Selena Gomez’s nails at the 2025 Golden Globes were nothing short of iconic. Between her sparkling engagement ring and that stunning Prada gown, her classic French manicure was the perfect complement to her look, showing just how much attention to detail can elevate an entire ensemble.
Thankfully, this timeless mani is totally recreatable, and we’ve got the deets straight from Tom Bachik, who shared his process on Instagram. Here’s how you can get those Golden Globe-worthy nails at home.
Prep Like a Pro
Tom Bachik knows that great nails start with a solid foundation, and he made sure Selena’s were ready for the spotlight. First, he used Olive & June Cuticle Remover to clean up her nails, followed by his trusty Tweezerman tools to perfect the shape.
After prepping, he applied a gel polish base coat to smooth the natural nail—this is key for ensuring a long-lasting and flawless finish. Taking time with the prep work pays off in a big way, so don’t rush this step!
Perfect Those French Tips
Now, let’s talk about those French tips. Tom created the iconic look with Olive & June’s Gel Polish in HD for those precise, clean lines.
Once the tips were perfected, he added the soft pinky-nude shade “The Queen Takes Her Tea With Milk” to enhance the natural nail, giving it that sophisticated glow.
A layer of gel polish top coat added a high-gloss shine to finish it off. To keep those nails looking fresh all night long, Tom finished with the Cuticle Serum Duo—hydrating and nourishing to the max.
Selena’s last mani at the Palm Springs International Film Festival also featured a French nail look—this time with white on white—showing how she and Tom continue to perfect her nail game for each red carpet event. Every detail counts, and for Selena, nails are just as important as the dress.
