Hailey Bieber hit beauty mogul status with the launch of her new skincare line, Rhode, and now the model is behind the latest viral nail trend to take over every beauty-lover's TikTok For You Page. She recently revealed the secret to getting her go-to chrome-white nails in an interview with Refinery 29, and it's all thanks to celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorig.
Bieber first debuted the pearlescent manicure at the 2022 Met Gala. The mani hit viral status when Ganzorig, who dubbed the look as "glazed donut nails," did an in-depth breakdown on what she used for the manicure on Instagram. Ganzorig used four OPI products to get the look; she started off with the Stay Strong gel base coat, added one layer of the Funny Bunny gel polish followed by the Stay Shiny top coat, and finished off with a Chrome Effects powder in shade Tin Man Can. OPI reposted the tutorial on TikTok, which received 2.6 million views.
Once the nail look made its way onto TikTok, it was an instant hit — now it's become the must-have manicure of the summer with the hashtag #milkynails racking up 14.4 million views to date. In one popular TikTok, user @yodeebs showed off how she DIY-ed the manicure at home using almost all the same products as Bieber's nail tech. Another TikToker, @chiaraking, posted her results after trying out the look with the caption, "You don't understand, I'm obsessed." The shift towards minimally chic nails is a dramatic difference from the bold nail art that's also been trending this summer; Bieber's nails may be signaling a rise in sleeker and simpler manis for this coming fall.
Bieber isn't the only celeb that's received the glazed donut nails treatment — Ganzorig recreated the look for Vanessa Hudgens recently, too. While some of the OPI products used in Bieber's manicure are only sold to professional businesses and have become hard to find due to a surge in sales, there are plenty of alternative nail polishes and powders from brands like Essie and Sally Hansen that can create a similar glazed look.
