Selena Gomez's Blue Nails Are a Perfect "Pop of Summer"

While fans of Hulu's "Only Murders In the Building" [1] have been busy watching the first two episodes of the second season, Selena Gomez [2] and her costars Steve Martin [3] and Martin Short have been busy with press events. On 27 June, the actors stepped out at the show's premiere in LA wearing their very best. Gomez stunned in a floor-length, silver-sequinned gown and bright blue nails that immediately caught our eye [4].

Tom Bachik [5], Gomez's long-time manicurist [6], did the actor and singer's manicure for the occasion and posted a close-up on his Instagram [7] with the caption, "Red carpet glam 💅🏼." In the photo, Gomez's natural nails can be seen cut and filed to a short, rounded-square shape and painted in a bright cobalt blue hue, which just happens to be one of summer's top nail-polish colours [8].

"We wanted a chic colour that contrasted her silvery sparkle [gown] but still gave us a pop of summer," Bachik tells POPSUGAR.

This isn't the first time that Gomez has worn blue nails for a red carpet event. Back in 2017, she had a blue manicure for the premiere of "13 Reasons Why," [9] which she was a producer on, as a symbol of suicide awareness within the show's community.

Though that's not the intended meaning behind this particular manicure, it does feel like a full-circle moment with Gomez's blue nails and sparkly gown. Keep scrolling to see her nails up-close, plus more photos from the premiere with Martin and Short.
