Bieber turned to her trusted nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt, for this “fur season” style, as Ganzorigt described it on Instagram with a cheetah emoji. The long, oval-shaped nails feature alternating designs: one has a soft, sheer nude base with a cheetah-print French tip, while the other showcases a warm caramel-to-gold gradient covered in the same spotted pattern. The black dots vary in intensity and spread, executed with the precision Ganzorigt is known for. These nails achieve that perfect Hailey Bieber-approved mix of fun and sophistication.
As the founder of Rhode beauty, Bieber has already showcased some of this season’s most influential manicures with Zola’s help, including polka-dot tips, “vanilla cappuccino” nails, cats-eye chrome, and seafood decals. She’s behind some of the most talked-about nail designs—what else would you expect from the pair that gave us the viral glazed doughnut manicure? A twist on the French manicure is always a safe bet, allowing you to personalize your look and express your style within the timeless framework of a classic nail.
Thinking about trying the cheetah print set? It’s ideal for autumn: pair it with your cheetah-print faux fur coat for a Fran Drescher-inspired vibe, or let the nails stand out with a simple white tee, jeans, and sneakers. The options are endless—after all, animal print is a neutral!
From Hailey’s glazed version of the French manicure to her red-tipped variation, take a moment to revisit some of her best manicures so far. And don’t forget to save this cheetah-print design for your next appointment with your nail technician.
