At the 2022 Met Gala earlier this year, the trend-setting Hailey Bieber showed off her beautiful and iconic “glazed donut” nails! Mimicking the glaze topping on an actual glazed donut, these nails have a pearlescent appearance and beautiful glow. Hailey’s nails for the Met Gala were done by Zola Ganzorigt (@nailsbyzola on IG), and were created as a gel manicure. The exact process of creating Hailey’s glazed donut nails can be found in this video, but if you are looking for how to get a similar look without gel polish and no curing in UV/LED light, then this is the combo for you!*

*note: this is a winterized version of the iconic glazed donut look, and the combo I am sharing offers a slight pink undertone, as well as some cute snowflake nail art!

The Polish

The nail lacquers I used to create these iridescent wintery nails are a combination of a sheer nude base with a pearlescent pink color. The sheer nude base color is called “The Queen Takes Her Tea With Milk” by Olive & June. The pearlescent pink color is called “Pink Goldfish” by Olive & June. “Pink Goldfish” is the most stunning color I’ve put on my nails – it’s a MUST in my polish collection!

The Application Process

After applying your favorite clear base coat, apply one coat of the sheer nude color. Once this dries, apply three coats of “Pink Goldfish”, making sure each coat properly dries before applying the next. This combo creates a beautiful, pink-toned version of the iconic glazed donut nails!

Optional: Adding Nail Art

Since I am a huge fan of nail art, I added some snowflakes to my thumb and ring finger nails to winter them up! To create the snowflake nail art, I used the color “Cheers!” by Olive & June. This pale icy blue color is perfect for creating a wintery design! For the snowflake, use a small dotting tool to create a tiny dot on your nail.

Then, taking a very thin liner brush, draw 5 lines extending from the dot in the center. Add two more very small lines, in a v-shape, to the tip of each of those five lines. Then add two more small lines in a v-shape to the middle of those original five lines. This will create a super cute snowflake design! Once the design is dry, apply one coat of your favorite top coat and voila!

Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been into cute nail art. I would spend hours on my nails and give my best attempt at painting designs using thin brushes or tools. I’m a huge fan of at-home manicures and trying to do things myself if possible. Recently, I made a discovery that has really amped up my at-home manicure game: acrylic paint pens!

Acrylic Paint Pens for Nails

A few weeks ago I was wondering how I can easily recreate trendy Pinterest nails at home, and then I came across the concept of using paint pens. I found out that it is possible to use acrylic paint pens (typically used for rock painting or drawings on paper) on your nails. I purchased a 15-pack of Artistro acrylic paint pens with an extra-fine tip on Amazon for under $20, and it has truly been a game changer!

Artistro acrylic paint pens seem to be most popular for use on rocks, but it does specify in the description that they can be used on nails. I have used them numerous times now since purchasing, and they’ve been great! The pack I chose includes a great variety of both pastel and bright colors, plus black and white. I find that the paint pens are very pigmented and dry much faster than regular nail lacquer.

The key to successfully creating nail art using the paint pens is to ensure that your base polish color, if you used one, is 100% dry. If you paint two coats of nail polish on your nails and don’t let it fully dry, the paint pens will not apply smoothly and will smudge the lacquer off.

I’ve been able to doodle little flowers, clouds, polka dots and more on my nails within seconds/minutes. I lock in my nail art with a clear top coat, and I absolutely love the results! The pens are fun to play around with, and I am considering purchasing the fine and/or medium tip pens as well to do larger designs.

I have a few videos on my social media showing how I use these acrylic paint pens to create fun, trendy nails at home. Follow my Instagram and TikTok for more nail videos! I will also link my YouTube video below showing my step-by-step process of how I paint my nails at home using the paint pens.

Of course the hardest part with any manicure on yourself is having to use your non-dominant hand to paint as well. I’d recommend drawing on a piece of paper some designs with your dominant and non-dominant hand to practice. Whether I’m using the paint pens or traditional nail art tools, replicating the nail art using my non-dominant hand is challenging, but with practice, I’m seeing improvements. Starting with more simplified designs such as clouds and flowers has made it easier for me to paint cute designs on both hands.

On the official website or Amazon page for Artistro, you can purchase individual packs of paint pens or bundles that include different tip sizes. I find the extra fine tip to be easy to work with, but I do think it can be too small for some designs I want to do. The fine or medium tip pens would be better to create larger polka dots, thicker lines, larger flower petals etc…
