Hailey just dropped a Mallorca photo dump on Rhode’s Insta, and the zoom-ins are everything: sun-kissed skin, tomato-girl blush, and a brand-new speckled mani that immediately hijacked the group chat.
Hailey’s dot-dot-dot moment
If you’ve been clocking her nail journey, you know she kicked off June with lemon-yellow polish peppered in soft gray spots.
Now she’s flipped the script. The Mallorca set shows a sheer pink base with tiny white dots, then sealed with her signature glazed topcoat that Zola Ganzorigt seems to apply in her sleep.
It’s the same minimalist-meets-maximalist vibe that made her chrome nails viral last year – only this time the drama lives in the dots instead of the shine.
Sabrina did it first (kind of)
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” video featured an almost twin mani: translucent blush polish sprinkled with snow-white flecks. The main difference is a glossy topcoat and a few gems.
Zola spun a step-by-step tutorial and recreated the manchild look for us on her nails. Such a boss manicurist move. She also posted the exact product lineup on her IG reel, so the ingredients are public info: OPI Passion, Bare My Soul, Alpine Snow, dotting tool, done.
Dua Lipa takes it dark
Then came Dua Lipa’s vacation carousel: glossy black French tips on a neutral base, some nails drowned in white dots, others dotted only along the tip. It feels like modern Minnie Mouse borrowing YSL’s leather jacket.
Why everyone is obsessed
Here’s the deal. Polka dots are the friendliest nail art in the toolbox. If you own a toothpick, you own the skill set. Dip, tap, done. That low-barrier entry pairs with sky-high payoff because each speck catches light like micro jewelry.
The remix potential is endless: swap the base shade, blow up the dots, scatter them randomly, or cluster them at the tips.
It lands somewhere between 60s pin-up posters and the coquette vibe TikTok is drooling over, so the look nails both vintage nostalgia and sweet girly energy in one swipe.
How to copy Hailey’s exact look
- Base: One thin coat of sheer pink (OPI Bare My Soul).
- Dots: Micro white specks; load the toothpick, dab, and breathe.
- Glaze: Rub a chrome powder over a topcoat or grab any pearlescent topper.
- Seal: Clear gel topcoat for that sunglass-reflection shine.
Hailey has now worn polka dots twice this summer, Zolas’s tutorials on Sabrina’s and Hailey’s sets are out in the wild, and Dua’s dark-tip remix proves the motif is no one-size-fits-all. If you’re not wearing them, you’re definitely talking about them. Screenshot your inspo, steal your roommate’s bobby pin, and get dotting.
