Is it already fall for Selena Gomez? That’s the impression you might get from a photo of her and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, that she recently posted on Instagram. In it, Gomez wears a thick, fluffy jacket—though, as it turns out, that’s just one element. Underneath, she wears a summery red halter dress while attending a friend’s wedding.

In the penultimate photo of her Instagram dump, you can see her applying her Rare perfume, the latest drop from her beauty brand of the same name. With notes of caramel, tonka bean, and ginger, the fragrance could also be a delicious autumnal mocha latte—perhaps one reason for the founder’s mood. To match the color of the bottle, Gomez wears nail polish in a rosy mauve shade. The color is still a good choice for late summer thanks to the soft pink, but since the polish is opaque and has earthy undertones, it also works wonderfully for the first days of fall.
This combination of a cool pink, earthy tones, and beige is subtle but still eye-catching. It’s not too gaudy, but also not as minimalist as the other manicure trends we’ve seen this summer. In contrast to the transparent fruit-water nails, the polish is opaque; the color is also stronger than princess nails, which Victoria Beckham, among others, recently wore.
This manicure doesn’t require any embellishments, meaning it’s easy to re-create. The most important thing is to focus on a clean finish. The nail beds should be well-groomed and the nails perfectly filed. Short, rounded nails like those worn by Selena Gomez go particularly well with the berry color. The short length is not only in line with the current trend, but also elegant.
First apply a base coat to even out any unevenness on the nail plate. Next, brush on two coats of the polish—make sure to let each coat harden well so that the polish shines more later. For the ultimate glossy look, add a topcoat—then your rose-mocha nails are finished.
