Selena Gomez Is the Queen of Simple Yet Chic Nail Looks, and We Want to Copy Them All

Published on 7/7/2020 at 5:25 PM

Whenever Selena Gomez drops a new music video, she never neglects the tiny details of her beauty look, right down to her perfectly planned manicure to match the theme. (We're referring to her nail art for the launch of her latest album, Rare.) The same goes for her red carpet looks and pretty much any other time she's out in the public eye — we've never seen her without a killer manicure.

We have Tom Bachik to thank for all of the nail inspiration that Gomez serves up. Bachik has been her go-to manicurist for years and is also responsible for some of Jennifer Lopez's best nail looks, as well as those on Hailee Steinfeld, Kim Kardashian, and Margot Robbie.

From clean, single-color manicures to bedazzled rhinestone nail-art looks and classic nude nails, Gomez has tried it all. Her signature color, though, is a crisp and bright red that she wears often. Whether you are a fan of minimalist nail trends or like to go bold with your manicures, Gomez has a mani moment you can pull inspiration from.
