After taking the internet by storm, Hailey Beiber’s “Glazed Donut Nails” moment seems to be over. While they are undeniably beautiful and timeless, these days, the internet is all about “Lip Gloss Nails”. Gorgeous, understated, and oh so easy to DIY, lip gloss nails are the nail equivalent of the “clean girl look”. Dewy and natural, these nails look as if you slicked a coat of the viral Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil on. Read on to learn how to get the look. 

Step 1: In the buff

Your natural nails are the star of this look, so having them nice and tidy is pretty important. The first step is to wash your hands, making sure your nails are super clean. Then cut and file your nails into whatever shape you desire, and buff to get them nice and shiny. 

Step 2: paint the town pink 

The next step is to paint your nails, making sure to use a sheer formula. A pretty pink or a nice nude will do. You don’t want to completely cover up your natural nail color, you just want to enhance it.

Step 3: Shine baby, shine 

The last, and perhaps most important step of all is to seal the look with a high shine clear top coat. That is what gives the nails the glossy look, without the stickiness of actual lip gloss.

And that’s it! Surprisingly easy to do at home, and a simple way to pull any look together, lip gloss nails are a clean cut classic sure to stick around.
