Earlier in the year Hailey Bieber introduced us to a nail look that would become a go-to for many of us neutral nail girlies: the glazed donut manicure. The pale, pearlescent polish combination quickly went viral on social media, earning Hailey the unofficial title of Manicure Queen.
Hailey and her perfect nails returned later in the autumn with a darker, chocolatey take on the neutral mani: chocolate ganache nails. The pearlescent brown hue proved perfect for a variety of skin tones, and the colour combination is still being worn by many of us as we approach 2023.
But now the model is back with another take on a sweet-inspired manicure – this time with a festive spin. Enter, candy cane glazed nails. Essentially, the look combines red French tips with a pearlescent top coat, and works best on longer, pointed nails. The colourway is already so popular that beauty retailer Justmylook reports online searches for "candy cane nail polish" have skyrocketed by 110%, and searches for “Hailey Bieber nails what to ask for” soared by 300% within a day of her posting the look on Instagram.
If you want to give the Christmas-ready style a try for yourself, Hailey’s manicurist, Zola Ganzorigt – who was the mastermind behind the first two glazed nail trends – has helpfully listed all of the nail products she used on Mrs Bieber.
“Prep the nails with OPI GelColor Stay Strong Base Coat. One coat of OPI GelColor in Funny Bunny. OPI GelColor in Big Apple Red for french tip. Apply a thin layer of OPI Chrome Effects No-Cleanse Top Coat. Rub the OPI Chrome Effects in Tin Man Can. Apply OPI GelColor Stay Shiny Top Coat,” she writes.
You can either ask for this exact shellac/gel shade combination at your next salon visit, or, if you’re attempting to recreate the look at home yourself, you can shop these products as nail varnishes online. Click here to buy the Funny Bunny Base Coat for £14.30, click here for the Big Apple Red tip shade for £14.30, and click here for a similar version of OPI’s Chrome Effects Tin Man Can for £8.99.
One again, we thank Hailey for her services to the nail world.
