Hailey Bieber's Velvet Snowflake Manicure is the style I'm planning to get at the salon this November.

      I often refer to Hailey Bieber's Instagram as my own beauty Pinterest board. From her skincare tips and behind-the-scenes photos of Rhode launches to her trendsetting manicures, I'm always taking notes—especially on her nails. However, I was surprised to discover my latest nail inspiration on Justin Bieber's Instagram, where her well-known husband posted a selfie of the two captioned "My favorite date forever," showcasing my early winter manicure muse: velvet snowflake nails.

      Alright, I admit I coined that term, but it's the best way to describe Bieber's icy, artfully frosted nails shimmering under the Dodger Stadium lights. Famous for popularizing the glazed donut nail trend, Bieber's signature manicure style often leans towards the milky and sheer, particularly when finished with reflective chrome powder. Judging by this front-camera photo, it seems she has traded in her recent milky French nails for a tulle-sheer version of the velvet (or cat eye) trend that's been gaining popularity this fall, and it absolutely embodies winter.

      If you’ve been to a nail salon in the past year, you've probably encountered the option for velvet nails—a dimensional manicure that achieves an almost 3D effect through the use of magnetically treated, light-reflecting polish particles. Dua Lipa's nail artist, Michelle Humphrey, has predicted the continued popularity of this classic style for winter due to its adaptability. "Velvet nails, cat-eye nails—they're quite big right now," Humphrey previously remarked to Who What Wear. "I think people are really enjoying how versatile they are."

      To get ready for my next salon appointment (this is the only image we have of Bieber's new manicure so far—I need more references for my nail technician!), I've gathered additional inspiration pictures to add to my collection. Keep scrolling for velvet snowflake nail ideas as we approach the season of powdered evergreens, sparkling champagne, and glittery holiday attire.

      Celebrity manicurist Betina Goldstein aptly named this sheer magnetic manicure "the glass slipper."

      I can’t stop thinking about this French-tip mani with a velvet flair.

      A nude base paired with a golden cat-eye effect gives a warm twist to this frosty trend.

      These silvery velvet tips with molten-metal accents are among the coolest nails I've seen lately.

      Another stunning example of icy French tips.

      Visions of sugar plums dancing in my mind!

      To add a splash of color, consider applying a mint green layer.
