If you’ve been on Selena Gomez Mani Watch this summer, you know she’s spent most of the season sporting relatively low-key, classic looks. Bubblegum pink was about as bold (and as long) as she went, and she kept with the current glazed and milky trends by trying a shimmery white manicure. At one point, she went heavy on the shimmer but light on the color with iridescent, super-pale pink “angel nails.” And now she’s completely subtracting color from the equation — but holding on to the shimmer — with her latest look.
Gomez’s favorite nail artist, Tom Bachik, posted a closeup look at what he’s calling “naked summer shimmer” — perfect description for the simple, chic manicure the Only Murders in the Building star is currently wearing. It’s basically a your-nails-but-better moment: a modest length, a peek at the natural nails’ color, and a hint of sparkle.
Bachik shared that he used a shimmery topcoat by Aprés Nail called Heavenly to create the look. But instead of painting it over a color as topcoats are intended, he painted it atop the brand’s colorless Soft Gel Builder “for nail strength and protection.”
