Selena Gomez — and her increasingly iconic manicures — are making their way through the rainbow, one bold polish at a time.
After wearing daring colours like butter yellow and cherry red, the Rare Beauty founder is embracing another bright nail polish shade, marking the return of citrus girl summer.
Her latest hue of choice? None other than an especially eye-catching shade of vivid blood orange that so happens to be reminiscent of both the juicy citrus fruit, but also a cult-favourite summer drink.
Selena’s go-to nail artist Tom Bachik shared a BTS photo of the look to his Instagram, hinting at the drink that may have inspired the style. “Orange Julius vibes,” Tom wrote in the caption, followed by the orange and cup with straw emojis.
In case you don’t frequent American mall’s and are therefore unfamiliar with Tom’s reference, Orange Julius is a beverage chain best known for their eponymous Orange Julius drink. Both the delicious libation and the brand’s logo are the same shade of bright orange as Selena’s manicure.
Orange is somehow one of the most underrated nail colours. Not only is orange bold and chic, but it works for a variety of seasons. Obviously, it’s ideal for spring and fall because of how bright it is. But, you can also get away with wearing orange well into fall and autumn since that’s when pumpkins and gourds reign supreme.
Also of note? According to colour magic, orange is the best nail polish colour to wear to job interviews since it manifests creativity, expression, and joy. Not that Selena Gomez is applying for an office job or anything, but she was just nominated for her first Emmy, which is…sort of similar.
