Hurry—Selena Gomez Just Cosigned a Major Mani Trend, and Her Exact Color Is Flying Fast

Selena Gomez's beauty look for the BAFTA awards

It seems like just yesterday Selena Gomez had hopped on the burgundy mani train—because, um, it kind of was. At the BAFTAs on Sunday, the singer and Emilia Pérez star stepped out in a stunning Schiaparelli gown and equally eye-catching “sparkling merlot” mani, courtesy of her longtime nail artist Tom Bachik. I was just about to stock up on my glossy, wine-hued lacquers when she switched up her nail look yet again—and, in doing so, cosigned one of spring’s biggest mani trends. Sorry to my burgundy polishes, but Gomez’s tips are basically gospel! Scroll ahead to shop the exact hue before it sells out everywhere (and trust that it will; it’s already out of stock on some retailers).

In the recent Instagram Reel above, Gomez sports electric blue nails as she lip-syncs to a new song on her upcoming album, “I Said I Love You First,” which she collaborated on with her fiancé (!) Benny Blanco. I have many, many things to say about this imminent earworm, but let’s talk about her navy nail polish for now, shall we? It’s blazing, chic, and perfectly on-trend for 2025. (In fashion, navy has usurped burgundy, black, and brown as the year’s most viral neutral).

Gomez’s polish appears a tad brighter than the cool, muted version celebs have been sporting (hi, Hailey Bieber), which makes the shade even more perfect for spring. However, the polish Bachik used—In The Navy by Aprés Nail, he reveals on Instagram—is highly pigmented, so you could apply thinner layers for less of an impact. Although, I’d highly suggest going full electric like Gomez. There’s something about a bright blue mani set against a moody, winter color story that just looks so elevated. As such, I suspect we’ll see navy nails popping up everywhere this spring.

It seems Gomez has kicked off a navy nail renaissance, as her exact shade is already sold out at Beyond Polish (a go-to salon-quality retailer for nail care aficionados). Not to fret! You can still snag it—for now—at Walmart. Go ahead and shop the shade below, along with a few more top notch navy polishes in case it has flown off the shelves in the time it took me to type this sentence. Godspeed!
