TRENDING NOW! Selena's Naked Nails are all the rage! Get the look!

Minimalist, sophisticated, and undeniably addictive, Selena Gomez is once again setting the beauty tone with her latest manicure.

Spotted during her recent public appearances, the singer and actress is embracing the “naked nails” trend, a style that proves less really can be more. If you're searching for a manicure that goes with everything, this understated look may just be your new go-to.

Thanks to her go-to nail artist Tom Bachik, Selena has put this ultra-polished, timeless manicure in the spotlight.

Here's everything you need to know about the trend, why we’re obsessed, and how you can recreate it.

Selena Gomez’s Naked Nails

The perfect example that nature can also be glamorous. Her manicure features a sheer, semi-transparent base with a soft milky tone, creating a clean, polished look that radiates health and care. No bold colors, no intricate designs, just breathable, luminous nails with quiet sophistication.

Pure Elegance

The shape is intentional. Selena opted for a medium almond shape that elongates the fingers and adds a refined, feminine touch, never over the top, just perfectly elegant. This manicure works for everything from casual brunch to red-carpet glamour.

How to Embrace the Naked Nails Trend

Whether you're booking a salon appointment or planning a DIY session at home, naked nails offer countless variations.

Here are 9 standout styles to try:

1/9 Classic Version

The simplest, yet always sophisticated. This look features neatly filed natural nails with a clear base or a sheer polish that enhances their natural beauty, perfect for everyday wear or even formal events.

2/9 Nude Finish

From soft pinks and beiges to creamy browns and peach tones, nude shades are a forever favorite. These hues flatter every skin tone and add a polished, elegant finish that never goes out of style.

3/9 Milky Effect

The creamy, semi-opaque white or blush finish mimics the soft elegance of a runway manicure. It offers a healthy, cared-for appearance, ideal for those who love clean beauty with a subtle glow.

4/9 Blush Nails

Just like your favorite blush, this manicure creates a flush of delicate pink over a clear base. Feminine, fresh, and romantic, it’s the perfect choice for soft, natural looks this season.

5/9 Glazed Naked Nails

Inspired by the viral “glazed donut” nails, this version features a glossy, light-reflecting topcoat over a nude or transparent base. It adds a hint of modern glamour while keeping the look minimalist and chic.

6/9 Glitter Touch

For those who love a little sparkle, add a fine dusting of glitter over a nude or sheer base. The key is subtlety, think shimmer, not shine—for a look that’s both playful and sophisticated.

7/9 Transparent French

A modern twist on the classic French manicure, this style replaces the bold white tips with barely-there lines that blend seamlessly with the base, elegant, updated, and totally on trend.

8/9 Minimal Nail Art

Naked nails also make the perfect canvas for delicate designs. Think mini florals, metallic dots, pastel French tips, or abstract lines. It’s the ideal way to showcase your personality without overwhelming the look.

9/9 Pearl Finish

For a subtle glow, try a pearly or iridescent topcoat. Perfect for brides, bridesmaids, or special occasions, this satin finish brings a soft touch of luxury that’s delicate yet impactful.

No matter which variation you choose, naked nails promise a refined, timeless look that pairs beautifully with every outfit, and every season. In a world full of color and bold designs, this trend offers the perfect moment of calm, balance, and understated beauty.
