The “glazed donut” nail trend continues to dominate, and it’s perfect for those who love a high-shine, pearlescent finish. This season, the trend is evolving with subtle variations that fit perfectly into the fall aesthetic.

To update your glazed donut nails for fall, try using more neutral, muted shades like soft taupe, ivory, or pale pink. These colors will give you that same glowing, glazed finish while blending seamlessly with the cozy, warm tones of autumn. For a more dramatic look, you can incorporate metallic undertones like rose gold or champagne, which will catch the light and give your nails an extra layer of dimension.

Achieving this look at home is simple. Start with a neutral base coat and apply a pearlescent or shimmery top coat. You can also add chrome powder to the top coat for that signature glazed finish. The key is the glossy, almost wet-look shine, so don’t skip the top coat.
