Be prepared to take your obsession with butter — yes, butter — to new heights. On March 18, celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik posted a picture to Instagram of one the many looks he’s done on Selena Gomez. “Trend alert: Butter Manis for Spring,” he captioned the photo, in which you can see the singer’s nails painted a soft, buttery hue.

The pastel yellow shade is perfect for spring and that’s exactly why the duo chose it. “The inspiration behind the look was Selena suggesting a happy color,” Bachik tells PS. “The butter yellow manicure will definitely be hot for spring.”

As for the nail shapes that look best with a butter manicure, Bachik has a favorite. “My signature soft, round shape is perfect for this trend,” he says. “The longer, the better.” To get the look Bachik used the Tweezerman & Tom Bachik Nail Care Travel Set ($29) to perfect the shape of the nail, followed by two coats of Mia Secret’s Gelux Gel Polish ($13) in Butter.

While your nail art preferences are your own, Bachik does suggest keeping it simple for this look. “A little shimmer never hurts anyone, although I do think the color speaks for itself,” he says. You know what they say: know the rules to break them, so if you’re more of a maximalist who likes 3D designs, Baroque motifs, and more, feel free to let your creative juices run wild.
