Selena Gomez already knows what nails are the hit of fall 2025. The "chrome jelly" shines like aurora

When Selena Gomez appeared at the Rare Impact gala, everyone couldn't take their eyes off her hands. The subtle yet mesmerizing "Jelly Chrome" effect instantly went viral in the beauty world. What is this trend and how can you recreate it at home?

Contrary to appearances, achieving this effect doesn't require magic, just the right products and a little patience. The key is a combination of two techniques: jelly (semi-transparent, gel polishes resembling jelly) and chrome – a shiny, metallic finish.

Selena's manicurist, Tom Bachik , revealed that he used a delicate, semi-transparent pink gel to create the look, giving it a jelly-like effect and strengthening the nails. The look was finished with a top coat and a layer of nail dust , which added that distinctive pearly, slightly holographic shine.

Creating this look is truly simple and can be easily done at home. All you need is a little practice and carefully selected products.

The fall/winter 2025 season emphasizes elegant subtlety with an artistic edge. In addition to Jelly Chrome Nails, shades of latte nails, molten metallics (i.e., liquid metals) and jewelry-inspired styles are all the rage – silver, pearl, and rose gold are making a comeback in a refreshed form.

Natural shapes—almond and rounded square —are also consistently fashionable, beautifully elongating the hands. Trends clearly indicate that in the coming months, we'll be focusing on manicures without unnecessary excess, but with a subtle edge.
