Well, we've been influenced. Hailey Bieber’s latest glazed nail look, cinnamon roll nails, are as sweet as they sound, and we’re going to serve you up with a helping of inspo to try it out for yourself.
Although it might just be a way to promote the model's new Rhode lip peptide, we can't deny the whole vibe is simply stunning, and everybody wants the look.
If you, too, want to get the look, you’ll need a cinnamon-coloured gel polish, a shimmery topper for the ‘glaze’, and other mani application essentials (Base Coat, Top Coat…). Here are our top picks (which you can grab with free delivery*, you’re welcome):
So, if you want to try some glazed cinnamon nails and learn how to take the cinnamon colour to a whole new level, keep reading.

What are Cinnamon Nails?
Cinnamon rolls, cinnamon lattes, and now cinnamon nails. This festive spice has sprinkled its way into every aspect of our lives, now including our nail polish choices.
Hailey Bieber by no means created cinnamon-coloured nails, but she definitely put them on the map (or rather our FYP).
Cinnamon nails, or cinnamon roll nails, consist of a cinnamony-bronze base colour with a shimmery topper.
We seriously love this nail look because it matches perfectly with the cosy vibes of autumn and winter. Plus, it’s super versatile and will elevate any outfit, whether you’re going for a casual day look or dressing up for a festive party.
How to Do Cinnamon Nails Yourself at Home
Sadly, not all of us are privy to a celebrity nail tech when we fancy a new set of nails. So, we’re about to help you become your own nail tech right at home.
Hailey’s OG look features a magnetic polish, but you can definitely recreate the look with a shimmery or iridescent top coat.
Read on for our step-by-step on achieving your very own home-baked cinnamon roll nails…
Make sure you have your gel nail prep essentials ready!
Step 1) Prep your nails so they’re ready for polish. (If you need nail prep advice, head to our Gel Polish Application How To.)
Step 2) After applying and curing your base coat, apply your chosen cinnamon nail colour. We love our Bronze Goddess shade for this look, but you can also use Earthy Vibe and customise your glazed topper choice.
Step 3) Cure your base colour for 60 seconds under the Mylee Pro Convex LED Lamp or Grande Lamp (these will give you the best, full cure for lasting power).
Step 4) If you’ve applied a shimmery gel colour, apply a clear No Wipe Top Coat over your base colour. If you’ve used a solid base colour, apply either Glitter No Wipe Top Coat or Iridescent No Wipe Top Coat. (Or, go in with the glitter topper first and the iridescent topper after). Cure for another 60 seconds after applying and in between any layers.
Step 5) Apply a drop of cuticle oil and massage into your nails to nourish and hydrate. And there you have it! Warm, cosy, and perfectly baked cinnamon roll nails.
Other Cinnamon Spice Nail Ideas We’re Loving
Cravings not quite satisfied? Lucky for you, we’ve got some other delicious cinnamon-inspired nail ideas for you to try out. From little cinnamon accents to twists on the OG cinnamon roll design, here are some other ways to spice up your mani.
You can thank us later, but for now, take notes. You'll want to remember these looks for your next self-care night.
#1 Cinnamon Spice Latte Nails
We're getting cinnamon spice latte vibes from this nail look, and we just think it's the perfect unconventional French tip for AW days.
The French tip follows every single nail trend, so of course, it had to appear on our cinnamon nail list.
Using four nude shades, we recommend So Nude for the base and Cream on Top, Not In The Mud, and Rust for the tip. Use a nail art brush to create the wavy French tip for beautiful cinnamon spice nails.
How to use Mylee Nail Art Brushes
-
Choose the right brush for the art you want to create. If you're going for a wavy French tip like the one above, we recommend using an Oval Brush or an Ultra-Fine Brush if you want the waves to be even thinner.
- Dip your brush in your choice of gel polish. Make sure it's clean, so you don't ruin any colours.
- Create your nail art the way you like it. Don't worry if it looks a little messy; trial and error is a good thing. You can always clean it up with the Mylee Edit>Undo Pen if you need it.
- Now, you need to clean your brush. Add a few drops of Brush It Off Cleanser to a Lint Free Wipe, and swirl the brush into the liquid until it's clean. Simple.
#2 Cinnamon Swirl Nails
Ah, would you look at that? More cinnamon swirls. Good enough to eat (please don't).
Those nude shades are simply stunning and are the ideal combo from @ellyaalishwright for these cold and crisp autumn/winter days.
For this reverse Frenchie/side swirl (there's a lot going on), you'll need an Ultra Fine Brush and some cinnamon nude shades. For these, we recommend:
- Pastel Chic (for the base)
- Caramel
- Cream On Top
- Earthy Vibe
- Not In The Mud
- Say It In French
Understated and classy.We just love it.
#3 Cinnamon Glitter Nails
If you’re a glitter-obsessed gal or guy, this look is perfect for you. You can add even more glitz to your cinnamon nails with a bronzy nail glitter, like All That Glitters-Determined. This look is less glazed and more cinnamon sugar goodness.
After applying a cinnamon shade (like Caramel or Earthy Vibe), cure under your LED Lamp, and gently shake the loose nail glitter over the tacky layer.
Use a duster brush to sweep the excess glitter off, then apply a No Wipe Top Coat to encapsulate. Cure again.
Voila – perfect cinnamon nails for when you want to add some glitz to your life. Did someone say Christmas Eve party?
#4 Cinnamon Accent Nails
Okay, hear us out...
We know this one has a couple of shades, and you're thinking, 'Where's the cinnamon?' Well, take a look at @simlynail's ring finger. We spy cinnamon.
And we know it's not glazed, but who said we can't enjoy non-glossy cinnamon nails? They're festive no matter what.
Using the shade Chocolate Digestive, which has subtle undertones of red, create a swirly section. Then, go in with Paperclip on a dotting tool and a little bit of action from a nail art brush, and create some starry scenes. Is that festive or what?
For the other digits, use Circle Back, Matcha Latte, Office Fling, and Karen.
How to Use the Mylee Dotting Tool:
- Make sure you've cleaned your dotting tool before use. You don't want to mix and match your shades. Some Prep & Wipe on a Lint Free Wipe should work just fine.
- Your dotting tool has two ends: one larger sphere and one smaller. Choose which one would work best for the design you want to create.
-
Dip the end of the dotting tool into your polish bottle of choice. Be careful not to dip too far, or you'll get too much polish on the tool, which can be wasteful.
- Simply dot the tool onto your nail, and you'll be left with a small dot of gel polish.
- Be sure to clean the tool the same way we did at the beginning.
So, Are Cinnamon Nails Here to Stay?
The short answer? Yes. We think glazed cinnamon nails are an extension of the wildly popular glazed doughnut nails, set to get the same amount of praise and attention as their sister.
Are we mad about it? Absolutely not. Cinnamon nails are perfect for basically every occasion because of the varieties you can create with the colour. There are no rules; you can make it your own!
The low-key colour palette also compliments any outfit, making them the ideal festive nails when you just don't have time to constantly change your nails to suit your look over the busy Christmas season!
