Selena Gomez is usually a leader when it comes to popularizing manicures, but it looks like she’s decided to hop on one of the biggest nail trends for spring 2025: soap nails. Following colorful manis like cobalt blue nails, peach champagne nails, and lavender milk nails, Gomez and her longtime manicurist Tom Bachik have decided to go neutral and clean with shiny soap nails.

Bachik shared a photo of Gomez showing off her mani while taking a mirror selfie. The look is nail minimalism at its finest, with a sheer nude color and ultra shiny finish. Gomez opted for her signature almond shape to lean into the soft vibes, while her fuzzy teddy bear coat and shiny gold hoop earrings made everything feel very quiet luxury. As for her hair, she styled her Old Hollywood bob into a deep side part with soft curls.
For the uninitiated, soap nails have become popular in recent years for its clean girl look. Think of it as no-makeup makeup for nails: it enhances your natural color and has minimal coverage. This season, it’s become a go-to for celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Meghan Markle—and it’s not hard to see why. After a winter season full of jewel tones and dark hues, our manis need some lightening up. It also provides a great reset before we dive into the bright and bold colors of summer. Nail spring cleaning, anyone?
Bachik didn’t share the exact products he used on Selena Gomez, but he has frequently used Aprés Nails Gel Color in the past. For a similar look, Markle recently revealed the soap nails she wore in her Netflix show With Love, Meghan were a combination of two gel colors: CND Shellac in Satin Slippers and CND Shellac in Romantique. She recommends doing one coat of each for a similar effect.
