Cherry-Toppin' Manis

Kourtney Kardashian’s dainty cherry-print nails are so 2000s rockabilly

Does this mean it's time to break out our old Hot Topic halter dresses?

Do you ever reminisce about a dearly departed item of clothing like it's a long-lost friend? That's how I get about this one Marc by Marc Jacobs long-sleeve cherry-print top I had and adored circa 2002. 

I remember wearing it to see my favourite obscure bands play in Brooklyn and thinking I was just the coolest. Cherry-print was a huge trend at the time, so even though it was inspired by the retro rockabilly style of the 1950s, when I see a teensy cherry pattern like the one on Kourtney Kardashian's latest nail art, I immediately associate it with the early 2000s.

Kardashian shared a couple close-ups of the adorable manicure on her Instagram Stories early Thursday morning after celebrating her friend Atiana De La Hoya's birthday. She modelled it alongside one of three cakes — this one just happened to be covered in cherries, just like her nails.

The oval-shaped, modest-length nails were coated in a glossy, semi-sheer, pink-leaning off-white, setting the tone for a look that was less 2006 Hot Topic and more timelessly elegant. Each nail is topped with three impossible tiny pairs of red cherries — complete with a white dot for faux shine — black stems, and pastel green leaves.

Kourtney Kardashian tagged both Kim Truong and Diem Truong. Kim's Instagram account shows her manicure relationship with Kardashian goes back to at least 2015, and with work this high-quality, it's easy to see why.
