This Hailey Bieber-Approved OPI Shade is Our Favorite Spring Neutral

It feels like just yesterday that we were all hooked on “glazed donut nails” when Hailey Bieber sparked the viral craze. Believe it or not, that was nearly four years ago. Since then, the internet has cycled through countless nail obsessions—from chrome nails to jelly nails and everything in between—but her influence hasn’t gone anywhere. Hailey’s nail choices still reign supreme, and we find ourselves coming back to her recommendations time and time again. Thankfully, nail content creators like Adeeba Khan (@yodeebs) have been able to track down Hailey’s favorite shades, and one in particular has been on constant rotation for over two years now: Hailey’s Rhode-coded sheer grey nail color.

Hailey wore the sheer grey shade in a video with TikToker Kensington Tillo to promote the Rhode Pineapple Refresh Cleanser in 2024, and unlike many of the trendy glazed donut shades of the past, we’re still reaching for this classic nail color regularly. It’s even still loved by nail enthusiasts and nail artists alike for its versatility and chic appeal—so we know we’re not alone. Read on to learn how to get the look yourself, plus some extra light grey inspo in case you’re searching for a slight variation on the sleek color.

How to Get the Sheer Grey Nail Look

In a TikTok video, Khan revealed that the exact shade Hailey used to achieve the dreamy grey tone is OPI’s Peace of Mined. Khan did the investigative work and messaged Hailey’s nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt, to learn the specific color. This is the kind of neutral shade that goes with any outfit, but has a slight eye-catching glow that makes it stand out as opposed to a darker shade of grey. Khan noted in her original video that the key to achieving Hailey’s look is to apply two ultra-sheer coats of the product.

Whether you’re looking to keep up with the internet’s favorite nail shades or just want to switch up your regular neutral mani to something more eye-catching, two coats of Peace of Mined or any other sheer taupe or grey shade is the way to go. If Peace of Mined is unavailable at your salon, opt for another sheer taupe or grey shade to achieve the look. We love OPI’s Taupe-less Beach, Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around, and Engage-meant to Be as close alternatives. You can snag any of these polishes for only $12, so this look is super easy to achieve at home.

Sheer Grey Manicure Inspiration

Sheer grey nails won’t go out of style anytime soon. Everyone, including Hailey Bieber, loves this soft, barely-there shade because it goes with everything, any time of the year. If you want some inspiration, here are some sheer grey nail ideas for your next mani.

Sheer Grey with Polka Dots

Sheer nails are subtle, so if you want your nails to be little bit more playful, adding little polka dots is the way to go.

Sheer Grey with French Tips

Add a simple classic design to your sheer grey nails with these thin French tips! It makes the grey base pop even more, and the stark white over top looks so elegant.

Sparkly Sheer Grey

When in doubt, adding a little bit of sparkle to your nails is always a good idea. You can use a sheer grey color with a hint of sparkle already in it, or top with a sparkle coat for a little extra glam.

Sheer Grey Ombre

This sheer grey ombre effect has me calling my nail salon for an appointment as we speak. It’s still so subtle but a little more edgy and cool-girl coded.

Glossy Sheer Grey

If you want your nails to be slightly more opaque but still a tad see-through, one more coat will do the trick. We love this option with its extra glossy top coat.
