In June 2022, Kim Kardashian proclaimed that she was officially over long manicures and was Team Short Nails all the way. However, the Skims and SKKN by Kim founder and law student appears to have changed her tune — and her nail length.
Kardashian, who loves evolving her beauty look and changing up her hairstyles, has been sporting longer nails as of late, including a super-glam red set she posted to Instagram alongside a matching red sequined bra top and skirt set and a mini clutch bag, which practically disappears against her mani. Kardashian's nails have been shaped into classic rounded points and painted scarlet red, a real departure for the reality star, who usually sticks to neutral shades. She also recently wore another lengthy set of stiletto nails in a more Kim-esque milky ivory color.
Kardashian never sticks to one look for long, so it's no surprise that she's ditching her short manicures to play with different shapes and styles. In mid-February, she threw it back to the Myspace days with square tips and a classic duck face, and she surprised practically everyone in a dagger-like neon electric green set for a SKKN event in late 2022.

Kardashian did caveat that when we see her in stiletto nails, they're probably just temporary press-ons. "They're usually just taped on for a shoot or the night," she told Allure editor-in-chief Jessica Cruel. "When I have my nails on, everyone will laugh. They'll be like nothing you're saying on text makes sense." Press-ons are the perfect choice for someone like Kardashian, who often has to transition between photoshoots and events to life with her kids and her law school studies; they're less of a commitment than acrylic or gel extensions and can be worn for a few days — or, in Kardashian's case, a few red carpet appearances.
