Iridescent Glazed Donut Nails with Shimmer

The glazed donut nail trend remains a staple for effortless elegance. Featuring a pearlescent, translucent sheen over a neutral base, this look offers a glass-like shine that elevates any natural nail look with a subtle, glowing pearl finish.

What You'll Need

• Sheer milky white or nude gel polish
• White chrome powder or pearlescent pigment
• Silicone applicator or sponge brush
• No-wipe gel top coat
• UV/LED lamp

How to Create the Look

1. Base Color: Apply one coat of sheer milky white or neutral nude gel polish and cure completely under your lamp.
2. Top Coat Layer: Apply a thin coat of no-wipe gel top coat and cure for about 30 seconds (it should be slightly warm/tacky enough for powder to adhere).
3. Apply Chrome Powder: Use a silicone applicator or sponge brush to gently burnish the white chrome/pearl pigment across the entire nail until a glowing, continuous sheen forms.
4. Dust Off Excess: Use a soft dust brush to clear away any remaining loose powder around the cuticles.
5. Seal: Apply a final layer of high-shine top coat and cure to lock in the glazed glass effect.
