When the Emmys hit, it feels like all of the focus is on the hair, makeup and fashion choices. This year, Selena Gomez proved that it’s worth paying attention to nails, too. Her red carpet manicure was courtesy of the Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in Frost Yourself, a $13 shade that gave her nails a dreamy, light-catching finish inspired by a sunset.
Celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik said that the shade was the perfect choice for Gomez’s metallic frost sunset manicure, which was inspired by her Louis Vuitton gown. “It was like frosted gold, so I wanted that same effect on the nail, a frosted metallic,” said Bachik. The shade may have gotten its moment on the red carpet à la Gomez, but it’s surprisingly wearable for everyday life. Frost Yourself has a luminous, multidimensional finish that catches the light without looking overly glittery, giving nails that glossy, dressed-up effect with minimal effort. Best part: it’ll work with just about anything in your closet.

The polish is part of Essie’s Gel Couture line, which is designed to deliver the look and shine of a gel manicure at home without having to use a UV lamp (or spend a fortune at the salon). Application-wise, the curved brush helps coat the nail evenly, making it easier to get close to the cuticle without flooding it. Apply two coats of color, letting each layer dry in between, then make like Gomez and top it with the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat for extra shine and staying power.
Even if you’re not skilled at at-home manicures, this shade makes things easy. That’s thanks to the shimmery finish that’s more forgiving than an opaque cream shade since subtle imperfections are less noticeable. Wear it alone for a soft, glowy manicure or layer it over another shade when you want to give your existing polish a more luminous finish.
One Amazon shopper said this shade is their “go-to when I don’t have too much time for precision.” Another reviewer called it “long-wearing” and noted that the “drying time is phenomenal.”
If Gomez’s sunset-inspired manicure convinced you to switch up your next nail look, there’s no need to book a salon appointment. Grab the Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in Frost Yourself on Amazon today!
