We can always count on Selena Gomez for some serious nail inspo. Whether it's her luxurious peach-champagne Oscars manicure colour or the classic nail polish she wore during her engagement (it's Chanel Ballerina, by the way), she's influenced us to either A) book a salon appointment or B) purchase a specific nail polish more than once. This time, she's dusting off a nostalgic, cherry-red drugstore nail polish.
Gomez spent the weekend in NYC promoting her new album alongside her fiancé, Benny Blanco. After appearances on Today and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Gomez was pictured heading out on a date night sporting a glossy, cherry-red manicure. Luckily, we know (and love) the exact £11 shade. Keep scrolling.
The Look
Here, Gomez is pictured before her appearances with her vibrant, cherry-red nails. Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik was the expert behind the trendy manicure. When we say "trendy," we mean it. Cherry perfumes and black-cherry lipstick have both been trending on TikTok. It seems cherry is *that girl* rn.
The Exact Nail Polish
This was the iconic shade Bachik used to create Gomez's cherry-red manicure. Essie's Rock the Runway is a fierce, scarlet red. It's been an editor go-to for years, but Gomez is reminding us just how good it really is. Yeah, we're going to buy a fresh bottle.
Essie's gel nail polish was recently reformulated to provide up to 15 days of chip-resistant wear. It features Flex-E gel technology that bends with the nails for a longer-lasting finish. Oh, and there's no UV lamp required to cure it. Simply paint it on your nails like you would with a traditional nail polish. Let it dry, and you're good to go. It's the easiest way to get a long-lasting manicure on a budget. And to make it last even longer, we rate the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat which makes regular polish last for ages—it even feels like gel polish on the nails.
Don't forget to follow up with the topcoat for extra shine and chip protection.
