Still Searching for the Perfect Nude Nail Polish? Selena Gomez Wore It for Her Engagement to Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez wore the chicest nail shade for her engagement.

On Wednesday, Dec. 11, the singer and actress, 32, announced she was engaged to boyfriend Benny Blanco after one year of dating. In an Instagram carousel post, Gomez showed off her stunning marquise diamond ring along with the caption: "forever begins now.."

Her understated manicure — a semi-sheer nude color on short, rounded nails — perfectly complimented the sparkling diamond. On Instagram, her longtime nail artist Tom Bachik shared the exact polishes he used to create the timeless look: Chanel Le Vernis in Ballerina and Chanel Le Gel Coat.

Gomez debuted the manicure that morning at the Academy Women’s Luncheon Presented by Chanel. She wore a textured jacket that featured a white collar and cuffs and a matching skirt adorned with buttons. The star, who was nominated for two Golden Globes on Monday, Dec. 9, accessorized with black tights and white platform heels.
