Glazed donut nails are a three-layer formula: a sheer milky base, an ultra-fine pearlescent powder buffed over it, and a glossy seal. The result is a soft, wet lustre that appears to come from inside the nail rather than sitting on it — vanilla glaze, not white paint. Because the base is translucent, the look self-adjusts to your skin tone, reading warmer and more golden over deeper skin, silvery-pink over cooler tones.
The name matters at the salon: glazed is not chrome (mirror, opaque) and not plain milky (no shimmer). Ask for pearl powder over a sheer milky base, sealed glossy. In Nailly's design studio, glazed is one of the five built-in finishes, so you can try the glow on a photo of your own hand before booking it.
