Key Takeaways
- Selena Gomez wore the prettiest metallic “toasted” manicure that will be everywhere this fall.
- It’s so easy to copy at home, all you need is a copper nail polish and glossy topcoat.
While fall doesn’t technically start for another few weeks (September 22, to be specific), and temps are still in the 80s in NYC, there’s definitely been a shift towards a fall mindset. While it may be a little soon for sweaters, we are trading our ballet flats for boots and hitting play on Gilmore Girls. And of course, we’re plotting our fall beauty looks.
Selena Gomez is always one step ahead of us, and the star has already found the best autumnal manicure to wear all season. Enter: the “toasted” manicure. Ahead, everything you need to know about her look, including exactly how to copy it.
Selena Gomez’s “Toasted” Nails

On September 7, Gomez’s longtime manicurist Tom Bachik reposted a photo of the star taking a mirror selfie. Her custom airbrushed “Rare” t-shirt was front and center, but my eyes went right to her nails, which were painted a peachy-copper shade with a metallic finish that caught the light just-so. Her nails were kept in a natural short length with a softly rounded shape. Bachik dubbed the look a “toasted mani,” and he’s spot on—it’s just one step warmer than nude, as if her nails had spent a day soaking up the late-summer sun.
How to Get the Look

Luckily, Bachik shared exactly how he got the look, and it couldn’t be easier to copy at home. As always, he started with his Tweezerman x Tom Bachik tools to shape and prep the nails. Then, he went in with the polish. For the toasted look, he used Essie’s Special Effects line in Liquid Sunrise, which would also be a great name for this manicure. Finally, he finished off the look with a coat of his very own Click Colors polish in the shade Super Clear.
See? So easy. Which is great news, as we’ll be wearing the look all fall.
