Tom Bachik Reveals Exact Products Behind Selena Gomez’s Blush Jelly Chrome Nails at Rare Impact Benefit

The manicure capped a head-to-toe mauve look for Gomez’s Los Angeles fundraiser supporting youth mental health.

Overview

  • Gomez debuted the iridescent manicure on October 29 at the third annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles, pairing it with a custom satin mauve minidress, shawl, and pumps.
  • Her nails were medium length with a soft almond shape and a late-1990s sheen that shifted from translucent blush to glassy pink depending on the light.
  • Bachik detailed his process on Instagram, starting with Tweezerman cuticle prep and Olive & June Nail Strengthener, then applying Olive & June Builder Gel Color in Blush Jelly and sealing with the brand’s Gel Top Coat.
  • To achieve the reflective finish, he rubbed in one layer of his Cosmic Chrome powder in Aurora before a final layer of Gel Top Coat.
  • Bachik noted the builder gel adds strength and wear of up to three weeks, and the chrome look continues a theme from Gomez’s September wedding manicure.
