Selena Gomez may be on a minimalist mani streak, but it seems she snuck in one of the most popular nails looks for summer: bright neon. The actor has recently been loving barely-there nail designs like milk bath nails, lavender milk nails, and glass nails, but her longtime manicurist Tom Bachik gave us a look into one of her brighter and bolder past looks: blood orange nails.

Sharing a photo of the mani on his Instagram page, Tom wrote in the caption: “Orange 🍊 You glad it’s Friday! #FBF @selenagomez #nailsbytombachik Loving this Neon #mani for Summer!☀️” In the snap, Selena is shown holding her hand up to camera with a bold orange colour on her nails. Instead of her signature almond nails shape, Tom opted for a round nail shape. Leaning into the tropical vibes of the mani, the duo appropriately used a pool and a leafy green tree as the background of their photo opp. The whole thing screams summertime.

Tom didn’t share the exact shade he used for Selena Gomez, but there are plenty of similar nail polishes that will give you the same fiery orange effect. Some of our favourites include Manucurist Coral Reef, Hermés Orange Poppy, and Essie Geranium.

As for Selena’s current manicure, the actor was most recently spotted with a dreamy lilac colour on her nails during an appearance on the game show Match Game, hosted by her Only Murders in the Building costar Martin Short, along with the rest of the cast.

For this look, Tom shared the full details of Gomez’s pretty pastel mani. First, he prepped the nails using the Tweezerman x Tom Bachik Ultimate Nail Care Set then applied Aprés Nail gel polish in Aster Family. For the rest of her styling, Selena wore a black gown with velvet bow detailing and an elegant French bob, proving that lilac goes with pretty much anything. New neutral? We certainly think so.
