It seems that the clean-girl aesthetic never really left us and is creeping into our everyday styling once more. Take Selena Gomez, who has debuted a simple mani that we can’t get enough of. Enter soap nails, courtesy of celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik. Emulating the barely there, pale-pink colour that appears when you run a relaxing bubble bath, these nails are perfect for those moments when you just need something easy that goes with any winter outfit imaginable.
Selena’s nails are tapered ever so slightly into a perfect almond shape and stay true to her usual mid-length length. Not too much for everyday wear, but just enough to add an elongated feminine touch. Bachik used his trusty Apres gel in the shade Spring Sigh to create this soft, classic look. “So clean,” one fan commented while others couldn’t wait to find out what her BAFTAs beauty look will be this coming Sunday.
Gomez isn’t the only star to favour a minimal, bubble-bath pink manicure. Kylie Jenner opted for the romantic shade on a recent trip to support boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Both LA girls have been following a simple, squeaky-clean beauty formula – adding a little extra sparkle with jewellery that ties the entire look together. As we look ahead to spring, we can’t wait to take the soap girl manicure for a spin.
