Hailey Bieber’s Fall Manicure Is Just as Trippy as Her Corset Dress—But Way More Wearable
Hailey Bieber has been standing ten toes—well, nails—down on the glass nail trend, but switched things up for 2025 Academy Museum Gala.
On October 18, the 28-year-old Rhode founder arrived at the Academy Museum Gala—sometimes referred to as the “West Coast Met Gala”—in a look worthy of the event’s nickname. Fresh off Schiaparelli spring-summer couture runway, Bieber’s dress accentuated her figure with a sheer corset with exposed boning and hip padding, giving the slight illusion that the rest of her espresso brown gown were, in fact, a low-rise skirt and strapless bra combo.
But that wasn’t the only trippy detail in the design, which featured a shimmery two-toned fabric that appears to shift as it catches the light, almost like the popular cat-eye nail trend. Of course, that brings us to Hailey Bieber’s manicure. To match her dress and toasty makeup look, Bieber ditched nude nails in favor of a chocolate brown cat-eye effect.
Following the event, celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt revealed exactly how she created Bieber’s nail look, which she describes as the “ultimate fall manicure.” She started with one layer of OPI’s Brown to Earth Gel Polish mixed with the brand’s No-Wipe Top Coat before mixing those polishes with a bit of cat-eye powder for the second coat. Presumably, that’s when she hit the nails with her magnet before adding one more layer of the No-Wipe Top Coat.
Though she did not include a tutorial in her Instagram post, which can be seen here, it seems to mimic the technique she used to achieve Bieber’s “cinnamon girl manicure” back in November 2024. Luckily, she did film that process for Instagram and TikTok.
