In May 2022, the glazed donut nails sported by Hailey Bieber at the Met Gala became an internet sensation. While the term "glazed" is commonly associated with the Korean beauty trend of dewy skin and Hailey certainly helped popularize the glazed beauty trend, she is quick to clarify that she did not create the term.
According to Hailey, the term has long been associated with skincare and was already well-known. Nevertheless, she continues to embrace the glossy aesthetic and incorporates it into her brand, Rhode. Hailey explains that achieving a glazed look is a top priority for her.
Hailey is a known model and entrepreneur. She is widely regarded as a trendsetter due to her choice of nail designs that are both elegant and striking. Her pearly glazed donut nails in particular garnered a lot of attention. However, her mother was initially not fond of Hailey's nail design choices.
Did Hailey Bieber's Mom Dislike Her Acrylic Nails?
Similar to many celebrities, Hailey Bieber has been exploring new nail trends and designs. While Hailey tends to maintain a natural aesthetic with her hair and makeup, she reveals that she has always been fond of manicures and experimenting with different styles. "Since I was a teenager, I really loved long nails, I always did acrylics, and it drove my mom crazy because she's so not like that," she told Allure.
Hailey Bieber has embraced the trend of ultra-long nails. However, over the years, the 26-year-old has transitioned away from acrylic nails and now prefers using PolyGel to achieve the added length. "It's basically a flexible gel that you can do extensions with, but you don't have to use anything acrylic, and it's a lot healthier for your nails," she says.
What Is Hailey Bieber's Favorite Nail Polish?
Hailey Bieber's current favorite nail technique involves using chrome dust to achieve a unique, eye-catching look. She explains that her nail artist, Zola, applies a thin layer of color before rubbing chrome dust over it.
Hailey also enjoys experimenting with custom color combinations, such as creating a jelly-like effect by mixing a deep purple shade with a clear polish. Her current obsession with chrome has led her to pair the metallic sheen with a variety of polishes, including vibrant shades like fuchsia pink and neon yellow.
Hailey's Instagram account showcases her thoughtful and chic approach to nail designs.
"I like to play around with different colors, especially. I really love right now, for the season, really dark browns, like toffee, chocolates, and dark forest green." As for her nail shape, she said in an interview that it depends on her mood, "Sometimes I'll like the pointier side, sometimes just my natural nail shape but longer," Hailey explained.
"I've been able to play with my nails a bit more during COVID because I'm not working as much and when I'm working more consistently, I have to have as neutral of a nail as possible because different magazines or clients or jobs want different things, and most of the time it's a very short, neutral nail."
What Is Hailey Bieber's Secret To Maintaining Her Long Nails?

She also applies gel nail polish on top to prevent chipping. While Hailey prefers her nails to be slightly longer than her natural length, she typically avoids intricate designs. Hailey finds inspiration for her nails on Instagram and saves images for future reference.
Hailey's nail technician, Zola Ganzorigt, also shared her take on the importance of caring for your nails, "Nail prep is the most important part to keep your nails healthy. I really like Orly tools and cleaning products to prep. A common mistake I see is when people clean the cuticle, but they don’t clean up the nail bed," Zola told Vogue.
Is Hailey Bieber Always Wearing Her Chic Neutral Nails?
Hailey Bieber is known for her understated fashion sense and neutral color palette, but she was oftentimes spotted sporting bright-colored nail polish. The model surprised fans with her unexpected pop of color in a holiday campaign for Tiffany and Co. in November 2022.
In one of the campaign images, Hailey posed with a well-manicured hand, showcasing a pair of gold and diamond statement earrings and simple stacked necklaces, bracelets, and a twisted gold ring, drawing attention to the bold red nail polish, which is a departure from her previous preference for glazed donut nails.
Hailey Bieber also opted for a bright yellow polish when she attended Coachella together with Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye. The highlighter hue beautifully complemented her glowing tan skin and the bold look was elevated with a glossy top coat. In March 2023, for her husband’s (Justin Bieber) backyard birthday party, Hailey posted snaps on her Instagram account sporting a perky yellow polish, complementing it a neon pink eyeliner, a black leather jacket, and delicate hair bows to create a fun, sweet, and sexy overall look.
What Are Other Things Hailey Bieber's Mom Influenced Her To Do?
Hailey Bieber's mother, Kennya Baldwin, and grandmother instilled a strong focus on skincare in her from a young age. The Rhode founder shared with Vogue that her disciplined beauty routine is credited to her upbringing. In the podcast, Hailey explained that her mother used to slather her with lotions and creams after every shower, and emphasized the importance of hydration for the skin.
As a result, Hailey was exposed to cleansing, moisturizing, and skincare early on, and these practices became integral parts of her routine from a young age.
Another habit she picked up from her mother was removing makeup before bed, a cardinal rule that she has never broken. Her skincare obsession has now come full circle with the launch of her skincare brand, Rhode and her mother and grandmother have become fans of her brand and love using its products.
