About Glazed Donut Nails

Hailey Bieber nails originated from the look that nail artist Zola Ganzorigt created for the 2022 Met Gala. She used a beige-pink nail polish mixed with a clear nail polish to make it sheerer, then topped it with a pearly chrome powder for those eye-catching, iridescent effects.

(Since we are recreating this at home nail inspiration as an easy DIY, I will be recommending nail polish only and not powder.)

Below, I share the steps for doing DIY glazed donut nails at home with my personal nail polish picks from the 100+ I own from Olive & June, followed by Olive & June’s nail polish shade recommendations for these Hailey Bieber nails. Lastly, I share some “spin-off” ideas for “flavored” glazed donut nails, inspired by a strawberry glazed donut and an apple cider glazed donut.

Step 2: Paint your glazed donut nails.

I tested MANY nail polish combinations to arrive at the look I recommend most to achieve the glazed donut look at home. Below is the “recipe” I liked the best and recommend to you:

1. One coat of Nail Primer
2. Two very thin coats of The Queen Takes Her Tea With Milk (neutral sheer)
3. One coat of Pink Capiz (milky pink iridescent) 
4. One coat of Super Glossy Top Coat

By the way, sheer nail polish can be difficult for newbies. It helps to paint the coats thin and wait five minutes between coats. It’s a pain, I know, but it’s worth it in the end when your nails remain smudge-free!

Step 3: Hydrate your skin.

Lastly, it’s just as important to hydrate your skin as much as it is to prep your nails! Even the best paint job won’t look as good without moisturized cuticles and hands.

I always use Olive & June’s award-winning Cuticle Serum and Hand Serum after my nails are dry.

Then, I use the Overnight Hand Treatment before bed that night. This is actually my favorite Olive & June product ever. You wake up the next morning with skin as soft as a baby’s!

Now your glazed donut nails are complete.

Alternative Options for Glazed Donut Nails

Below are Olive & June’s nail polish recommendations for glazed donut nails, in case you want some more options.

Olive & June posted them before Pink Capiz (which I recommend) was released, and personally, I think Pink Capiz works better for this look generally, but it’s up to you to determine the exact flair you want your mani to have!
