It feels like every week there's a new nail trend (and we know, because it's our job to have a stickybeak at every single one of 'em).
But every once in a while, a trend comes along that is so chic we need to tell you about it.
And this time it was spotted on Selena Gomez.

Yep, if there's one place to look to for the latest nail inspo, it's the red carpet.
And low and behold, Gomez was spotted debuting a peach manicure at the Oscars to match the lining of her custom Ralph Lauren dress.
But it wasn't just a flat, stark peach mani β it was a chic, sophisticated 'peach champagne' look, blending soft peach, pink and gold for a delicate, luminous finish.
Here's what it looked like up close.
Here's everything you need to know about the peach champagne manicure trend.Β
What are peach champagne nails?
Unlike a solid, opaque peach shade, peach champagne nails feature subtle hints of peach, pink and gold. The result is a fresh, feminine and effortlessly classy look that works for any season or occasion, whether it's a wedding, a workday or a long lunch.
How do you achieve peach champagne nails?
As with any manicure, the key to a flawless finish is proper prep. Whether you're visiting a nail artist or doing it yourself at home, start by thoroughly cleaning your nails, trimming the cuticles and filing them into shape. While this look works with any nail shape, we have to admit almond nails make this look a solid 11 out of 10.Β
Once the nails are prepped, a high-quality base coat is applied first, followed by a warm peachy-pink polish to create the perfect foundation. Depending on your opacity preference, a second coat can be added before layering on a sheer polish with a subtle golden shimmer to give it that champagne glow. To finish, a high-shine top coat is applied to seal the look, followed by cuticle oil and a hydrating hand cream for that salon-perfect touch.
