Get Grammy Winner Kehlani’s ‘Abstract Nude’ Manicure With These Details

02/01/2026

Singer Kehlani took home two trophies at the 2026 Grammy Awards for her song “Folded,” winning in the Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song categories. Her acceptance speech wasn’t the only thing we’re obsessed with. Did everyone peep her nails?

Her glam abstract nude nail look was created by celebrity manicurist Johana Castillo using Aprés Nail products. Scroll to see the exact steps she took.

Get the Look:

  1. “We started with Aprés Long Sculpted Stiletto Gel-X Tips and reshaped them into almond for a slimmer, sculpted finish.
  2. Nude base is Aprés Gel Couleur ‘Forgotten Film’.
  3. For the textured chrome, I mixed Extend Gel with Aprés Gel Couleur ‘Birnam Wood,’ added diamonds, cured for 45 seconds in the Aprés Alpha 2-in-1 Led Lamp, then rubbed on gold chrome.
  4. I finished with Aprés Top Gelcoat X.”
