Your Glazed-Donut Nails Are Just An Eyeshadow Away — Here’s How To DIY It

While many tapped into the minimalism of the clean-girl aesthetic over the past couple of months, they coordinated the accessibility of the look with a glazed-donut effect on the lacquers. Hailey Bieber’s milky-white, ultra-glazed manicure became the subject of a hundred dreamy-eyed gazes the second she modelled the star-studded look at this year’s edition of the Met Gala — and though most referenced the manicure at a salon, some DIY-ed it effortlessly. If you haven’t gotten around to channelling the trend on the nails, here’s how to recreate Hailey Bieber’s glazed-donut nails look at home in a couple of steps. Keep scrolling, and quickly, because the year-end is almost here!

The Glazed-Donut Mani Is As DIY-able As It’s Finger-Lickin’ Good

Step One:

The first step involves coating the nails in a splash of white. Look for a colour that’s a little bit translucent to play into the glazed-donut effect of it all. Enlist the expertise of Coconut Kiss for this phase of the look, and you’ve laid the groundwork for the manicure already. This nail polish is a milky-white shade that’s endowed with stellar chip-resistant and long-stay ambitions.

Step Two

Proceed to coat the nails in an all-clear base coat before going in with eyeshadow. Groundwork is a vegan and cruelty-free formula that glides onto the nails seamlessly.

Step Three

The third step involves going in with a glitter-studded shade of white from your palette. Connie presses the tip of a brush into the shade before patting the product onto the surface of the nail with feather-light flicks. You can wipe off any fallout around the nails with some nail polish remover. Under The Stars boasts a high-coverage white that’s star-studded with glitter and shimmer.

Step Three

All that’s left to do is seal the deal with an all-clear top coat. Just like the rest of the formulas, this one’s extremely long-stay and chip-resistant.
