When it comes to generating a viral manicure moment, Hailey Bieber is no stranger to spearheading trends. From her famed glazed doughnut chrome to her coveted tortoiseshelltips, we’ve been looking to the new mum’s polished fingers for pre-nail appointment inspiration since 2022. Her latest go-to? An official co-signing of the brown nails trend and the ultimate autumnal finishing touch: a ‘maple syrup’ manicure.
Sitting in the intersection between a dark honey gold and a soft cinnamon brown, the ‘maple syrup’ shade was a custom creation by Bieber’s go-to nail artist Zola Ganzorigt (who is also responsible for the glossy tips of Kylie Jenner and Sabrina Carpenter).

The artist explained that she used five different colours to create the model’s final autumnal look and while we’re devastated that her exact tone can’t be snapped up immediately, the final product is still relatively replicable. Try layering sheer coats of warm medium brown and butterscotch yellow polishes on any nail shape (short or long) until you find the perfect dimensional syrup hue. We promise, this September-ready mani shade is worth the additional work.
Bieber isn’t the only star serving up ample nail inspiration this week. Kylie Jenner debuted an ever classic merlot manicure, also courtesy of Ganzorigt. The glossy deep wine shade is effortlessly chic and a timeless autumn colour. The best part? It’s entirely affordable. While her exact shade (OPI’s Yes My Condor Can-do) is sold out, its similarly rich Malaga Wine is a perfect alternative. We’ll be adding to cart immediately.
And while we’ve driven home the sleekness of Hailey’s covetable new-season nails, the latest addition to her jewellery collection also hasn’t gone unnoticed. A diamond-studded ‘mom’ ring in an ode to the birth of her first child, Jack Blues Bieber.
