Hailey Bieber’s DIY Nail Art Is the Budget-Friendly Cure for Boring Summer Manicures

Hailey Bieber took a break from clean girl manicures for perfectly imperfect DIY nail art.

On May 24, the 29-year-old model and Rhode founder shared a roundup of photos from her trip to Seoul, which basically serves as a summer packing guide for anyone who hates to check a bag. Bieber styled two unique looks out of the same pair of low-rise black trousers and kitten-wedge thong sandals, starting with a black crochet top over a white tank top before trading the tops out for white t-shirt and khaki linen blazer with a completely different vibe.

Speaking of different vibes, Bieber tried something new with her nails, opting for a butter yellow manicure with swirling blue ovals at the center. But before you run to nail artist Zola Ganzorigt’s Instagram page for a tutorial, just know Bieber painted these ones all on her own. “Yes I did do this nail art on myself and yes I will be taking appointments,” she wrote on her Instagram story.

Likely an homage to her son Jack Blue Bieber, Bieber painted blue ovals over her yellow nails, seemingly unfussed over keeping them uniform in size and shape. To recreate the look, one would only need to apply a base coat and one layer of butter yellow polish (like OPI’s Blinded by the Ring Light) for a more translucent finish. Then make a dot of navy polish at the center and use a nail brush to paint your oval. Finish with a layer of top coat, et voilà! Of course, if you’re using gel polishes, make sure to cure between each step.
