IDK What to Call Selena Gomez's Nail Color, But I Do Know I Love It

If you're looking for a fall nail color that isn't deep burgundy or dark purple but still feels timely, look no further than Selena Gomez. The actor has been serving up all sorts of unique color inspo for the season and her latest mani is no exception—but I may need a little help deciding on a name for her specific shade.

As you can see below, Gomez's nails are a gorgeous shape-shifting shade that could be described in a plethora of ways. They're a long almond shape in a warm, glowy bronze-brown color that subtly changes as she moves. In certain light, they look more taupe in tone, and in others, they're definitely a dark, smoky topaz color. It's as if you dipped a brown manicure in pure amber and added a touch of shimmer—and it's absolutely going to the top of my fall manicure plans, because I'm obsessed. If a manicure could be described as “radiant,” this one would be. Plus, do you see how her nails pick up the golden highlights in her dark hair?

Gomez's manicure was created by her go-to nail artist Tom Bachik using CND's Purplexity, so it's not actually a true brown at all, but rather a dark purple with a gold pearl for that chameleonic quality. The two have been having a lot of fun creating custom combos for the star's nails, including the spiced apple color that took Bachik 40 minutes to perfect. While promoting her movie Emilia Pérez in Telluride, Gomez and Bachik collaborated on a sweet toffee color to bridge the gap between summer and fall, and now that we're firmly in September, it looks like they're leaning all the way in to the season. For a similar color, try Olive and June's shimmery brown Museum Date, Zoya's cocoa-colored Eleanor, or ORLY's metallic red brown Stop the Clock. It's basically like wearing a cozy cashmere sweater…but on your nails.
