Selena Gomez stepped out on the red carpet this week to celebrate the release of her latest project, the seriously buzzed-about Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. But rather than all the focus being on Selena’s new hairdo, everyone is talking about her bold cobalt manicure – and the touching reason behind it.

Selena’s manicurist Tom Bachik shared photos of her blue tips on his Instagram page, telling fans to watch the Netflix series to find out what colour she was wearing. As it turns out, it’s the SinfulColors Cream nail polish in the shade Endless Blue – and it’s only $4.95!
The actress and singer served as executive producer for 13 Reasons Why, which deals with themes of bullying, sexual assault and teenage suicide. If you’ve binge-watched the whole show (like me and everyone I know has), you’ll recognise the blue nail polish as the same one worn by the main character Hannah during several significant scenes throughout the series.

Selena chose to wear the cobalt polish to pay tribute to the show and to continue to raise awareness about suicide and mental health in young people. Fans have followed suit on social media, using the hashtag #bluefor13rw.
