Kylie Jenner has a signature dark nail polish shade, and she busted it out just in time to usher in the fall. The Kylie Cosmetics founder shared a pic of her manicure of the week, and the polish of choice is a total classic.
In recent IG stories, Kylie Jenner explained that her go-to dark nail color is OPI's iconic, beloved Lincoln Park After Dark, a shiny deep purple so dark it appears almost black. The color rose to popularity in the late 2000s in part because of Lauren Conrad and The Hills; she frequently wore the shade onscreen, along with Chanel's Black Satin. (It's also a personal favorite of this writer.)

According to Jenner, Lincoln Park After Dark is "still the best OG dark color" and she's been wearing it "since I was a teeeen [sic]." It's also widely available, so you can very likely snap it up for under $15.
Kylie's nails are currently medium-length, squared-off, and glimmering with several coats of color. For a similar look, you could also consider OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark press-on nails, which give you that Kylie look without a trip to the salon.
The dark mani isn't the only indicator that Jenner is returning to her King Kylie Tumblr aesthetic, or at least taking it for a spin — the second spin this year. She paired the nails with a teal wig, harkening back to her iconic teal-tipped bob from 2014. Jenner has experimented with other blue shades in the past, including an icy blue color in 2018, but the teal instantly sends us back to the Tumblr era in the best way.

Instead of tips, this was an all-over color, falling down past her shoulders. She wore the wig out to the L.A. celeb hotspot Sushi Park, tossing a camo baseball cap over the top. (A teal wig isn't really the best option for an incognito trip to a frequently papped restaurant, but we digress.)

The teal might be just a wig, but does this mean we're in for a season of King Kylie-inspired leather, skulls, and silver jewelry? TBD, given that Jenner likes to keep us guessing, it's pretty hard to tell but it does feel like we're reuniting with an old friend.
