2024 was a big year for food cravings. Strawberry- and latte makeup were tailor-made for minimalists; lip combos became even better with “cherry cola” hues, and glazed donuts were on everyone’s mind, all thanks to none other than Hailey Bieber herself.
To call the Rhode founder a beauty magician would be accurate—one Instagram post or TikTok video is all it takes for her to launch a new food-inspired trend beauty obsessives will harp on for months. Glazed donut nails—done by her go-to nail artist Zola Ganzorigt—were perhaps her most popular contribution to the beauty world, coining the term representing a frosty, reflective veil covering the entirety of Bieber’s almond-shaped nails. From there, Bieber submitted several other iterations of the look and fans’ recreations took off, crowning the Rhode founder a bonafide inspiration for nail looks.
The best part of Bieber’s nail looks is that she finds the fun in mundanity. Typically always donning an almond shape, Bieber and Ganzorigt’s creations use classic hues—think lots of neutrals and a few pops of colors—sometimes dousing the full nail in a “glazed” finish. Scrolling through Ganzorigt’s Instagram page is practically a crash course in Bieber’s most alluring nail looks, and the perfect place to look for inspiration for your next salon visit. Luckily, we did the homework for you and sifted through Ganzorigt’s page to pull Hailey Bieber’s best nail looks.

Glazed Donut Nails
At the 2022 Met Gala, Hailey donned glossy almond nails, ultimately launching the craze we know now as glazed donut nails. Luckily, they are fairly easy to achieve at home. Using OPI’s cult-favorite Funny Bunny as a base, Ganzorigt rubbed on OPI’s Tin Man Can chrome powder for the iridescent finish. Naturally, OPI’s Tin Man Can is sold out indefinitely, but top-rated dupes include Beetles Chrome Nail Powder.

Tiffany Blue
You don’t have to wait for your wedding day for something blue—these Tiffany blue nails are just another way to join the glazed nail bandwagon. Ganzorigt opted for OPI’s I’m Yacht Leaving, a gorgeous turquoise blue with chrome powder on top to ring in the summer season.

Glow in the Dark
What better way to get pumped for Coachella than with a bright neon green glow-in-the-dark manicure? A far cry from the neutrals Hailey typically sports, this eye-popping set required a lot of experimenting. Combining OPI GelColor in No Faux Yellow and OPI GelColor in Green Come True, Ganzorigt also added a touch of glow-in-the-dark powder for a desert festival edge. The icing on the nail was the gold chrome squiggly lines drawn on each nail. See an alternative shade below.

Lemon Tart
Adding more food-themed nail looks to her repertoire, Hailey went the tangy route with a lemon-yellow glaze atop her signature almond-shaped nails. Ganzorigt didn’t specify what shade, but any lemon hue should suffice.

Glazed Candy Cane
Give your French tips a festive update by trading in a white tip or OPI’s Big Apple Red shade a la Hailey. Of course, a Hailey manicure is not complete without some gloss, which Ganzorigt added using—you guessed it—Tin Man Can chrome powder.

Cinnamon Latte
When it comes to your nails, the transitionary period from summer to fall means bright neons and pastels to the back and moody hues to the front. To mark the onset of autumn, Hailey opted for a toasty brown shade (which comprises five different nail polishes, according to Ganzorigt) reminiscent of a warm latte on a brisk morning.

Cherry Blossoms
Flowers are a quick and easy way to enhance any neutral mani. Here, Ganzorigt added tiny cherry blossoms to Hailey’s nails, painted in OPI’s Bubble Bath. To add shimmer, each cherry blossom was adorned with a pink rhinestone in the middle.

Teal Baby
When her nails aren’t dipped in a neutral color palette, Hailey likes to experiment with bold colors. How bold? Teal blue, of course. This time, her nails had less of a glazed-chrome finish and were simply glossy.
