Hailey Bieber has made the ultimate case for sentimental nails, dedicating her latest polished tips to her newborn son. The Biebers welcomed their first child via Instagram on the 24th August this year, debuting a notably usual name for the baby: Jack Blues. The model showcased her latest manicure (an obvious ode to his middle name) this weekend; a translucent and oh-so-autumnal midnight blue set. Despite its meaningful nature, this glossy mani is set be the nail colour of the season, or so the SS25 runway just indicated.

This is far from the first time one of Bieber’s effortlessly chic nail creations has made its way onto our beauty inspiration boards. Just a few weeks ago, the model and Rhode founder debuted a warm, lustrous sunset colour coined the ‘maple syrup’ manicure. Somewhere between a dark honey gold and a soft cinnamon brown, the coveted tone was yet another custom blend courtesy of Bieber’s go-to nail artist Zola Ganzorigt (also responsible for her latest blue tips).
If you’re looking to replicate Bieber’s exact manicure, you’ll be pleased to know that we have the shade name locked in: OPI’s dark navy ‘Midnight Mantra’. While the regular polish iteration is sold out everywhere, we’d recommend checking in with your local salon to see if they have the glossy tone on tap. Looking to dress up this uniform pigment? Try a deep chrome glaze (think glazed doughnut nails all over again) for the perfect finishing touch.
The SS25 runway has been making a major case for blue tones in beauty overall. Harris Reed delivered a playful rendition of pastel sky eyeshadows for its latest runway show at London Fashion Week, while Chet Lo delivered a collection of vibrant royal blue hair extensions to match its statement glitch-inspired fabrics. While it’s too soon to call it the shade of the season overall, it’s safe to say the ultra-cool hue has made a splash in the world of make-up and hair this month.
