Responsible for this daring look is none other than the celebrated celebrity nail artist, Tom Bachik, the creative force behind many of Gomez’s iconic manicures.

Sharing insights on the inspiration behind this avant-garde style, Bachik expressed, “We aimed to complement her custom Giorgio Armani dress while infusing a hint of edge with a high-gloss, black mani.” The result? A manicure that masterfully blended sophistication with a rebellious spirit.

To achieve this striking look, Bachik meticulously prepped Gomez’s nails using the Tweezerman and Tom Bachik Nail Care Travel Set before applying “two rich coats” of Essie’s Licorice. Attention to detail didn’t stop there – Bachik used Essie’s “On a Roll” Apricot Cuticle Oil to rehydrate the cuticles and skin, adding the final touch of perfection.

Selena Gomez effortlessly demonstrated that black nail polish is not merely staging a comeback but is reclaiming its status as red-carpet royalty. Paired with her show-stopping fiery red gown, the look struck a harmonious balance between goth, ballet-core, and pure glam.

Once again, Ms. Gomez flawlessly aced both the red-carpet and manicure assignments, leaving an indelible mark on fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
