Selena Gomez has officially declared that the white manicure is back for party season and the New Year, and quite frankly, we couldn’t be more grateful.
The Rare Beauty founder is wearing white nails for the holidays, as shown by celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik‘s most recent Instagram post. Bachik, who’s responsible for showstopping A-list manis like Gomez’s VMAs “golden glazed” nails, Jennifer Lopez’s tuxedo nails and Camila Cabello’s vintage moon-inspired mani, shared a photo of the winter-white mani on November 28 (meaning he created the look just after Thanksgiving; the official start to festive season in the US).
The mani is a far cry from Selena’s more extravagant styles like vintage floral or pastel Skittles, and significantly more subtle than the classic but bold cranberry red she wore just last week when she debuted her new honey blonde hair — it really is as white as white can be. Bachik even captioned the post, “Snow White,” followed by a snowflake and white heart emoji. ’Tis the season, I suppose!
Hear that, OPI Funny Bunny enthusiasts? Your time has finally come (again)… and by the looks of it, will last well into and through 2024. Especially since white nail polish is honestly very quiet-luxury-coded.

While Bachik didn’t share the exact products he used to create Selena’s Snow White mani, there are a handful of white nail polish shades one can use to create their own – like Chanel Le Vernis in Insomniaque, Dior Nail Polish Couture Colour in Jasmin, and Nailberry’s nail lacquer in Flocon. Essie’s 1 Blanc is a firm favourite, too. If true white still feels a bit too plain for your taste, try topping off your white polish with a chrome or matte finish.
The truth is there’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to wear white. All that really matters is that white nail polish is back! And for that, we thank Selena Gomez. Shop our picks below.
