Never Have I Ever’s New KATSEYE-Inspired Collection Has Us Ready to Put Our Pinkies Up
Award-winning press-on nail brand Never Have I Ever poses the question, “What if you could wear an album on your fingertips?” with their new KATSEYE collection. The New York City-based brand drew inspiration from each of the five tracks on the girl group’s latest EP, WILD.
Each nail set brings a different side of KATSEYE’s EP to life, translating the energy of each track into its own distinct visual story. “Bel Air” leans into dreamy softness with a powder-blue and silver color palette, complete with delicate bows and playful decals. At the same time, “Animal” embraces its untamed side with a striking mix of red, black, and nude hues, zebra stripes, and pearl accents. “Hootie Frutti” delivers a vibrant pop of color with red, pink, and purple almond-shaped nails adorned with flowers and pearls.
Meanwhile, “Pinky Up” brings playful confidence with hot pink French tips, bright blue nails, stars, and rhinestone decals. Rounding out the collection, “That Way” taps into nostalgia with squared coffin nails, black-and-white French tips, and delicate pink-and-white floral details. Together, the sets turn the EP’s sound, mood, and attitude into a manicure moment. In a market that leans heavily toward artist-branded merchandise, this collection offers a more elevated and wearable way for fans to celebrate their favorite music.
Spearheading their process through storytelling, the Never Have I Ever team explained, “We didn’t want to simply make merchandise—we wanted to translate music into something fans could physically experience. Every charm, color, crystal, and illustration was intentionally chosen to reflect the feeling behind each song, allowing fans to express their connection to the music in a completely new way.”
As seen on Shark Tank, this isn’t the brand’s first foray into licensed collections, as it released Peanuts and Miffy lines late last year. With those collaborations already under its belt, the KATSEYE collection feels like a natural next step, bringing the brand’s playful approach to nail art into the world of music and fandom.
Each set is priced at $24, while the full “WILD Bundle” is available for $88. Both are available now on the brand’s website and at select retailers, including Urban Outfitters.
