Hailey Bieber bids farewell to 'glazed nails' for 2023 with unique summer twist

If you've been looking for some summer 2023 nail inspo, Hailey Bieber's nails are usually a safe bet—especially when it comes to her latest juicy, passionfruit nails!

While her glazed donut nails had their opalescent moment in 2022, it seems we're all more than ready for a bolder switch-up when it comes to our manicures, with everyone wearing more unique looks—from blush nails to dopamine-boasting brights.

Clearly, Hailey is also very on board with this change, as she's just debuted a new sunny nail look to celebrate the launch of the new passionfruit Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment flavor. Taking inspo from the vibrant fruit, Hailey is now rocking a bright yellow hue on her iconic oval nails—so for anyone wanting to copy her summery vibe, here's how to recreate her new mani...

Hailey Bieber's passionfruit nails

As we can see splashed across Rhode's Insta feed, Hailey has swapped her viral pearly nails for an altogether bolder shade, inspired by juicy passionfruit.

Thankfully though, for any hardcore fans of her OG nails, the new hue does have something in common with them—they're created using just one block color. This means they're pretty straightforward for anyone doing their Biab or gel manis at home.

From the looks of it, the new nails also include a shimmer reminiscent of Hailey Bieber's chrome nails, but it seems sheerer and more subtle, letting the pop of yellow take center stage.

We can't wait to rock this nail design poolside this summer, along with Hailey Bieber's swimwear aesthetic. But before we can do that, urm...how do we recreate her new passionfruit nail look?

How to recreate Hailey Bieber's passionfruit nails

First things first, you'll need a bright yellow nail shade. Since Hailey's nails are a simple, one-block shade and shimmer, you can either use normal polishes or gels to copy her look.

If you're using gels, we'd recommend using either a neon yellow or a mustard-like warm yellow, with a subtle pearly shimmer. Alternatively, you can also just forgo the shimmer and opt for a high-shine top got to bring that jelly/juicy effect.

Now onto the method! If you're doing gels, you'll first want to prep the nails and apply a base coat. Then apply one to two coats of your yellow shade, followed by either subtle chrome powder and top coat, or just a high shine top coat. 

Here's a step-by-step guide to screenshot...

1. First, apply one clear base coat layer (if using gel, cure between each polish step)
2. Next, apply a layer of your yellow (or two if you want a stronger more opaque color like Hailey's)
3. Add a clear top coat
4. You can stop at the top coat, or finish off by rubbing on a chrome powder—or a pearlescent polish if you’re in a pinch
5. Then, follow up with another top coat and voilà!
