Hailey Bieber's viral glazed doughnut nails are the sweetest summer nail trend.

This summer, glazed donuts have been elevated from everyone's favorite fried treat to an entire aesthetic, thanks to Instagram star, model — and oh yeah, wife of Justin — Hailey Bieber.

From the newly launched Rhode Skin founder, what started as a dewy skincare trend has migrated to nails. The minimalist, glowy look is having a major moment where it seems we are all trying to replicate the gleaming glaze of a Shipley doughnut. The look is viral on TikTok, with the hashtag #glazeddonutnails garnering a whopping 55.1M views and counting.

(For those keeping score, that number is a little higher than Hailey's nearly 48 million IG followers.)

So what are glazed donut nails? This latest trend is an understated manicure created with a nude base color and embellished with a chrome top coat to give that shimmery glazed effect. Beiber's celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt created the look to match the star's YSL Met Gala dress in May, and since then, everyone has been clamoring to do the same.

Houston beauty maven, philanthropist, and animal activist Kara McCullers recently posted an Instagram story of her glazed donut manicure with the caption "such a glazed donut gal," and she isn't the only one jumping on the trend. Vannessa Hudgens and Sydney Sweeney are fans of the look that can be tinted for a fun flavored donut style — strawberry glazed donut is currently Bieber's favorite.

According to Gloss Nail Bar in Montrose, requests for glazed donut nails have skyrocketed since they took off on social media. "This nail trend has been popular all summer," Andrea Hernandez of Gloss Nails tells CultureMap. "We get requests daily — many people come in specifically for that manicure."

Houstonians ready to try the trend for themselves can channel their inner Hailey Bieber at these local salons.

FALL FÊTE

Texas luxury boutique collabs with Houston designer for new fashion brand

Saint Bernard teams up with Houston designer Lyndsey Zorich for Love Note.

River Oaks District boutique Saint Bernard is getting ready for fall with a new collection created with Houston style veteran Lyndsey Zorich. The fashion-forward retailer and the founder and designer of Mason's Daughter teamed up to launch Love Note by Lyndsey Zorich, a new Saint Bernard-owned brand.

Saint Bernard doesn't usually collaborate with local designers on its own brands, making this partnership with Zorich special. She was involved in everything from creative direction and textile development to fabrication and production. Shoppers can expect a feminine collection with a playful take on everyday dressing for women who want to look put together, but not too serious.

Love Note officially launches on Thursday, September 10 at Saint Bernard stores in Houston, Dallas, Southlake, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as online. Customers will have to be patient, because another unique aspect of this collaboration is that the entire collection won’t debut at once. Instead, the brand will roll out in a series of monthly drops, each having its own seasonal point of view.

The Kick Off is the first drop in September. It is a game day-inspired collection with pieces designed for fall sports and weekend road trips. In October, The Lean In will debut with more feminine silhouettes, followed by Getting Comfortable, which focuses on the perfect layering pieces for Texas’s warm fall weather.

A longtime Saint Bernard shopper herself, Zorich's unique style and Texas perspective gave her a greater understanding of what Texas customers want.

“Getting dressed has always been one of my favorite forms of self-expression, and Love Note allowed me to take that idea from concept all the way through the finished product,” said Zorich. "Saint Bernard felt like the right partner, because I genuinely understand and love their customers. Love Note is meant to bring a little more playfulness to getting dressed, pieces that feel personal, special, and bring joy to everyday life.”

That individual connection is what Saint Bernard wanted in this project. According to Ashleigh Goyer, director of owned brands for Saint Bernard, the store wanted a new way for Saint Bernard to give customers something both recognizable and unexpected.

"She shares her perspective, her lifestyle, and her love of fashion, and she has an incredible ability to make getting dressed feel effortless and personal," said Goyer.
