As any beauty lover will know, nail trends come and go—and then they come back around again. We’ve seen chrome-effect glazed doughnut nails dominate for a while, and now it’s the turn of a subtler and softer nail trend to follow on its tail.
We spotted “angel nails” on celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik’s Instagram, who painted the nails of none other than Selena Gomez. He used two shades from Apres Nails Heavenly Top Gelcoat Set—Cherub and Angelic—to achieve her soft, celestial manicure. Whilst the glazed nail trend gives the nail a chrome glow, angel nails feature a super subtle sparkle that captures the light in a very delicate way. Think tiny glimmers of sparkle rather than heavy-duty glitter polishes.
