Kiss Beauty Group has named singer-songwriter Rhea Raj as its inaugural ambassador for Kiss Drip, a press-on nail collection sold only at Ulta. The partnership marks a push by the brand to reach consumers interested in bold, expressive nail design.

Raj, named Gold House x Spotify Artist of the Year in 2023, is known for her genre-blending work in pop and electro-pop music infused with Indian influences. She has built a following by sharing behind-the-scenes creative moments and her approach to beauty, with TikTok hits including “Hush,” “Killer,” and “Mumbai.” According to the brand, nails form a core part of how she expresses herself visually.

The Collection

Kiss Drip features trend-forward designs including updated takes on French tips, chrome effects, intricate finishes, and 3D embellishments. The relaunched collection includes 32 nails across 14 sizes, designed to fit more naturally than earlier versions, according to the brand. Kiss said the nails last up to 14 days and do not damage natural nails.

Why Raj

Kiss selected Raj for what the brand described as her bold approach to beauty and her ability to make looks distinctly personal. Kristin Giarrusso, global marketing director at Kiss Products, said in a statement that Raj embodies the spirit the brand wants to project. “That spirit is exactly what we love about the Drip collection,” Giarrusso said.

Raj framed nails as a channel for personality expression. “I’ve always seen nails as another way to express your personality, and I love that Kiss makes it so easy to experiment,” she said. “The Kiss Drip collection feels very me—the designs are bold, unexpected, and have just the right amount of edge. I’m excited to bring these looks into my own world and hopefully inspire people to have more fun with their beauty routines.”
