I recently had the pleasure of attending an intimate dinner in New York City, hosted by renowned fashion designer Prabal Gurung, the night before the highly anticipated launch of his limited-edition nail collection with KISS. As I sat amongst some of the most esteemed beauty editors from the world’s top publications, I couldn’t help but feel the magic in the air. The ambiance was pure bliss—dim lighting, soft music, and a table adorned with florals as striking as Prabal’s designs. Just before dinner was served, Prabal shared a thought that resonated with everyone in the room: “The collection is meant for someone who dares to be different whether they’re screaming out loud or whispering quietly. Nails are the period at the end of the sentence. They complete the look.”
With that simple yet profound statement, Prabal set the tone for what would become one of the most exciting collaborations in the beauty industry this year. Enter the world of high fashion with these DIY manis that promise to bring glamour on the go, reflecting the luxurious and sophisticated style Prabal is known for.

This limited-edition collection with KISS is more than just a set of nails; it’s an experience—a way to express your individuality and complete your look with confidence and style. Each design reflects Prabal’s signature blend of sophistication, boldness, and a touch of playfulness, ensuring that there’s something for everyone, whether you’re dressing up for a night out or adding a touch of elegance to your everyday ensemble. All six styles in the collection are all so gorgeous and you can check them all out below.
1 – Iconic
Kicking off the collection is one of Prabal’s favorite designs. Imagine discovering a pot of gold and having the luxury of dipping your nails into it—that’s the inspiration behind Iconic. These dramatic gold-tipped 3-D French nails are medium-length and almond-shaped, exuding an opulent, luxe feel. Yet, they’re versatile enough for everyday wear. Perfect for when you want to make a statement, these nails scream fun and fabulousness without a hint of damage to your natural nails. With a high shine and volume, they’re durable, flexible, and comfortable, lasting up to seven days.
2 – Scarlet Silk
Next up, we have Scarlet Silk, a design that’s close to Prabal’s heart, rooted in his childhood memories where red was more than just a color—it was a symbol of luck and prosperity. These high-gloss oxblood red nails are short-length and oval-shaped, with a magnetic powder effect that adds depth and drama from every angle. Whether you’re at an evening soiree or just embracing a pop of color during the day, these nails deliver sophistication with a dash of daring.
3 – Pink Chiffon
For those who believe in the power of pink, Pink Chiffon is your new go-to. This design celebrates the strength and power of femininity with an unapologetic flair. It’s a modern take on the classic French manicure but with a twist that only Prabal could conjure. Long-length and coffin-shaped, these two-tone pink nails embody exotic, free-spirited glamour. They’re the ultimate expression of unabashed femininity—bold, beautiful, and powerful.
4 – First Look
If minimalism with a twist is more your style, First Look will capture your heart. This design features a blend of solid dark red and beige, with just a touch of crystal for added intrigue. The medium-length, coffin-shaped nails offer a mix of matte and shiny textures, making them ideal for someone who likes to observe the room before making their mark. Wear these nails when you want to be the one who commands attention, quietly yet powerfully.
5 – Front Row
Why wait for a party to have fun when you can bring the party with you? Front Row nails are your everyday go-to for a bit of joyful elegance. These short-length, oval-shaped nails feature silver-tipped nude French designs with a chrome finish, perfect for someone who loves a subtle yet striking look. They’re the counterpoint to the gold-tipped Iconic design, offering sharper lines and a fresh take on a timeless classic.
6 – Signature Strut
Lastly, for the cool girl who’s always the life of the party, there’s Signature Strut. This design is a bit moodier, perfect for transitioning from day to night in the bustling streets of New York City. The medium-length, square-shaped nails feature metallic shades of gray and black with a subtle French tip, accented by a three-dimensional silver dust magnetic powder effect. These nails are for the trendsetters, the ones everyone wants to hang out with.
