If you keep an eye on the wide world of nail art like we do, then you’ve probably come across Hailey Bieber’s ‘polished donut nails’ a few times. Whether you’ve seen it all over your social media timeline, read about it in articles from your favorite artists, or brought it up in conversations with friends, you’re probably wondering how you can get that pink, pearl, and iridescent glazed donut look alone your. Apart from the celebrity name usually attributed to the look, it has also become extremely popular because it is simple and neutral enough to be worn anywhere, with almost any outfit, but still sophisticated and glamorous enough for special occasions. Plus, the glazed donut look is flattering on every skin tone.
Origins of The Glazed Donut Nail
The look was originally designed by Bieber and her nail stylist Zola Ganzorigt during a pre-Met Gala date. Bieber originally just wanted a clean white look, but Ganzorigt wanted to add some chrome powder so the nails would better match the YSL white satin dress Bieber planned to wear to the event. Both instantly fell in love with the look, and thus Hailey Bieber’s “polished donut nails” were born. That was back in May, but the look didn’t take off until the launch of Bieber’s skincare brand Rhode in June. The look went viral on social media, especially Tik Tok, and other celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens and Sydney Sweeney also jumped on the Hailey Bieber nail trend. In fact, both Hudgens and Sweeney had their glossy donut look nailed by Ganzorigt.
How to get the Glazed Nail look with Press On Nails from The Nailest
Although the appearance is very simple, the process is not as simple as you think. The radiant look requires multiple layers of product, including one available only in salons. The look can be imitated if you want to go the DIY route, but the most convenient way to get glazed donut nails is with press-on nail sets.
Here at The Nailest, you can find two different nail press sets that closely replicate Bieber’s viral look, so you don’t have to make a trip to the salon or experiment with one of the many DIY ways to get that polished, chromium. like a glow. Check out the Baby Boomer Chrome and Baby Boomer Ombre Chandelier Crystal Bling Glazed Donut sets. Both of these sets reproduce the milky white, pink color and shiny chrome “grit” that you and the rest of the internet know and love, but differ slightly in their finish. As the name suggests, Shiny Ombre Nails are shiny and more glossy, while Ombre Chandelier Crystal Bling nails have a more matte finish that doesn’t reflect as much light. Both come in a variety of shapes including short square, short oval, coffin, almond, stiletto and more so you can get the shape that suits you best. Not sure which shape best suits your finger shape?

If you know your nail trends like we do, you might remember the baby boomer nail trend from a few years back, and it’s actually very similar to today’s donut glazed nail trend. Both are very simple looks that are understated yet effortlessly chic and combine frosty (or glossy) and shimmery whites and pinks. It’s worth mentioning that baby boomer nails tend to be a bit more pink, but you can’t deny the similarities between the two looks.
