Kendall Jenner Matches Her Vintage Brick Red Manicure and Pedicure to Her Calvin Kleins
The model wore the nostalgic holiday hue from tip to toe.

Kendall Jenner stripped down from her cozy scarf coat to nothing but her skivvies for her Calvin Klein holiday campaign. In spicy portraits shared to Instagram on Dec. 17, the model posed in several "Santa Baby"-coded looks, from a lacy black negligee and a chocolate brown metallic midi dress to a scarlet bra and panty set.
Shot on film by Marissa Dazza Sandoval, the photos have a soft-focus nostalgic vibe that runs right down to Jenner's fingertips. That's where I noticed her stunning nail color: a brick red hue that positively screamed "so hurry down the chimney tonight."

Reminiscent of mahogany fireplaces and roasting chestnuts, the shade almost perfectly matched that of her crimson underwear. But Jenner's holiday manicure stands apart from the wine-red and black cherry nail trends her peers have been sporting this season. Here, the 29-year-old's tips seem to be lacquered with something closer to a rusty vintage red with a healthy dose of orange and brown in the mix. She even wore the burnt sienna hue on her toes for added color coordination.

It seems my search for a not-so-basic holiday manicure has come to a close thanks to Kendall Jenner. Let's hope Santa agrees.
