-shaped extensions with a pearly pink base that fades into a teal blue with an ombré effect. Three nails on each hand are decorated with different silver accents, including 3D spheres and starburst designs. According to Truong's Instagram post [7], they used three Candy Coat nail polishes to get the look: Au Naturel N001 [8] ($12), Gel Polish N084 [9] ($11), and PRO Palette Maisie N563 [10] ($14). They captioned the photos, "Out of this 🌎 nails 👽."

Airbrush nails were big back in the 1980s and '90s. After a brief hiatus, they've worked their way back up in popularity. This manicure grants Kardashian a spot on the growing list of celebrity fans of the trend.

This relaunch of Skims's swim comes after the first collection garnered more than half a million visits to the brand's website on the 2022 release day. The new line contains 25 styles in total in seven different colorways. There are 10 swim silhouettes, seven cover-ups, and all-new swim accessories. Like before, the clothes are meant to be worn in and out of the water.

With summer around the corner, airbrush nails make for a great vacation manicure (which you can pair with your new Skims suit). Take a closer look at the campaign photos below.
