Key Takeaways
- Hailey Bieber showed off a set of “ice cream nails”—one of this summer’s sweetest trends.
- Experts describe the look as a “twist on the iconic French Manicure” with a tip that melts into the base.
If I could pick one activity to do with Hailey Bieber, it would probably be enjoying something sweet. Word on the street (ie. from a number of successful Rhode launches) is that she’s a great baker with an impressive grasp on the treat world. I already trust her opinion on glazed donuts, cinnamon buns, sprinkles, and jelly beans, and now she’s selling ice cream to the beauty world at large.
This year, one of our favorite summer trends is the “ice cream” manicure. Pretty and soft, the neutral design is perfectly suited for Bieber’s famous fingernails.
Hailey Bieber’s Ice Cream Manicure
The model shared a glimpse at the oh-so-sweet nail design in a recent Instagram post. In the photo, she poses for a mirror pic with her Rhode phone case and a matching Peptide Lip Treatment. At their base, her nails match the writing on her balm—a soft pink that transitions via soft ombré to a warm milky white at the tip.
“‘Ice cream nails feature a pink or nude base that smoothly transitions into a soft white shade at the nail tip,” Naomi Yasuda, a Sally Hansen global nail partner, previously told Byrdie. She added that the look creates “the illusion of melted ice cream colors, like strawberry and vanilla.” Orly global educator Julie Ventura also explains the look as a “twist on the iconic French Manicure. But instead of an obvious line, the soft white tip melts into a clean girl aesthetic, soft pink nude.”

Per usual, Bieber’s nails are long and almond shaped. Whether she’s jumping on or kicking off a trend, she rarely changes up that famous base.
Hailey Bieber’s Summer Style
In her mirror pic, the mom of one also gave a peek at her summer style (thank goodness she’s getting to the content early, because we need to copy). In the snap, she posed in a white tank top and backward baseball cap, clutching a guava pink refresher from Dunkin’ in her other manicured hand.

So, Hailey… ice cream date later this week? I can come right after my manicure—and apologies in advance that it’ll look just like yours.
