Selena Gomez’s ‘Spiced Plum’ Mani Is the Sultry Shade to Try Before Spring Reds Take Over
If you thought Selena Gomez’s bronze manicure and makeup was the ultimate winter combo, she outdid herself with a red manicure that pairs just as well with a pretty pink blush as it does with a moody lip and a sharp cat eye.
On February 7, Gomez stepped out in West Hollywood wearing a Matrix-inspired look with a fitted leather jacket with turned up lapels and tiny oval sunglasses, styling the look with ankle-split pants, classic black pumps, and a black belted Prada Bonnie tote. She also leaned into the femme fatale aesthetic with a spicy orange-red lip and a cat eye sharp enough to kill a man, as her best friend Taylor Swift might say.
It would have been almost sacrilegious to wear anything other than a sultry red manicure with this look, and that’s exactly what Gomez did.
And it looks like Gomez stuck with the almost burgundy manicure for her Rare Beauty Galentine’s Day event a few days later. We got a closer look at her mid-length square nails thanks to an Instagram post from her favorite nail artist, Tom Bachick, who relied on Mia Secrets Plum Rouge to achieve the “pretty, feathery manicure” for her girls’ night out at LA’s latest hotspot, Max & Helen’s Diner.
On February 13, Gomez opted for sleeper pajamas trimmed with black feathers which she paired with a pretty velvet bow and pretty pink makeup. It was pretty much the sartorial opposite of her previous monochrome black cut, although her spicy plum nails added a mature, romantic touch to her girly girl vibe. So, Gomez found a truly versatile manicure to see us through the remaining winter months before her inevitable return to cherry red shades this spring.
