      Selena Gomez has recently dominated my social media timelines with her stunning red carpet appearances, album promotions alongside her future husband Benny Blanco, and, naturally, the Jelena fans who are still trying to revive the relationship between Justin and Selena. Amid all the interview clips and elaborate TikToks comparing Hailey Bieber and Selena (seriously, it's 2025—time to move on!), there's one detail that stands out: her fabulous manicures. Specifically, I can't get enough of the red nails Selena showcased over the weekend.

      Selena’s nails were a perfect example of cherry red, one of the leading beauty trends of 2025. As a red nail enthusiast, I know how challenging it can be to find the ideal shade that isn’t too warm or too cool, but the color Selena wore on March 20 during a date night in NYC was absolute perfection. To top it off (pun intended), the exact polish she used is just $10.

      According to a press release, celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik crafted the stunning manicure using the shade ‘Rock the Runway’ from essie. While her glossy nails might appear to require a UV lamp for curing, essie’s newly reformulated gel by essie line provides the same glossy finish without needing anything other than the polish itself. Bachik started with ‘Rock the Runway’ and finished with gel by essie’s top coat for added shine and durability. To keep Selena's nails hydrated, Bachik also applied Essie’s roll-on nail and cuticle oil (a fantastic investment if you wish to elevate your at-home manicure experience).

      Personally, I plan to replicate Selena’s red nails throughout the spring.
