Artists find inspiration in everything — nature, music, travel, and even everyday clothing items like bandanas, which is how Selena Gomez [1]'s manicurist Tom Bachik [2] came up with this paisley design. Bachik first created the hand-painted manicure for the singer's first American Vogue magazine cover in 2017, but he reshared a photo on Instagram of the final look on Feb. 21, calling it the "perfect Sunday manicure."
Gomez's has had more than a few amazing nail art moments [3] over the years thanks to Bachik, but this intricate design is one of our favourites. While it wouldn't be the easiest nail art look [4] to re-create at home, it's definitely one to bookmark for later and ask your nail technician for the next time you make a trip to the salon. Gomez's natural nails were filed into a "squozal" shape, which is her go-to style, and the manicure was done with a red base coat and white line work.
Instead of scouring the results on Pinterest and Instagram's explore page for manicure inspiration, we suggest taking a look at Gomez's most recent nail art looks — she's the queen of versatile manicures, and you're bound to find something that you love.
