Selena Gomez Gave the Toasted-Nails Trend a Bridal Update for Her Wedding
Ever since Selena Gomez released photos from her dreamy Santa Barbara wedding to Benny Blanco, we’ve been wanting a close-up of her nails.
Of course, we did get a peek at them throughout her first batch of wedding photos (captured by Petra Collins, no less), but the images’ soft, dreamy aesthetic made picking out her exact nail shade and details a bit tricky. One could just make out her nails’ pointed almond shape, but were they a soft pink or ivory? Silk nails or more of a chrome finish? We’d just have to wait for a sharper look or for Gomez’s longtime nail artist Tom Bachik to weigh in personally.
Ultimately, the first clear close-up ended up coming from Gomez’s husband, who posted a shot of their brand-new wedding bands among a series of personal photos from the big day. From the image, it’s clear to see that Gomez opted for a bridal take on the toasted-nail trend.

Bachik has yet to share the exact technique or shade he used for Gomez’s bridal manicure, though he has reposted her wedding pics on Instagram Stories. At first glance her manicure appears to feature a soft, blushy nude with a subtle iridescent sheen. As for the shape, she opted for midlength almond tips for a bit of a wedding-day boost.
Toasted nails are more of a finish rather than a specific color, as Bachik previously explained to Glamour after revealing Gomez’s original “toasted mani” on Instagram back in September. At the time he used two coats of Essie’s Liquid Sunrise to create the original look on her shorter natural nails.
