Hailey Bieber's Most Iconic Nail Looks Over The Years
Hailey Bieber first rose to tabloid-level fame when she married Justin Bieber in 2018, but she's since established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the beauty world. Not only is the Victoria's Secret model beginning to build a beauty empire with her Rhode brand but she's also become the unofficial it-girl of the 2020s. All she has to do is post a single Instagram flick, and a trend is set for months — we saw it with her mob wife-inspired "chocolate syrup hair" and her take on the smokey eye. Above all else, her fresh and creative manicures have a particular knack for going viral.
Pretty much any nail look that Bieber dons will win over fans in seconds, whether she sticks to minimal must-haves or rocks the boat with a Tiffany & Co.-inspired manicure. It's no easy feat to narrow down all her famous looks over the years, but the following six absolutely put Mrs. Bieber on the map.
Glow-in-the-dark green mani
Remember those glow-in-the-dark stars you stuck to your ceiling as a kid? In 2024, Hailey Bieber put the modern version on her nails. Paired with a messy, tucked-under lob and grungy leather jacket, this mani is a perfect ode to the '90s. And if the photos are to be believed, the neon green on Bieber's nails isn't just bright — it really does glow in the dark!
Mob-wife cherry
We never thought someone as trendy as Hailey Bieber could seek style inspiration from Carmela Soprano ... until the mob-wife aesthetic blew up in the fashion world. Bieber paid homage to the trend with mob-wife nails, or rounded pink-and-white nails with a thick French tip. Bieber added her contribution to the craze with some intricate cherry art on a feature nail, which summed up the summery vibe of the July 2023 look.
Molten copper chrome
By now, we know Hailey Bieber is a master of chrome. She can turn any nail color into a hit by simply adding a metallic top coat, including her molten chrome look from September 2022. The combo of a thick, 3D texture and cool, copper undertone makes this mani much bolder than the barely there aesthetics Bieber usually goes for, which is probably why it's so difficult to forget.
Red-tipped French
Though she may break the rules sometimes, Hailey Bieber still honors tradition by sticking to red in December. In 2022, she infused her personality into her festive nails with true-red tips and a shiny chrome glaze. The perfect partner for her red lips and eye makeup, this manicure offered an interesting twist on a classic French without needing to venture too far out of the box.
Butter-yellow chrome
While 2024 is all about butter-yellow nails, Hailey Bieber was ahead of the curve — as usual — by sporting a butter-yellow chrome mani last fall. In true Bieber style, the metallic finish sets this look apart. You could replicate this chrome creation on any nail length or shape, but it's a dream on Bieber's long, almond claws. If it ain't broke ... you know the rest!
The original glazed donut
Just as you go into Krispy Kreme and ask for an Original Glazed, Hailey Bieber returns to her nail artist again and again to request her viral glazed donut manicure. Though she bats all her nail looks out of the park, there's just no beating the original look that earned Bieber her it-girl crown. The shimmery chrome top sits on the pearlescent-pink base just like a sugar glaze, and no matter how many new looks Bieber comes up with, this will always be our numero uno.
