Kylie Jenner sparks fall nail trend with deep purple manicure

Kylie Jenner appears to have found one of the standout nail trends for fall 2026, after a recent social media post drew attention to her dark, 90s-inspired manicure.

The reality television star and beauty entrepreneur recently shared a series of casual selfies from her gym sessions on Instagram Stories. While her workout outfit initially caught attention, fans quickly focused on her nail colour.

Jenner wore a deep shade that combines black and purple tones, giving her long, square-shaped nails a dark and glossy appearance. The manicure has since attracted attention from beauty enthusiasts looking for autumn-inspired nail ideas.

The look was created by Jenner’s longtime nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt, who initially shared images of the manicure while showcasing her work.

The colour has been identified as OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark, a classic shade that first launched in 2005 as part of the brand’s Chicago Collection. The polish takes its name from Chicago’s Lincoln Park and is known for its nearly black appearance with deep purple undertones.

The shade has long been associated with autumn and has recently resurfaced across social media as beauty enthusiasts embrace darker nail colours for the new season.

OPI North America brand education manager Lia Smith previously described the colour as having a mysterious quality inspired by the park after dark.

Jenner’s manicure has also sparked renewed interest on TikTok, where beauty creators have been sharing the shade and discussing its suitability for fall looks.

With its dark purple finish and retro influence, the manicure offers a simple alternative for those looking to update their nail style without opting for elaborate designs.
