With her 255 million instagram following and counting, Kim Kardashian is one of the most followed celebrities on the planet, so it’s no surprise everyone is watching what she does, and most importantly — what she wears. She’s a style icon, and her nails are no exception. Just as she can be experimental with her fashion choices, you’ll often see her testing out all the new nail trends — from bold colors, to ultra long acrylics, Kim K’s tried them all. One thing you will find with Kardashian’s manis though — she’s a huge fan of short natural nails and neutral shades that go with everything. Continue below to find all the hottest nail trends that are Kim K approved.
Nudes

This busy jetsetter is a style chameleon and needs to ensure her nails are always on point and don’t clash with any of her trend-setting ensembles. This may be why you’ll often see her with perfectly shaped nails in shades of nude — pinkish tans, beiges, taupes, or soft browns are all she’s we regularly see on those flawlessly manicured hands. These shades are mega chic and will go with everything.When in doubt, go nude.
Tortoise Shell

While Kimmy often opts for neutral nails, she’s no stranger to bold, trend-setting manis worthy of a double take. She went full tortoise shell while in Italy this summer and we’re super into it. Kardashian is a regular client of celebrity nail artist, Kim Truong, and we can see why. Truong is always up to date on all the latest nail trends, and isn’t afraid to experiment. To get this look in a pinch, try a simple nail art kit like DOLO Instant Marble Nails that will give you ultra-cool marbleized nail art similar to this in only seconds.
Green

We’re green with envy for these nails. For this look, Kardashian went with a camo green on a long coffin-shaped nail. We have to admit, this shade looks stellar on her skin tone, and we’re obsessed. Fortunately, this look is super easy to recreate. At your next nail appointment, scope out the greens and go with the shade that suits you best. It’s simple — opt for warmer shades for warm skin tones and cooler ones for cooler skin tones.
Metallic Shades

Kim Kardashian is known for her perfect, glowing skin and you’ll often see her with glowing nails like these to match. She went for a long square nail perfectly polished with a neutral color in a fun metallic finish that shines. We love this look for nights out, holidays, and special occasions. Be the life of the party with festive, neutral metallics.
Classic Red

Red is always super sexy and will never go out of style. Kimmy proves that here with her flawless apple red mani and pedi. Can’t decide which shade of red to go with? Opt for darker shades for fall and winter and brighter ones in the warmer months. There’s a shade of red for every season. Be fierce in red.
White Nails

It’s a white out. When Kim K isn’t donning bold colors, ultra long acrylics, or her signature nudes, you may find her keeping it simple with a frosty white polish on a natural nail. It’s no secret Kardashian loves a monochromatic look and she proves that here with this all white ensemble.

Both women and men choose to wear watches as a luxury accessory. Typically men are more interested in the mechanics behind their timepiece, and women see watches as a piece of aesthetic jewellery. However, more recently we’re seeing a growth of women designers entering the watch market, which will inevitably bring more female customers into the world of watches.
Finding a watch that suits your own individual style can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re looking for, or if there’s not one on the market to suit your needs. You may have a favourite colour of jewellery to wear, and if you do this will make your search for the right watch easier. However, if you don’t, there are other things you can take into consideration when looking for a brand new timepiece.
Fitting your new watch to your skin tone
You might want to get a watch that matches some of your favourite outfits in your wardrobe. You also might want to get a watch that matches your skin pigmentation.
Inspect the material of the watch case
If you’ve got fair skin, white gold or silver will complement your complexion the best as it will appear fresh on lighter skin. With this sort of skin tone, rose gold can make you look red-faced because of its pink undertones.
If you’ve got honey or a darker skin tone, then yellow gold will work well to create a striking look. Hair and eye colour may also impact the way jewellery looks on you, so be mindful of this when trying different colours and styles of watches.
Think about gemstones
There’s also a lot to think about when it comes to matching your skin tone to the gemstones and diamonds within the watch. Fair-skinned individuals may prefer to opt for brighter shades of diamond, like pink, blue and red. Therefore, a watch that contains diamonds coloured emerald or azure may be a good choice.
Individuals who have warmer skin tones tend to opt for earthy shades like yellow, jade or diamonds if you’re opting for a little bit more luxury. However, if you’ve got a favourite colour that you want to incorporate into your watch, then go ahead, don’t let complexion stop you!
Choosing the right size dial
Dial size is a really important factor in your decision. It’s important to choose a watch which fits your wrist size perfectly and is not either too big or too small for it. You don’t want a watch that is going to feel heavy and oversized on your wrist.
Most women opt for a watch with a case size of around 30-36mm, but women with very petite wrists may prefer a watch with a 24-26mm case size. Men tend to prefer slightly larger case sizes of 36-40mm as they usually have larger wrists so a smaller case may get lost.
It’s really easy to measure your wrist, simply get a measuring tape, folding ruler, or piece of paper and wrap it around your wrist. Make sure that it’s not too tight or too loose. If you’ve done it with a piece of paper, mark on the paper where your perfect tightness was, then measure the strip of paper with a ruler.
Do you have a preference for the strap?
There are so many different types of straps on the watch market at the moment. Link metal bracelets tend to be really popular as they go with any outfit at any time of the day. A watch will look sleeker when the strap matches the case material. A gold strap with a silver case can sometimes clash. Other alternatives include opting for a leather strap, which can look sophisticated if worn with the right outfit. A leather strap can offer you more of that classic look.
Cater the watch to your style, rather than your style to the watch
It’s essential to take a look at your wardrobe before making a big purchase and buying a luxury watch. By matching your new watch to your current style, you know that you’ll definitely be able to wear your purchase, rather than just let it sit in the back of your wardrobe.

6. Fabolous and Emily B
When it comes to men’s fashion Fabolous is a name that’s often mentioned and heavily defended. His play on colors and proportions are un matched.

10. Cardi B & Offset
This couple is young, popping, and spare no expense when it comes to killer threads. One thing that is currently un matched is the execution and preciseness of each look Cardi B gives. It’s as if once she serves a look, it belongs to her forever. The couture looks worn by the young artist while hosting the 2021 American Music Awards, including the gold Schiaparelli mask with Swarovski piercings, were a few of the many show stopping looks this year.
Offset’s style is evolving as he is showing that he isn’t one to shy away from taking fashion risk. Unique textures and interesting silhouettes have proving to work in his favor. He has even modeled for Balenciaga’s Summer 2022 collection. When the two aren’t fitted in high end couture you can catch them feeding off of each other’s flyness.
