In order to achieve this glazed neutral nail, you will need OPI's Pale To The Chief nail lacquer, a mixing palette and this iridescent powder top coat.

According to TikTok’s revolving door of intriguingly named beauty and style trends, Hailey Bieber’s manicure is next — and is possibly the most sought-after aesthetic to date.

Coined glazed donut or pearl nails for their gently reflective finish and pastry-hued base, the model’s sheer almond-shaped nails have caught on because they are subtle yet elevated and universally flattering, according to other TikTok users.

Lucky for us, Bieber is no gatekeeper. In a recent post on her TikTok, she revealed all of the products and steps that her manicurist uses to create her now-signature nails.

Here’s my nail combo 👀 the 🔑 is to mix whatever color you choose with clear polish to thin it out ✨🫠 @Zola

In the video, currently clocking in at 1.1 million likes, Bieber explained that you start off by mixing a nude polish with a glossy top coat in order to make the product thinner and more sheer before applying it to your nails. This, she stresses, is “key.”

Once that layer has completely dried, her manicurist buffs on a thin layer of a reflective chrome powder, OPI’s Tin Man Can to be exact, in order to achieve the pearlescent component. Finally, she finishes if off with the same shiny top coat that was used earlier and, voilà! The result is nails that look tasty enough to eat.

If you want to try this out for yourself at home, we rounded up all of the products you need below, plus some alternatives just in case.

1
A neutral-hued glossy base
The sky really is the limit when it comes to finding a nude or neutral-toned base for your glazed donut nails. OPI's Pale to the Chief is the particular shade that Bieber uses, and it's a slight tan-to-pink color with a touch of shiny flecks throughout.

An OPI duo that includes a pearlescent powder and top coat
Glazed donut nails would really be nothing without the glossy pearlescent finish befitting a Krispy Kreme. This chrome-effect powder in Tin Man Can is the exact product that Bieber's manicurist uses to gently buff onto the surface of your dried neutral base. This kit in particular also comes with a high-shine top coat to finish the job, but, if you're dead set on this powder, jump on it quickly because it's selling out everywhere.

A best-selling high-shine top coat
According to Bieber, one of the key elements to achieving glazed donut nails is diluting the neutral-toned base coat with a clear top coat in order to create that iconic sheer finish. This particular protective top coat from OPI has an impressive 28,105 five-star-ratings on Amazon and an ultra-glossy finish that can protect your polish from chipping.

A mixing pallete made just for nail polish
Although you can really use any surface to mix your polishes, this faux marble slab looks nearly identical to the one used by Bieber's manicurist and also happens to be made just for mixing lacquers. It's constructed of natural resin material, which means it helps your product to maintain color pigment, won't absorb your polish and easily wipes clean when you're all done mixing.
5
A set of professional-grade files and nail shapers
Although Bieber's nails are typically filed into a soft almond shape, you can really do any shape of your choice. This 10-piece filing set has over 4,180 five-star-ratings on Amazon and can shape and prep your nails for their shimmering glazed coating. The emery boards are double sided with two different grit options and the nail blocks are great for buffing, sanding and forming nails into your desired shape.
6
A pearlescent top coat alternative
If you don't like the idea of working with powder or can't get your hands on the exact product that Bieber's manicurist uses, then this pearlescent nail lacquer from China Glaze can be a great alternative. When applied, it has a blue-pink opal-like sheen, and if it's too opaque, you can use the same dilution method that is used for the base coat. Reviewers applaud this polish's ability to remain chip-free.
