While the first day of spring may not be until Friday, March 20, plenty of us are already itching for warmer days ahead. And with the promise of sunny weather on the horizon, it is never too early to start thinking about switching the winter color palettes of our favorite glam products over to springtime hues.

One of our favorite swaps for spring? Bidding farewell to dark nail polish hues (we still love you, Lincoln Park After Dark) and embracing light, bright tones on our fingertips. When it comes to your first manicure of the spring season, celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik recently delivered the ultimate inspo, courtesy of a snapshot of Selena Gomez’s recent manicure.

The celebrity nail artist deemed the look a “Juicy Pink Gloss Mani,” and the long, rounded nails have officially taken top spot on our mani mood board. The color, as it turns out, is from Bachik’s forthcoming line of nail polishes, which will hit the market mid March.

“The perfect blush shade for Spring featuring a sneak peek at my “BS-104” color from my new @shoptombachik series launching March 16th 🤩 #nailsbytombachik.”

While you’ll be able to shop the exact polish Gomez rocked at her fingertips when it’s released next month, we’ve put together a few dupes that will help you achieve a similar result. In the meantime, recreate Gomez’s pretty spring mani at home with one of the following polishes.
