The information went around the globe and even sparked reactions from stars around the world (starting with Taylor Swift, who has already volunteered to be a bridesmaid): Selena Gomez just got engaged! It was after saying yes to Benny Blanco – the musician with whom the superstar had shared her life for more than a year – that the singer announced the good news to her fans via her Instagram account, sporting the most beautiful engagement ring. “Forever starts now” is the legend which accompanied her large marquise diamond set on a pavé ring (its value is estimated at around 1 million dollars… you are a star or you are not), and above all, a manicure surprising from the founder of the Rare Beauty brand.
Selena Gomez chooses a natural manicure for her engagement
Number one inspiration when it comes to red nail polish, seasonal shades like deep purples, burgundies and browns, Selena Gomez opted for a nude rose timeless transparency (almost as if she knew this moment was coming) for her loved one’s marriage proposal. Made by her lifelong nailartist Tom Bachikthe very quiet luxury manicure would have been achieved simply with a stroke of Chanel nail polish in Ballerina shade.
To display a princess engagement ring, the look naturel like Selena’s hands seems to be the most appropriate if you are on the clean girl team. When it comes to nail shape, anything goes as long as you’re comfortable carrying the weight of a ring that costs an arm and a leg. Square and round, mid-length and round, very long and stiletto: all styles work if the chosen color remains discreet. We allow ourselves a splurge by upgrading the look of a french manucureparticularly appreciated for engagement proposals for its primed, but still natural, finish. Finally, if neutral lacks spice for your taste, opt for a soft color but in its “glaze” or chrome version. White, pink, or even pearl gray, all the brilliant shades that give a “my nails but better” result will be welcome on the big day, whether you choose to have a picnic like Selena and Benny, or whether you passes directly in front of the altar.
