We want Selena Gomez’s “Louboutin” manicure!

Fervent ambassador of the movement body positive, Selena Gomez has often found herself in the forefront of social networks to defend her enlightened vision of beauty, by assuming, for example, the scars linked to her kidney transplant. Having launched her own make-up brand – Rare Beauty – in 2020, she occupied an increasingly important place in the beauty sphere, simultaneously creating a surprise on several occasions with shots shared on her Instagram account and unveiling her trendy make-up or her daring hair looks. Not long ago, the young woman did not fail to make people talk about her – or rather about her discoloration – after having swapped her beautiful deep brown hair for a polar blond that changes her look completely. . Today, it is her manicure that is the center of attention.

Long and filed nails in the shape of an almond, two-tone manicure in the style of a French manicure revisited in black and white and, above all, under the nail varnished in red which is reminiscent of the colored soles of the shoes from the designer Louboutin … the interpreter of Hands to myself wore an original but ultra chic manicure during the charity concert “Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World”. A nail beauty treatment done – and shared on Instagram – by Tom Bachik, a celebrity ‘MAN’icurist, understand a manicure expert who does nails to our favorite stars.

Needless to say, it’s the hidden red detail of Selena Gomez’s manicure that definitely makes us fall for it. She thus displays #louboutinnails without even having to resort to needle-bottle nail polish from the essential designer of luxury shoes. In the caption of the second shot of Selena Gomez’s manicure shared by the nail artist on his Instagram account @tombachik, we can indeed see that this tricolor manicure was made with Alpine Snow, Black Onyx and Big Apple Red shades from the OPI brand, and not with Louboutin nail polishes. Good news for people on a tight budget who want to replicate their idol’s manicure without breaking the bank.

To get the said varnishes, it’s here:

What if, finally, the singer had found THE manicure trend to appropriate this season? The next few months could confirm this to us because it seems that Selena Gomez is only highlighting an existing nail art trend …

The flipside manicure, a trend to follow?

Although we have not often seen it because it is still quite discreet, this type of manicure which focuses on painting the underside of the free edge of the nail with a tint of varnish has a name: that of flipside manicure. The English word flipside meaning opposite side, with reference to the varnished side of the nail which is the one opposite to that usually coated with nail varnish. It only takes a trip to Instagram to realize that #louboutinnails like this and more generally #flipsidemani are not really new. Several years ago, we even saw this style of manicure on Jennifer Lopez.

And social networks also remind us that the flipside manicure is not carried out only according to the color code of Louboutin shoes (even if we really like the mixture of these sober and chic colors), but well with all your favorite nail polish colors! As for the length of the nails which seemed to be able to be an obstacle to the adoption of this trend at first glance: if wearing very long nails is undoubtedly the best way to highlight a flipside manicure, short nails can also be tried. The proof in pictures!

Anyway, we love the colorful detail of this kind of manicure and it is clear that with a nail coated very simply in the usual way, a touch of red like Louboutin sole is clearly a good idea to get a chic and original manicure.
