If Dua Lipa's latest manicure is any indication, "glazed-doughnut" nails [2] aren't going anywhere any time soon. The singer recently shared a photo on Instagram where she can be seen wearing a tiny turquoise sequined bikini while laying in what looks to be a tree over the ocean. Lipa holds a book in her hands, and her perfectly manicured fingers show off almond-shaped [3] nails in a milky shade [4] with a sheer chrome finish [5].
The "glazed-doughnut" trend, which features shiny nails meant to look like the glazed topping of a doughnut, gained mass popularity last year after Hailey Bieber was seen continuously wearing the look [6]. Shortly after, her manicurist, Zola Ganzorigt [7] revealed exactly how she achieved Bieber's look using chrome powder, and then it was off to the races. The design is a favorite among celebrities like Simone Biles, Jennifer Lopez [8], and Sabrina Carpenter.
Since its initial introduction, there have been many different iterations of the trend, like "chocolate glazed-doughnut" nails [9], "strawberry glazed-doughnut" nails, and even "glazed-doughnut" french manicures [10]. The look is typically achieved by applying a layer of chrome powder over a sheer or opaque base polish.
Lipa opted for a traditional take on the trend, which is perfect for any occasion, from a tropical vacation to a red carpet event. Take a closer look at her manicure ahead.
