When it comes to chic manicures, Selena Gomez rarely misses. Her latest set, the berry boudoir mani, is sheer proof. Created by her long-time manicurist, Tom Bachik, the look features medium-length oval nails covered in a rich berry polish with deep wine tones. It’s elegant, bold, commanding and timeless, yet has a moody look that’s perfect for fall.
Gomez has mastered the art of chic manicures. Instead of trendy nail art or designs, she consistently delivers a stylish set that’s as wearable as it is enviable. Berry shades are top of the list for fall beauty trends. From deep plum to eggplant and wine, the color has quickly become the season’s newest “it” hue.
For this berry boudoir manicure, Bachik stuck to the formula that has made Gomez’s nail looks iconic: a natural length, simple nail shape and bold color. To create the look, he used CND’s Shellac Gel Polish in Berry Boudoir ($17) and topped it with the brand’s No-Wipe Top Coat before finishing with the Lightning Oil on her cuticles. The result? A rich berry manicure with patent-leather-like shine.
According to Bachik, the inspiration came from Gomez’s lip choice for the Academy Gala. On his Instagram, the celebrity manicurist explains that the idea was to custom-match her nails to her lip color. The matching look proved to be a winner. Later that week, Gomez made her debut on The Jennifer Hudson Show, pairing the berry boudoir manicure with an equally stunning bordeaux suit.
To be fair, Bachik and Gomez always deliver gorgeous manicure inspiration. However, this look is one for the books. Ideal for fall and perfect for entering the holiday season, you might want to bookmark the details for your next appointment
