The Original Glazed Donut Nail
Ganzorigt created the iconic glazed donut nail look for Bieber to sport at the Met Gala. She notes, “It was so unplanned and came out so pretty that it went viral.” It’s gained major popularity because it is so simple and flattering on all nail shapes and lengths. “It was different than your usual chrome nails since the base color is so see-through and natural,” adds Ganzorigt.
All it requires is a thin layer of a neutral shade, like OPI’s Funny Bunny polish, topped with chrome powder for the shiny effect. Ganzorigt’s personal fave is the OPI Tin Man Can Chrome Effects Mirror-Shine Nail Powder. Finish the look with a shiny top coat and a gel curing, and you’re good to go. If you’re headed to the salon, Ganzorigt recommends asking your nail tech for the glazed donut look or showing a picture of the chrome mani. She also posts a breakdown of each nail look on her Instagram page, if you’re looking for specifics!

The Chocolate Glazed Donut Nail
Most recently, Bieber showcased brown-tinged tips on TikTok, which she dubbed the “chocolate” version of the glazed donut nail trend. “We’ve been trying different colors, and brown is such a good color for fall,” Ganzorigt tells ELLE.com. “We wanted to make it look more like a chocolate donut, though.”
To achieve this, Ganzorigt recommends choosing your favorite brown color and mixing it with a top coat to make it sheer. For Bieber’s specific shade, Ganzorigt blended DND’s gel colors in Coffee Bean and Spiced Brown with OPI’s Stay Shiny gel top coat. She also started with OPI’s Stay Strong gel base coat and cured Bieber’s nails at each step. According to Ganzorigt, all you need is one coat of polish to make the look work. Finally, set your tips with pearlescent chrome powder or a pearlescent nail lacquer to get that coveted glowy effect.
In case you don’t want to go the gel route, you can also pick up a classic brown lacquer and top coat (see some of our picks below).
This gold-flecked caramel color looks similar to Bieber’s brown blend and is a one-and-done option for those who don’t want to bother playing mixmaster. Another bonus: Deborah Lippmann’s Gel Lab Pro technology is made to offer the feel and look of gel nails without any of the potential damage—it’s made with 10 nail-loving ingredients and comes free of harsh sulfates and parabens.
Alternatively, here’s a slightly more subdued yet equally inviting hue inspired by a milky latte. Like the rest of the brand’s offerings, the formula is also vegan and cruelty-free.
