Lisa Just Co-Signed Selena Gomez's Go-To Date-Night Nail Color—I'm Sprinting to My Manicurist


Lisa, can you teach me… how to do my nails like yours? The K-pop star and Blackpink alum, 28, wrapped up her first slew of solo Coachella performances this past weekend with numerous outfit changes, a White Lotus cast–stacked crowd, and—most importantly (IMO)—a set of killer claws. Her nails, glowing ruby red and accented with silver chrome embellishments, are one of the latest fiery manicures we’ve spotted on celebrities in the last few weeks, making me itch for my next nail appointment, where I’ll no doubt be hopping on this red-hot train.

Just weeks before Lisa’s cyberpunk stint at Coachella, Selena Gomez stepped out for a date night in New York City wearing a cherry red hue on her tips, courtesy of Essie’s $13 Gel Couture Nail Polish in Rock the Runway. While we love the “Ojos Tristes” songstress’ sweet shade for a spring manicure, Lisa’s dimensional design takes an otherworldly approach to this classic nail color.

Celebrity manicurist Juan Alvear created Lisa’s molten metal nails using Aprés Nail products—starting with a deep black base and layering on red chrome powder to achieve that rich, marbled depth.

Below, see a breakdown of everything the storied manicurist used—plus a handful of other unconventional red nail art designs I’m showing my nail tech on the next salon trip.

This rich red reminds us that deep cherry manicures aren’t just for the holidays.
