In 2019, Kim K arrived at the Met Gala in a wet Mugler outfit. The outfit wasn’t wet, but sure looked like it. Maybe she got caught in a passing shower, much like we are – every day at this point. If you, like us, enjoy matching your nails to your outfit or season, we have curated a bunch of picks. If you love 3D designs and drip nail art, this season’s hottest new nail trend is perfect for you.
