If you're a beauty addict who loves experimenting with new and unique nail art designs, you've come to the right place! Right now, the beauty world is obsessed with the latest nail trend - glazed donut nails. As the name suggests, these nails are inspired by the delicious glaze on a freshly baked donut. And the best part? You can achieve this mouth-watering look right at home with some help from Lush Beauty products. In this post, we'll tell you everything you need to know to get started. So, let's jump right in!
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
Before you start working on your glazed donut nails, make sure your nails are clean and well-prepped. Remove any old nail polish and shape your nails as you desire. Apply a base coat to protect your nails and create a smooth base for the polish to adhere to.
Step 2: Pick Out Your Colors
The first thing you need to do is pick out your colors. For glazed donut nails, you will need a light pink or beige shade for the base color and a darker brown shade for the "chocolate" glaze. We recommend using Lush Beauty's 'Peachy Keen' and 'Choco Mocha' shades for this look.
Step 3: Apply the Base Color
Dip your brush into the light pink or beige nail polish and apply it to your nails. Make sure the first coat is completely dry before applying a second coat. Once you have applied two coats of the base color, let it dry completely.
Step 4: Create the Glaze
Now, it's time to create the "chocolate" glaze for your donut nails. Dip your brush into the darker brown shade and paint a thick stripe on your nail horizontally. Use the brush to spread the polish in a wave-like pattern, mimicking the swirls of a donut glaze. Leave some spaces in between the waves to create a more realistic effect. Repeat this process on all of your nails.
Step 5: Add the Sprinkles
No donut is complete without sprinkles! For this step, you'll need a small dotting tool or toothpick and some white nail polish. Dip the dotting tool/toothpick into the nail polish and carefully apply small dots onto the chocolate glaze. Be creative with your placement and don't be afraid to mix it up.
Step 6: Apply the Topcoat
The final step is to apply a topcoat to seal in your beautiful glazed donut nails. This will also give them a glossy finish, just like a freshly baked donut. Lush Beauty's 'Shine On' topcoat is the perfect finishing touch to this look.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Deliciously Glazed Donut Nails!
Now that you've achieved your yummy glazed donut nails, it's time to show them off to the world! We recommend matching them with a neutral outfit or some pastel shades to let your nails stand out. And remember, with Lush Beauty products, the possibilities are endless when it comes to nail art!
