The work of nail artist Tom Bachik, Gomez’s goth girl nail moment was accomplished using Essie polish in Licorice, along with Bachik’s calling card (read: immaculate) manicure.
“Selena told me ‘I don’t want the nails to get lost in everything,’ so we wanted nails to be an integral part of making this look edgy,” Bachik tells Vogue. “I love a black nail as it can symbolise strength and confidence while looking chic and sexy.”
The classic cool-girl colour furthered Gomez’s natural nail length and shape, while playing up the beaded blooms on her dress. A gel-like top coat and an assemblage of diamond jewellery from Bulgari furthered the high-shine polish job — one wholly worthy of award season’s first leg.
