Everything the pop star does or wears inevitably ends up under the magnifying glass of fans and media. Natural, then, that the most important day is planned down to the last detail, from the outfit to the beauty look, which was by Rare Beauty. Her hands, on the other hand, were taken care of by Tom Bachik, nail artist to the stars and longtime collaborator of the singer, who has accustomed us to being able to observe her nails up close, albeit through a smartphone screen. No XL claws, three dimensional designs and eccentric colours Gomez apparently does not like headshots and prefers a more simple, refined and understated style. That's why she chose the Angel Manicure, a candid style with iridescent white nail polish that reveals, however, a hidden and transformative personality, only at certain moments. And that takes it directly among the autumn 2025 nail trends.
To put the ring on her finger, Selena Gomez opted for a manicure as refined as the dress signed Ralph Lauren, renamed precisely Angel Manicure partly because of the angelic style and partly because, to achieve it, the nail artist used a product that is called, precisely, Angel and is part of his line of nail polishes and nail care. Under lights, Selena Gomez 's nails appear to be a delicate white and it is only when they are hit by direct light that they reveal a discreet yet dramatic reflective shade. They are reminiscent, in a manner of speaking, of glazed donut nails, but less metallic and therefore perfect for the wedding.
From reimagined French tips to jewel-toned drama, autumn nails are about elegance with a playful edge
How did the Angel Manicure on Selena Gomez, Tom Bachik explained on his Instagram account. He started by applying a set of press-on nails with a medium length and coffin shape, slightly squared, and then spread a layer of translucent white polish followed by the silver-tone chrome powder. Last but not least, she finished with a transparent, glossy top coat. To recreate the same effect at home as well, it is not necessary to use the same products (which are not available here anyway) but it is a must to use a semi-permanent gel nail polish, the kind to be cured under the lamp to be clear, because otherwise it is impossible to get the chrome effect.
Not only for weddings, the Angel Manicure is perfect for those who do not like strong colors but still want to give their nails an interesting twist. In addition to the milk-white version, the same style can be declined in many discreet and pastel shades, from lilac to light pink. And there is no need to go to the salon, but simply get a special kit to use at home, as well as strictly matching chrome powders.
