We all know the glaze makes any doughnut ten times tastier. Highlighting this sweet concoction on your donut nails will make them stand out, for sure!
Tip: Can’t create the dripping look to save your life? Nail stamps are here to the rescue! Finish off with some clear lacquer, and you’re good to go.
2. À La Mode
It may be National Doughnut Day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t combine your two favorite treats into one! All you need is ice cream for some sweet, creamy goodness.
Tip: 3D nail art is the best way to make those doughnut bites and gelato scoops pop. You can add other cute accents too, like little candies and bows!
3. Cotton Candy Dreams

If you’re the type of fashionista who’s obsessed with everything pink and purple, these are the donut nails for you. They’re the cotton candy nail designs you’ve always wanted!
Tip: Add doughnut embellishments on your middle and ring fingernails. Leave the index and little fingernails with plain nail polish for that minimalist vibe.
4. Home of the OG
Believe it or not, there are some hardcore fans of the Krispy Kreme’s signature Original Glazed™ doughnut! If you’re one of the OG lovers, this design might suit your style.
Tip: Start with the iconic white base and green polka dots, then add hints of red. Don’t forget the 3D acrylic doughnut! You can even incorporate the logo if you like.
5. Dunkin’ Delish

Of course, we cannot leave out the true American classic: Dunkin’ Donuts. With all the colors you can play with, these donut nails will catch anyone’s attention!
Tip: To make things more fun and quirky, why not recreate the logo on your nails? The beloved iced coffee needs to be present too, or else it won’t be complete!
6. Sprinkle Through the Stars
If you want something that is more out of this world, this nail design will show you the galaxy filled with twinkling stars and doughnut meteorites!
Tip: When creating intricate nail art, it is better to use a fake nail or acrylic extension to simplify the process. It’s hard to paint planets if you’re doing it on your nails!

If you’ve always rocked nude nails, it’s not impossible to prep them for National Doughnut Day. You just need inspiration from Homer Simpson’s iconic pink doughnut!
Tip: Nude nail polish can complement a lot of colors, but more vibrant shades allow the details of the design to stand out. Go for vivid hues like pink, red, orange, yellow, and more!
10. Sprinkle Overload
Obsessed with donut sprinkles? These tiny sweet treats can make up a super cute pattern for your donut nails. A sunny base coat will brighten them up even more!
Tip: Practice creating your sprinkle pattern before applying them on your nails. Don’t focus too much on symmetry; it’s more fun when they’re creatively scattered!
11. Clearly Sweet

If you’re not a big fan of loud nail art, you can still rock these chic donut nails! A few coats of clear nail polish and some nail stickers will do.

12. Pastel Pastry
Pastel nail polish has been raved about for all kinds of nail designs, so it’s no surprise they’re the stars of most donut nail arts. Who doesn’t love colorful nails, anyway?
Tip: For every nail, choose two contrasting colors for more depth. You can also add some words and phrases if you want to go out of the box!
13. Tasty in Blue
