Selena Gomez rocked a French manicure inspired by Christian Louboutin’ iconic red bottom heels. Her nail artist Tom Bachik revealed, via a pic on Instagram, a behind-the-scenes shot during Global Citizen's VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World event on May 8, that showed Selena Gomez’ 'French twist with a flipside' as the celebrity manicurist captioned his post.
The American nail artist, who refers to himself “Celebrity 'MAN'icurist” with some humor in his IG bio, does the nails of many celebs including Jennifer Lopez and Margot Robbie. To get the singer’s and Rare Beauty founder’s look, he used OPI’s Black Onyx on top, then painted a thick curve along the oval-shaped tips using OPI's Alpine Snow, and finished with the brand’s Big Apple Red on the back of each nail for a hot and fierce surprise.
However, this very couture-like twist is not new. We have indeed spotted many Christian Louboutin nail art inspo on Instagram, and we have a crush over the nude/red duo; classic yet bold.
In order to rock the #louboutinnails trend, you clearly need to have long nails, or you can opt for fake artificial nails if yours are too short. This ‘'French twist with a flipside’' nail art may be one of the top trends to come out this summer and can be done with many colors, however red à la famous bottoms of Louboutin shoes seems to be the winner.
French Luxury Label Christian Louboutin entered the make-up industry in 2014 with a nail polish line that includes the signature red lacquer, Rouge Louboutin, matching the brand’s famous red soles. Scrolling through the Instagram account of Louboutin Beauty, we noticed that the French label has actually set the trend of this nail art inspired from the heel of its iconic shoe in its own cool and sexy way.
A bold twist of the black nail polish that is both timeless and trending, since we spotted it at the latest Chanel Cruise fashion show.
