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 18 of our favorite glazed donut nail ideas to try for a glowy, Hailey Bieber-approved mani.

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 tips with a nude, your-nails-but-better shade of beige, and topped with a sprinkle of chrome dust.

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 most 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.

A glazed twist on the classic French manicure adds a bit of oomph to the tried-and-true nail design. Ganzorigt’s go-to chrome of choice is OPI’s Tin Man Can, which creates a beautiful subtle glow.

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 look. Sort of like a natural French gradient, featuring a natural pink base blended into the white tips, but this version is 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 teeny tiny pearl accents.

Candy Cane Glazed

The “candy cane” glazed nails arrived on our Instagram feeds during the winter of 2022. Can you believe it’s already been so long since the glazed donut craze began? The sweet manicure features a red French design topped with shimmer—perfect for the holidays or any day, TBH.

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.

If you’re unfamiliar with Straciatella gelato (not to be confused with the cheese), it’s basically a rich vanilla cream speckled with decadent chocolatey bits. It’s also the perfect name for this neutral, white, and marbled glazed manicure we can’t wait to pair with an all-white outfit.

Cotton Candy Sunset

Cotton candy glazed donuts, anyone? Another Ganzorigt creation, this mani made use of a number of OPI shades (the list included Funny Bunny, Sky Blue’s The Limit, Go With The Floatie, Lime of My Life, Paintin’ On Sunshine!, Your Zestination Awaits, and Glowin’ On Vacay, plus the blue-gold Mermaid For Me chrome effect as a topper.

What happens when two of the ultimate nail trends come together? A blueberry milk glazed manicure, of course. Ganzorigt crafted this look for Khloé Kardashian to celebrate her XO Blue Eau de Parfum release.
