How to Get Hailey Bieber's Almond Nails

The Nails Everyone Screenshots

You know the ones. Every time Hailey Bieber posts, someone zooms in on her hands. Not her outfit, not her makeup—her nails. Because somehow she's managed to make “simple” nails the ultimate flex.

Here's what makes them so good: they're never trying too hard. Always that perfect almond shape, always that length that can run errands and glam up any outfit, always that glossy finish that catches light in the perfect way.

The internet will tell you this look requires weekly salon visits and a personal nail tech on speed dial. The internet is wrong. You just need the right Ezmio products and about 20 minutes.

What Makes the Bieber Nail Formula Work

  • The Shape: Soft almond. Not an aggressive point; the sweet spot that elongates fingers without making you relearn how to type.
  • The Length: Short to medium. Intentional, yet functional—open your own packages and still look expensive.
  • The Colour: Never just nude. It’s sheer, buildable nude with pearl or a whisper of pink—the famed glazed donut vibe.
  • The Finish: Glassy, mirror-like, zero texture—pure shine.

Step 1: Get the Shape Right

You have two options here, and both are valid:

Option A: Hailey’s Go-To

Choose Medium Almond Gel Extensions — this is the actual Hailey Bieber length and shape. Natural-looking, a touch of drama, and “hands look expensive” in every photo.

Option B: Same Vibe, Shorter

Pick Short Almond Gel Extensions for the almond silhouette without the length. Pre-shaped, zero filing skills needed, and part of our Short Gel Extensions Collection for easy, everyday wear.

Either way, you're getting that exact almond silhouette without spending 30 minutes trying to file both hands evenly.

Step 2: The Glazed Donut Formula

This is where people get it wrong. They think it's just about picking a nude polish. The real Bieber glazed look requires layers—specifically, the right base colour plus our Glazed Nail Powder for that pearl finish that broke the internet.

The Perfect Base

Start with Claudia Cloud One Step Gel. This is your foundation—the perfect sheer-milky base that makes the glazed effect pop. Other colours that nail this look:

  • Peppa Pink (warmer glazed finish)
  • Pip Pink (subtle pink undertone)
  • Steph Skin (neutral perfection)
  • Serena Skin (deeper nude for richer skin tones)

The Glazed Donut Technique

What you need:

  • Claudia Cloud One Step Gel (or one of the alternatives above)
  • No Wipe/Optional Top Coat
  • Glazed Nail Powder
  • Dusting Brush
  • UV/LED Lamp
  1. Paint 1–2 thin coats of Claudia Cloud and cure for 60 seconds under your UV/LED lamp.
  2. Apply a coat of No Wipe/Optional Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds.
  3. Dip your applicator into a minimal amount of Glazed Nail Powder and lightly buff in circular motions over the cured top coat.
  4. Dust away excess powder with the Dusting Brush.
  5. Seal with one more layer of No Wipe/Optional Top Coat, cap the free edge, and cure for 60 seconds.

Pro tip: lightly file the free edge before your final top coat so it can grip the edge. If glaze sits on the free edge, it can peel.

Step 3: That Signature Shine

The glazed effect isn't complete without proper sealing. If you're following the powder technique above, the No Wipe/Optional Top Coat does double duty—helping the powder adhere and sealing it in place. Skipping powder? The same top coat gives that wet-look finish that makes people ask if your nails are still drying three days later.

Thin layers. Always. Thick application = cloudy finish = not the vibe.

Step 4: The Prep Nobody Talks About

Behind every viral nail moment is proper prep. Boring? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely.

  • Push back cuticles (apparent length boost).
  • Dehydrate the nail plate (oil kills adhesion).
  • Prime if you’re using extensions (skip and they’ll pop off).
Shortcut: Our Prep & Prime Kit has everything. It’s not sexy, but neither is an extension falling off mid-meeting.

The Real Reason This Look Works

Hailey Bieber's nails are the beauty equivalent of the perfect white tee: they go with everything, never look dated, and make everything else you’re wearing look more expensive.

Why Ezmio Makes This Actually Achievable

  • Genuinely easy to use (tested on first-timers).
  • Long-lasting (no constant touch-ups).
  • Non-toxic & cruelty-free.
  • Created by women who actually do their own nails.
