The bright palette and busy design are a total departure from Bieber’s typical nail formula. Bieber usually opts for a subtly seasonal nail look, and instead of intricate nail art, she often wears a solid shade with a chrome, pearlescent, or cat-eye finish. Together, she and Ganzorigt have created mega-viral mani trends, like her glazed-donut nails and lemondrop martini manicure.
This fall has also seen particularly understated nail trends—both celebrity and mainstream. “Nail art in general has taken a more minimalistic stance,” Tom Bachik, the celebrity nail artist behind the toasted manicure trend, told Glamour. “I think maybe with all the craziness happening in the world right now, minimalism in beauty feels like a nice balance.” But with a fresh season of nail art inspiration upon us (and over-the-top holiday aesthetics creeping in), trends might be swinging bolder.
Bieber makes a case for the later approach: It’s getting colder, the sun sets in the afternoon, and our calendars have never been more crammed—so why shouldn’t your nails channel fun and carefree vibes? Better yet, if you actually have an island vacation planned for the winter, let this be your excuse to go all-in with an off-season themed mani.
