Kylie Jenner’s Go-to Nail Artists
Let’s take a closer look at the nail artists that create these amazing looks for Kylie Jenner.
First, there’s Zola Ganzorigt from Mongolia. She moved to Los Angeles in 2016 to pursue a master's degree in business. However, fate had a different plan, and a job offer at a salon unveiled her true passion for nail artistry. Zola quickly rose to prominence as the architect behind the viral 'glazed donut nails' trend. She’s also a favorite among celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Vanessa Hudgens. Her minimalist yet bold designs have adorned the stars’ fingertips and featured in top fashion campaigns.
Then, there’s Chaun Legend who came from a refugee camp in Cambodia and immigrated to the US when three years old. Chaun was surrounded by family members who owned nail salons and inspired him with visions of art and affluence. Despite early struggles in LA, making only five dollars a day, his fortunes turned with a single Instagram "like" from Kylie Jenner.
“Pucci Vibes”
Here’s a Chaun Legend original from May 8, 2021. He called it “Pucci Vibes” because of the patterns that echo iconic Pucci prints with spirals, swirls, and waves of muted colors. Fans can recognize the dedication behind each detail here. This is a fashion statement, a wearable piece of the Pucci legacy.
