Selena Gomez has found her happily ever after in Benny Blanco, with the couple finally announcing news of their engagement after weeks of rumours and cryptic interactions on social media. (See: Gomez interacting with content posted by a notable wedding planner.)
While the Emilia Pérez star now plans her trip down the aisle, the star has seemingly already perfected one element of wedding planning that stumps modern brides: her manicure.
As anyone who has sat in a nail salon can attest, selecting the right nail colour to last until your next appointment is a tireless job. This decision is compounded when you’re choosing the shade to wear on your big day. But, thankfully for soon-to-be newlyweds, the Only Murders In The Building actress has done the leg work for us.
For her proposal, Gomez coated her digits in a sweet shade of baby pink from Chanel Beauty. Named ‘Ballerina’, the hue is a muted tone not too dissimilar to her natural nail bed, making it the perfect barely-there tint. Because why draw attention away from your stunning engagement ring? She kept the remainder of her proposal outfit understated too, eschewing the traditional whites for a black cable knit sweater.
On the latter, Blanco asked Gomez to marry him with a stunning marquise diamond set on a beautiful diamond pavé band. The diamond-shaped stone has fallen out of popularity in recent years in favour of emerald cuts made covetable by Hailey Bieber. But the style actually has a deeper meaning as it harks back to the 18th Century French court. Truly an enchanting selection.
As for the polish itself, it’s also incredibly long-wearing and ultra-shiny, with the creamy formula giving your nails an effortlessly elevated finish. Though it’s ideal for your nuptials, the minimal shade is also suited for everyday wear as it’s designed to give a subtle accent to any occasion.
For those looking to recreate the manicure at home, simply begin with gentle buff—-we recommend using the precision glass polisher from Bare Hands for a light dry gloss—before adding layers of the buildable Le Vernis. Complete with a top coat for extra protection and a slick of nail oil around your cuticles to seal everything in and add hydration back to your fingertips.
