We've seen tons of nail trends take over recently, including lip gloss nails and Hailey Bieber's now iconic glazed donut nails. The latest iteration of Mrs. Biebs' go-to nail slay, comes courtesy of Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline. At the Hollywood Critics Association's 2023 HCA Film Awards on February 24, 2023, Madelyn sported a stunning yet simple mani that her manicurist described as the glazed vanilla french manicure.
Zola Ganzorigt, the manicurist behind the viral glazed donut nail trend that has adorned Hailey's nails time and time again, did Madelyn's nails for the event. She posted Instagram photos showing off close-ups of Madelyn's manicure, writing, "When glazed donut nail meets vanilla french nail ✨🤍🫶🏻."
If you want to try the trend, we've got a breakdown for Madelyn's glazed vanilla french manicure so you can hit up the salon or recreate it from the comfort of your dorm room.
The main characteristic that makes the vanilla french manicure different from a traditional french one is its softness. You can either start by laying down a light-colored neutral nude base and then painting the french tip, or vice-versa — it depends on how subdued you want the final look to be. For a more natural look, go with a bone color or slightly off-white polish to paint the french tip instead of a classic bright white.
Once the polish dries, coat your nails with chrome powder or paint a sheer layer of a pearly top coat. Finish the look off with a shiny clear polish for the ultimate glossy, glazed finish, and voilá — you have Madelyn Cline's glazed vanilla french mani.
