Trend Tuesday

If you haven’t heard about 2023’s newest nail trend – Glazed Donut Nails – let’s backtrack to Hailey Bieber’s 2022 Met Gala appearance, where she was one of the first stars to sport this ethereal nail look.

Glazed donut nails are more subtle than a full on chrome look, yet they have more dimension than the classic cream finish. The overall effect resembles that of a professionally glazed donut. Think of your Dunkin’ and Krispy Creme favourites and this sweet treat has delivered inspiration for Spring’s most wanted nail trend.

Imagine a gleaming effect, over a milky white or a sheer pale pink base, and the surprising thing is, even though this look is totally neutral, it’s totally versatile and easy to wear for absolutely anyone. While it looks amazing on longer, almond shaped nails, glazed donut finish flatters all nail lengths and shapes.

There are a number of ready to wear nail colours that will champion the glazed donut look this spring…

The Glazing Over duo from Nails Inc has to be the dreamiest colour pairing to bring about the best donut icing memories. Both shades are formulated in Nails Inc’s signature long wearing formula and with a pro-wide brush for easy, even application, the viral glazed-donut look can be yours in a few swipes!

Essie are never too far away from a big beauty trend and the American brand are already a couple of steps ahead of the shining, gleaming glazed donut and “lipgloss” nail effect thanks to their collection of ballet soft neutrals that even have a royal seal of approval! (Ballet Slippers, a sheer pink nude, was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth).

Essie’s Birthday Girl

If there’s a shade that’s a nod to the fairytale glazed donut finish from Essie, one of the best ones is a fairy cake pink shimmer with a gold shift called Birthday Girl. This shade, we don’t think is talked about enough, but maybe it may become one of the trending hues this Spring, because of everyone’s quest for polished, soft neutrals.

Go to http://www.essie.com to discover a range of neutrals, pastels, shimmers and other exciting finishes, including…

Expressie FX in Iced Out. If you’re looking to get glazed in minutes, Expressie are Essie’s speedy drying range of polishes and Iced Out is a sheer white opal pearl that can be worn alone for a subdued shimmer or over any nude or dark creme shade for a multidimensional look. Holographic, colour shifting and in a hue that goes with just about anything, Iced Out is the ultimate glazed donut shade!

Zoya Professional Lacquer in Leia is also giving us that colour flipping, ethereal opal vibe and Zoya describe this shade as sheer opalescent white with flecks of fuchsia, green and gold that’s just as stunning worn on it’s own or over other shades. Available at http://www.zoya.com

If you’re a frequent flyer to your local Boots stores, check out their My Mood range of nail polishes that are a purse friendly £5 each. So Pearl, So Dreamy and Soul are the perfect glazed donut effect shades! 💅🏻 🍩
