Key Takeaways
- Selena Gomez wore a cozy brown manicure.
- Her nail artist, Tom Bachik, called the look “Spiced Apple Cider” nails.
- It’s an easy look to get yourself, especially if you’re still looking for a Thanksgiving manicure.
The holiday beverage world is broad and beautiful enough that choosing what to sip at any given moment is almost stressful. There are so many drinks to indulge in, and so little time to indulge.
I barely had a second to enjoy my pumpkin spice lattes before peppermint mochas came back, and now the gingerbread is calling me. It’s a nice problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.
And then there’s ever-delicious apple cider, which I fear hasn’t been getting even a fraction of the treatment it deserves in the last few years. I was devastated to learn Starbucks stopped serving steamed apple juice, but maybe queen Selena Gomez will inspire them to bring it back? A red cup would look so cute with her recent “Spiced Apple Cider” manicure.
Selena Gomez’s “Spiced Apple Cider” Nails
In a recent “get ready with me” video posted to her Instagram account, Gomez showed off an autumnal Rare Beauty look and equally Thanksgiving-ready brown manicure. Per usual, she applied her makeup with perfectly filed and painted fingers thanks to nail artist Tom Bachik. In his own Instagram post, he dubbed the look “Sel’s Spiced Apple Cider Nails.”
Long and almond shaped, the 33-year-old’s nails were all painted the same cozy brown shade and finished with a super glossy top coat.

How to Get the Look
Bachik revealed that the color he used on Gomez was Aprés Nails’ shade of the same name: Spiced Apple Cider.

If you don’t have time for a professional appointment before your Thanksgiving plans are underway (or your tropical vacation—we also saw the nails featured in a November 23 warm weather getaway photo dump from Gomez), there are plenty of similar shades you can use to get the look at home.
J. Hannah’s Hepworth is a little lighter, but has the right orangeiness to it, and Manucurist’s Chestnut is similarly deep and gorgeous.

Paint a few coats on, add your glossy top coat, and enjoy all the memories (and beverages) the day has to offer.
