Taylor Swift has flown under the radar lately, but last night, she made her first awards show appearance of the year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. While she looked stunning in a custom seafoam green Wiederhoeft corset and skirt set (and what looks like a darker hair color and a tan), we couldn’t help but notice something else: her nails.
Swift often opts for fun colors on her nails, like the bluish-green opal-inspired nails that she sported in her “Opalite” music video. But this time around, it appears she took a page out of Hailey Bieber’s playbook and tried a new variation of glazed donut nails, but with a subtle twist.

Classic glazed donut nails, as we’ve come to know them, usually have a milky, nude base and a chrome top coat. But Swift went with her own version, which has a slightly more opaque, milky pink base and a more sparkly top coat. The overall effect is a little less clean girl, a little more showgirl. We’re officially calling Swift’s manicure pink sugar crystal nails for their soft opalescence (“Opalite” Easter egg?).
To achieve this look yourself, ask your manicurist to start with a light pink base that already has a slight sparkle, so that a chrome top coat makes it twofold. If you want to try the look at home, opt for a pearl light pink color.

Swift’s red carpet appearance last night also marked the first time that she went to an awards show with her fiancé, Travis Kelce. Swift took home seven awards at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, including the award for Best Pop Album of the Year for The Life of a Showgirl.
