Glazed Donut Nails - what is the trend?
Inspired by porcelain smoothness and a subtle glow that resembles sugary glaze on a donut. The glazed donut nails style combines the classic naked manicure with a chrome-like shine for a radiant nail look.
The secret lies in the right combination of products – a milky white or beige hybrid base and a delicate pearly top coat. This makes the nails look naturally beautiful while also dazzling with their finish.
How to create Hailey Bieber-style nails step by step?
Although the glazed donut nails style looks incredibly elegant and luxurious, it’s not hard to recreate at home! Here’s a simple method to achieve this effect:
1. Nail plate preparation
Every manicure should begin with proper nail prep. File them to your desired shape, push back and trim the cuticles. Then gently buff the nail plate, which helps products adhere better and prolongs the manicure's longevity.
Achieving the perfect “glazed donut” look isn’t just about the right polish, base gel, or even chrome powder. Equally important is shaping the nails. The style looks best on medium-length almond-shaped nails, which visually slim the fingers and enhance the elegance of your naked manicure.
2. Naked manicure – the ideal base
The glazed donut nails style is based on a subtle nude shade. To create the appearance of a healthy, natural nail plate, apply a thin layer of milky-white, beige, or nude-pink base, for example, our breakthrough UV gel Base One, now available in a new sleek version.
For this look, choose self-leveling products that smooth the nail surface and provide a flawless finish.
3. Glazed finish – chrome powder
The real magic of Glazed Donut Nails lies in the subtle pearly shine. After curing the hybrid polish or builder gel, apply a no-wipe top coat and then rub in finely milled chrome powder. Use a sponge applicator or gently use your finger. Dust off excess powder with a brush, then seal with a thin layer of hybrid top coat and cure again.
4. Final touch
To make the manicure look even more stunning, moisturize the cuticles with nourishing oil. This gives your nails a fresh, healthy appearance, and makes the glazed donut nails look truly luxurious.
