Selena Gomez has recently been praised for her super-chic style, from her new statement bob to her simple yet beautiful nails! Since the trailer premiered of the second season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building earlier this year, the actress has been making waves on red carpets, in music videos, through brand partnerships and even hosting Saturday Night Live. While her style has been impeccable, we can’t stop staring at her nails.
While Gomez often showcases simple manicures, her choice in color and nail shape are what make them so beautiful and super stare-worthy—prompting fans to take her inspo images to the salon for their own looks. Many of her most famous manicures are courtesy of none other than man-icurist to the stars Tom Bachik, who’s the go-to tech for Jennifer Lopez and who has recently partnered with Mia Secret.
Here, we break down some of her most recent notable nails.
Pitch Black
Gomez showed off her comedic chops when she hosted SNL on May 14. But our favorite part was the chic black coffin-shaped tips she sported. Bachik used Gelux in Black for her stylish and statement-making look.
Soft French
When celebrating the launch of her collection with cookware company Our Place, Gomez opted for a milky white French. Her oval nails were polished with a sheer pink base and a soft white tip, which Bachik showcased on his Instagram page, captioning the photo “Sitting pretty with a classic French mani for @selenagomez.” The design took inspiration from two popular trends right now: milk bath nails (where tips are coated in a sheer milky shade) and the retro favorite French. You could easily recreate this look with acrylic, mixing two parts Mia Secret Clear Acrylic Powder with one part Mia Secret White Acrylic Powder.
Naturally Nude
Coldplay’s latest album, Music of the Spheres, features the track “Let Somebody Go” with Selena Gomez. For the filming of the music video, Gomez once again requested Bachik for her nails. He created a minimalist set of long oval nails coated in a sheer nude hue. Super simple, but so stylish, and hard to miss in the video!
Bright Orange
Gomez’s dedication to her nails is not new. In fact, PopSugar took notice a couple of summers ago when she sported tangerine tips, labeling them the must-have summer manicure. Bachik noted that Gomez asked for a peach-orange hue, and while these stunners are three seasons old, this shade continues to be a show-stopper in 2022. Try Gelux Gel Polish in Sorbet.
