When Hailey Bieber and nail wizard Zola Ganzorigt whipped up the now-iconic glazed donut nails, the beauty world collectively screamed, “Yes, chef!” And we haven’t shut up since.
These nails didn’t just break the internet—they glazed it, sealed it with chrome dust, and served it on a silver platter. If you’ve somehow avoided falling into this sweet, shiny trend hole, congrats—you’ve resisted longer than my last diet. But for the rest of us donut-fingered divas, here are 10 Glazed Donut Nail Ideas that even Hailey herself would double-tap faster than you can say, “pass the cuticle oil.”
If looks could kill, these Glazed Donut Nails Ideas Would be the End of Hailey’s Reign
1. Strawberry Glazed: Because Your Fingers Deserve Dessert
Is pink your safe space? Then say hello to Strawberry Glazed nails. This baby pink-meets-pearlescent combo is basically what Barbie would wear if she got promoted to CEO of a pastry empire. Created by Zola herself, this look is soft, flirty, and totally edible (okay not really, but try telling that to my brain).
2. Chocolate Glazed: Like Mocha, But Make It Manicure
Love chocolate? Love glam? Slather your tips in a rich brown polish, then top with a chrome sheen so shiny, squirrels will mistake your hands for acorns. It’s like sipping hot cocoa, but make it fashion.
Bonus tip: Wear this look while making eyes at a barista. You might get free whipped cream. Just saying.
3. Classic Glazed Donut: The OG That Made Us All Unhinged Ah yes, THE mani.
Hailey Bieber’s signature nail—the one that made the world collectively run to salons and beg for “whatever Hailey has.” Think almond-shaped perfection with a your-nails-but-better nude base, dusted in fairy chrome magic. Still obsessed? Yeah, us too. And we’re still stalking it like it’s 2022 all over again.
4. Glazed French: Classy, Bougie, Chrome-Y
If the French manicure was a little too vanilla for your tastes, let us introduce the Glazed French. Same elegance, more pizzazz. With OPI’s “Tin Man Can” chrome as the finishing touch, you’ll look like your nails just came from Paris… via Sephora.
5. Glazed Hearts: Cupid Called—He Wants His Nails Back
Romance isn’t dead. It just got manicured. These almond-shaped babies have a soft pink base and teeny heart accents that say, “I’m sweet but I will block you if you ghost me.” Ideal for Valentine’s Day or any day you want to be absolutely adorable while sipping iced matcha.
6. Glazed Ombré: Wedding Bells, But Make It Instagram-Worthy
Bride-to-be or just obsessed with pretending you’re always walking down an aisle? This glazed ombré look—soft pink fading into white tips and finished with chrome—screams “happily ever after” and whispers “I get my nails done weekly.”
7. Pearl Glazed: When Chrome Just Isn’t Extra Enough
Got that main character energy? Add pearl accents to your glazed mani and flex on every minimalist in sight. It’s giving “understated drama” in the best way possible.
8. Candy Cane Glazed: Holiday Spirit, but Make It Haute
Remember when we were obsessed with this look in 2022? Same. This red French tip meets shimmer overload is Christmas party meets fashion week. You don’t need a holiday to wear it, but if someone hands you a peppermint mocha, don’t act surprised.
9. Lavender Glaze: Unicorns Approved This Message
Who says glazed has to be nude? This lavender look proves pastel girls can chrome too. Soft, ethereal, and probably how Elsa would do her nails in spring.
10. Natural Glazed: For Grown Nails & Grown Vibes
If your natural nails are thriving, don’t hide them—highlight of them. A touch of chrome powder on a clean base gives you that “I drink green juice and journal” glow. It’s subtle, stunning, and slightly smug (but in a good way).
Conclusion: Hailey Bieber Called—She Wants Her Nail Throne Back
Let’s be real: glazed donut nails aren’t going anywhere. Whether you’re going full-on strawberry fantasy or just adding a little shimmer to your naturals, this trend is the perfect mix of “I care” and “but not too much.”And for those keeping score: yes, Hailey has flirted with other nail looks. Exhibit A. But that glazed glow? It always pulls us back in.
