I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that the TikTok phrase turned societal obsession, “very demure, very mindful” and all the behaviors and aesthetics that come with it have occupied most of my brain space lately. With the rise of all things cutesy, mature and mindful on the rise and a new season right around the corner, it’s safe to say that the beauty trends are starting to shift away from Brat summer and into a more chic girl fall.
We’re already halfway through August and quickly approaching Labor Day, which means many of us are already planning our fall makeovers. If you’re scheduling your first autumn nail appointment and need a shade that is equal parts demure and trendy, we have a feeling you’ll love Selena Gomez’s “dirty martini” nails as much as we do. They strike the perfect balance between understated elegance and fall vibes, and their catchy name fits right in with other trendy manicures we’ve fallen for this year (looking at you, farmer’s market nails).
Tom Bachik’s Dirty Martini Manicure for Selena Is Obsession-Worthy
When it comes to celebrity manicures, Tom Bachik is pretty much royalty, as the self-proclaimed “MAN-icurist’s” work can be seen on the hands of the hottest names in Hollywood. As a result, Bachik is also at the forefront of launching new nail trends, so we’re always keeping an eye on what he’s doing to stay up to date with what is hot and happening.
Last week, Bachik gave us our first dose of fall nail inspiration with apple cider nails done, created for his longtime client—none other than Gomez herself. This autumnal hue is already sparking ideas for our own fall mani. But if you’re not quite ready to bid farewell to “Brat summer,” Bachik has another fall favorite up his sleeve: olive green nails inspired by a classic dirty martini. While Gomez’s specific shade was a custom blend, any olive green shade will give you that sophisticated and brilliantly boozy vibe for fall. Check out the nail polish color below and click through for more of Bachik’s color inspiration for the season.
