Move over matte and glossy finishes, there’s a new nail trend on the block that’s making us all a little hungrier. Yes, you heard it right, the glazed-nails trend, reminiscent of our favorite doughnut glaze, is sweeping the fashion world, and it’s here to stay. Sweet, shiny, and irresistibly eye-catching, here’s the low-down on the manicure that everyone’s craving.
What Are Glazed Nails?
At first glance, glazed nails might look like your regular glossy-finished nails. But look closer, and you’ll see a depth, a multi-dimensional shimmer that makes the nails look as though they’ve been dipped in sweet, clear doughnut glaze. The result? A tantalizingly dewy and wet look that is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Why The Hype?
- Unique Finish: Unlike a standard glossy nail, the glazed look offers a juicy appearance, making nails look plumper and more vibrant.
- Versatility: While the trend began with clear glaze, it’s evolved. Now, you can get your nails glazed with tints of pinks, blues, or any color of the rainbow.
- Long-lasting: With the right top coat, the glazed nail look can last without chipping, maintaining its luscious shine.
- Suits All Nail Lengths: Whether you have long talons or prefer a shorter, squared finish, the glazed look complements all nail shapes and lengths.
Getting The Look
If you’re tempted to get this delicious look, here’s a quick guide:
- Prep Your Nails: Like all great manicures, start with clean, shaped nails.
- Base Coat: Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
- Choose Your Color: Opt for a transparent look or pick a tinted glaze.
- Layer Up: Apply multiple thin coats, letting each dry in-between to achieve that deep, juicy appearance.
- Protect with Top Coat: Seal your look with a clear top coat for longevity.
DIY or Salon?
While many rush to the salon for a professional touch, with the right tools, you can achieve this look at home. Invest in a high-quality, thick, glossy top coat and practice layering for that perfect glaze.
Conclusion
The glazed-nails trend brings a touch of sweetness to the world of manicures. Its captivating shine and depth are a testament to its popularity. And, let’s be real: who wouldn’t want their nails looking like they’ve been dipped in their favorite sugary treat?
