When Hailey Bieber and her nail artist, Zola Ganzoright, created the “glazed donut” manicure, lives were changed. (We’d bet it’s shaping up to be the most popular nail design of the 21st century.) You’re likely to know at least one person at all times donning the manicure, that’s how popular and everlasting the design has become. The soft pearly chrome look is a staple for special occasions, everyday wear, and everything else in between, and it’s easy to understand why: The barely-there shimmer creates the prettiest shine that feels elevated and modern.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite glazed donut nail ideas to try for a glowy, Hailey Bieber-approved mani.
Strawberry Glazed
If your go-to in the nail salon is a baby pink shade, “strawberry glazed” nails will be your new obsession. Created by Ganzorigt, the look features a light pink base and is topped with a pearlescent chrome sheen.
Chocolate Glazed
Chocolate glazed nails look just as delicious as they sound. Like all the glazed nail looks, it’s pretty straightforward: Paint on a brown shade of your choice and finish the look with a light-reflecting top coat.
Classic Glazed Donut
How can you make a round-up of glazed donut nails with including Hailey Bieber herself (spoiler alert: you can’t!). This version of the look features her signature long almond shape painted with a nude, your-nails-but-better shade of beige and topped with a sprinkle of chrome dust.
Glazed French
A glazed twist on the classic French manicure adds a bit of oomph to the classic nail design. Ganzorigt’s go-to chrome of choice is OPI’s Tin Man Can, which creates a beautiful subtle glow.
Glazed Hearts
The best part about the glazed trend is that it leaves lots of room for experimenting with nail art and designs. For example, manicurist Imarni crafted this almond-shaped manicure using a pinky-nude polish and topping the color with light-pink hearts.
Glazed Ombre
The perfect bridal manicure is a soft ombré glazed manicure. Sort of like a natural French gradient, blending the natural pink base into the white tips, but it’s topped with a frosty glaze.
Pearl Glazed
Get double the shimmer by topping your glazed manicure with tiny pearls. This look features a quintessential glazed manicure on almond-shaped nails adorned with pearl accents.
Candy Cane Glazed
The “candy cane” glazed nails arrived on our Instagram feeds during winter of 2022. Can you believe it’s been almost two years since the glazed donut craze began? The sweet manicure features a red French design topped with shimmer—perfect for the holidays or every day.
Lavender Glaze
Although glazed manicures are often associated with softer shades, they don’t have to be. Take this lavender glazed manicure, for example, which pairs the soft hue with reflective chrome.
Natural Glazed
Growing out your natural nails? Opt to top them with a touch of chrome powder to create a natural glazed look that’s equal parts casual and chic.
