Selena Gomez has once again set a beauty trend, but this time, it’s not about makeup—it’s her effortlessly elegant manicure. Dubbed the “Soft Blush Manicure” by her go-to nail artist, Tom Bachik, this chic yet understated nail look is already inspiring beauty lovers everywhere.
Selena Gomez’s Chic Galentine’s Day Celebration
On February 5, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Aniston hosted a Galentine’s Day event in Los Angeles to celebrate their respective brands, Rare Beauty and Lolavie. The event was a dream for beauty enthusiasts, featuring a "blush bar" where guests could try Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush, a much-anticipated release available for a limited time at Sephora.
While the night was filled with fun, laughter, and exclusive beauty previews, one of the most talked-about moments was Selena’s manicure, which perfectly complemented the romantic and feminine theme of the evening.
Breaking Down Selena’s “Soft Blush Manicure”
Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik shared a close-up of Selena’s nails, revealing the details behind the soft, rosy-pink manicure that exudes effortless elegance. Known for her love of natural, polished nails, Selena opted for her signature soft squoval shape, which gives a clean yet modern look.
To achieve this delicate, flushed-pink effect, Bachik used Aprés Nail’s Light & Shadow Sheer Gel Couleur in Flushed—a sheer, buildable gel polish that gives the nails a fresh, healthy appearance without looking too opaque.
Before applying polish, Bachik prepped Selena’s nails using the Tweezerman x Tom Bachik Ultimate Nail Care Set, shaping them perfectly and ensuring a flawless, long-lasting finish.
How to Recreate Selena Gomez’s Soft Blush Manicure at Home
The best part about this manicure? It’s simple to achieve, even without a professional nail artist. If you don’t have access to Aprés Nail’s gel polish, here are some great alternatives to get the look:
- Cirque Colors Rose Jelly Polish – A sheer, rosy pink that provides a glossy, translucent finish.
- Essie Cheeky – A soft, muted pink that adds a subtle flush of color.
- Gucci Glossy Nail Polish in Ellen Blush – A slightly more opaque, high-shine pink for a sophisticated, polished look.
To make the look last longer, start with a nourishing base coat, apply two thin coats of your chosen polish, and finish with a glossy top coat for extra shine and durability.
Why Selena’s Manicure Is the Ultimate Minimalist Trend
While bold nail colors and intricate designs often dominate beauty trends, Selena’s soft blush manicure proves that simplicity can be just as striking. The delicate pink shade is versatile, timeless, and effortlessly chic, making it perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a date night, a special event, or an everyday polished look.
