Before last year, I silently judged anyone that sat next to me in my nail salon that got nude nails. I mean, who wastes 30-ish pounds for their nails to look identical to how they looked before they sat in the chair? It baffled me. That was until this summer, when 'doughnut glazed nails' took off, thanks to one Hailey Bieber. I didn't think anything could top it, that was until Nicola Peltz debuted the "French Blizzard" nail. Trust me, it's as eye-catching as it sounds.
Mrs Peltz Beckham wore the nail art to her recent 28th birthday celebrations, which just so happened to take place at a spa – birthday goals, if you ask me. They're the perfect in-between of a bright arctic-white shade and a classic nude. Just take a look for yourself:
They *scream* owning a ski chalet in Aspen (well, we can dream).
There's also a glittery sheen added on top, hence the "blizzard" element. The ombre effect was perfectly paired with an almond shape to the nails, which is classically chic.
The mani was created by celebrity nail artist, Tom Bachik, who revealed he used Mia Secret's White and Rose Petal shades to create the colour scheme, as well as the brands extension gel tips to add length.
If you've not got a gel nail kit at home, we reckon Essie's blanc, Nailberry's Au naturel and Dior's Cosmic top coat are pretty spot-on dupes for a DIY job.

It's not too dissimilar to the nail art Tom gave Selena Gomez just a day later for the Golden Globes. We don't blame you, Selena.
