When you consider the absolutely endless variety of nail looks displayed by manicure-loving celebrities, you might have noticed there’s been a glaring absence in recent years. There are elaborate nail art moments and simple, subtle shades, but where has that in-between sweet spot gone? I’m talking about the accent nail. And Kourtney Kardashian<\/strong> is giving me hope that we may be seeing a triumphant return of the one-whimsical-finger trend.<\/p>\n The reality star and entrepreneur posted a cute close-up of her latest manicure to Instagram, and it’s a major switch from the shorter nails she’s been sporting for the last few months. The long, oval shape is host to the prettiest milky nude polish\u2014a look that’s definitely going strong right now.<\/p>\n But what makes the manicure particularly special is the accent nail that nail artist Kim Truong added, aptly, to her ring finger. Diamond-like gems curve parallel to\u2014but not directly along \u2014Kardashian’s cuticle, creating an effect not unlike an eternity band.<\/p>\n Sounds romantic, right? That seems to be the intention, as Kardashian labeled them her Valentine’s Day nails.<\/p>\n Screenshot<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Even if you don’t have time to get to the salon to make this your own Valentine’s Day manicure, the look definitely has a timeless feel that works any time of year. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this look took off as a wedding manicure trend. But more importantly, let’s hope this marks the comeback of the adorable accent nail.<\/p>\n More beauty news:<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, watch cover star Dove Cameron get ready:<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow<\/em> Allure on<\/em>\u00a0Instagram<\/em> and<\/em>\u00a0TikTok, or<\/em>\u00a0subscribe to our newsletter<\/em> to stay up to date on all things beauty.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/698e29cb01cb2e81bccf15d3\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/kourtney%2520kardashian%2520accent%2520nail.jpg\"\/)
