Get the Glazed Donut Nails of Hailey Bieber at Home When did the phrase “glazed donut” become synonymous with the epitome of dewy skin? Now that the trend has spread to nails, we don’t mind at all. The manicurist for Hailey Bieber revealed the technique behind her sparkling distinctive nails, and naturally, they’re going viral and trending right now.

The finest aspect? A glazed donut manicure is a popular manicure that doesn’t require going to a salon. In the privacy of your own home, this might be one of the simplest looks to pull off. Start with a coat of neutral, sheer, or milky lacquer (such as Smith & Cult Nailed Lacquer in Ghost Edit) to achieve the manicure that will be in style for summer 2022. For a pearl-like appearance, use a shimmering or iridescent top coat last. Et voilà.

There are countless ways to combine polishes. Here are three editor-approved ways to get the style, each with a surprising and distinctive twist, in case you need some inspiration.

The closest manicure to the original trend is probably a minimally stylish milky manicure. Start with a light pink polish and finish with a shimmering, milky top coat to achieve the desired look.

You’re in the perfect place if you want to give the ensemble a lavender touch. Start by applying a thin layer of light lilac paint to your nails. For a striking variation, add an iridescent blue-purple shimmer afterwards.

1. Prepare Your Nails:
   • Start by filing and shaping your nails to your desired shape. Almond or oval shapes work best for this look​ (Entertainment Tonight)​.
   • Apply a base coat to create a smooth surface. OPI’s Nail Envy Nail Strengthener is a good option as it fills in grooves and fortifies your nails​ (Entertainment Tonight)​.
2. Apply the Base Color:
   • Use OPI’s “Funny Bunny” nail polish as the base color. Apply one coat for a sheer look and let it dry completely​ (Entertainment Tonight)​​ (The Trend Spotter)​.
3. Create the Glazed Effect:
   • Once the base coat is dry, apply a layer of a clear, tacky base coat like OPI Infinite Shine 1​ (Entertainment Tonight)​.
   • Before this coat dries completely, use a pearl-finish white eyeshadow to dust over the nails. You can use any pearl white eyeshadow or the specific one used by Hailey’s manicurist, like Ismine Single Eyeshadow Powder in Shimmer Pearl White. Use an eyeshadow brush or sponge to apply it gently​ (Entertainment Tonight)​.
4. Seal the Look:
   • Finish with a clear top coat to seal in the eyeshadow and add a glossy finish. OPI Infinite Shine ProStay Gloss is recommended for a long-lasting, gel-like shine​ (Entertainment Tonight)​​ (The Trend Spotter)​.
5. Final Touches:
   • Allow your nails to dry completely to avoid smudges. For an extra touch, moisturize your hands with a good hand cream to keep them looking their best​ (Entertainment Tonight)​.

What You’ll Need:

1. Nail File and Buffer: For smoothing and shaping your nails.
2. Base Coat: Preferably OPI’s Nail Envy for strengthening and smoothing the nails.
3. Sheer White Nail Polish: OPI’s Funny Bunny is the preferred shade.
4. Pearlescent Eyeshadow: Any pearl-finish white eyeshadow will work.

Steps to Get the Look:

1. Prepare Your Nails:

2. Apply the Base Color:
   • Use a sheer white polish such as OPI’s Funny Bunny.

3. Add the Pearlescent Shine:
   • Once the base color is dry, apply a tacky layer using a clear polish like OPI Infinite Shine.
   • Before this layer dries, lightly dust a pearlescent white eyeshadow over the nails using an eyeshadow brush or sponge applicator. This will give your nails that signature glazed sheen.
4. Seal the Look:
   • Finish with a clear top coat to seal in the eyeshadow and add extra shine. OPI Infinite Shine Gloss is recommended for its long-lasting, gel-like finish.
5. Final Touches:
