According to Kylie Jenner, spooky season isn’t over. 

The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan just debuted a manicure, which has given us the ultimate glam-goth vibes. Channelling her older sister Kourtney's punk aesthetic, Kylie's long almond shaped manicure featured darn onyx-black nail polish and proved that black is the go-to hue this winter when it comes to your varnish.

In a series of photos Kylie shared with her 372 million followers on instagram, the reality star turned Beauty empresario showed off a bustier style black satin bra, worn with a plunging bodysuit and neutral makeup. Her nails were reminiscent of her Elvira alter-ego, a costume she wore this Halloween. 

Kylie isn't afraid to experiment when it comes to beauty trends

The glam-goth trend has been quietly gaining steam over the last few months, with the most vocal champions of the look (also known as whimsigoth) being Dove Cameron and Nicola Peltz (the freshly dyed brown hair and edgy micro-fringe said it all.) This fresh take on the gothic aesthetic we know and love gives our 1990s grunge obsession a sleek elevated (and sometimes sparkly) update. Remember Kourtney Kardashian's Portofino wedding, complete with Dolce & Gabbana looks worthy of a Lana Del Rey album cover? Pure glam-goth. Society belle Tish Weinstock’s Halloween themed nuptials? A glam-goth extravaganza down to the Halloween themed pre-party.

Currently the ultimate must haves on every glam-goth girl’s wish list are platform heels and leather platform boots (Nicola is a fan), as well as pretty much any dress by Vampire’s Wife or Alessandra Rich. Finish the look with a velvet hair bow, autumnal lipstick and of course a black manicure a-la Kylie Jenner. There’s never been a better time to release your inner vamp.
