The vibrant palette and rich design are a complete departure from Bieber's typical nail formula. Bieber usually opts for a subtle seasonal manicure and instead of intricate nail art, she often wears a solid shade with chrome, pearl or cat eye finish. Together, she and Ganzorigt created mega-viral manicure trends like hers glazed donut nails And lemon manicure with martini.
This fall has also seen particularly subdued nail trends, both celebrity and mainstream. “Nail art in general has taken a more minimalist stance,” said Tom Bacsik, the celebrity nail artist behind the toasted manicure trend. Glamor. “I think that maybe with all the craziness going on in the world right now, minimalism in beauty seems like a good balance.” But with a fresh season nail art inspiration on us (and excessively holiday aesthetics approaching), trends may become more extreme.
Bieber makes the case for a later approach: It's getting colder, the sun is setting in the afternoon, and our calendars have never been busier—so why shouldn't your nails convey a fun, carefree vibe? Better yet, if you do have an island vacation planned for the winter, let this be your excuse to splurge on a mid-season themed manicure.
