Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, & your Monday is off to a wonderful — or, at the very least, caffeinated — start.
Today I’m really excited because I have a really striking manicure to show off. I know glazed donut nails are so 2022, but you know what — I’m still loving them. I picked up a clearance bottle of Expressie FX Iced Out at Lawtons a few months ago, & have been itching to do some glazed nails with it. & oh boy — the results are stunning!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat
- Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
- Essie Ballet Slippers
- Essie Expressie FX Iced Out
- Essie Dive Bar
- Born Pretty Store Classic Patterns Stamping Plate BP-L006 (discontinued)
- NailStuff.ca Clear Jelly Stamper Set
How freaking gorgeous is the glow on this look? I’m actually stunned by how well the shift hits. It actually looks like there is a blue light behind my nail polish & I can’t get over it. I decided to apply some stamped stars over this base (using Essie Dive Bar) & I like the fact they’re not quite opaque because the glow shows through them as well.
They look ethereal. I can’t get over it.
What do you think of this take on the glazed donut trend? I know glazed nails are still having a moment, so I feel like I’m not too behind on the times. Or maybe we need to come up with a new name for these — like alien glow nails?
Either way, I’m very much obsessed.
Have a fantastic beginning to your week loves!

Love it! Glazed donuts are still on my list to try too. Might have to do them on my next manicure.
Thank you so much! I feel like the glazed donut look is one that will stick around for a while — it also makes such a good base for nail art too!
