Butter Yellow Is Everywhere, Especially Your Nails@nailsbyzola / @vanityprojects
Somehow, some way, yellow’s become a neutral. If it’s butter yellow, that is. Yup, the pastel shade reminiscent of the reason the free bread at French restaurants tastes so good. We’re seeing it take over our closets already: sweaters, ballet flats, handbags. But it makes an even chicer nail polish.
We’re calling it: Butter yellow nails will be one of the biggest spring nail trends. It makes sense. Neons and primary shades don’t feel as fluffy and soft as this custard-esque light tone. But it’s still bright and fresh, akin to the first days the sun peaks out in the early morning.
And while it looks stunning all over your nails with a glossy or matte finish, it can be incorporated into designs—like florals, swirls, 3D bubbles, and more—very easily. For some inspo to take to your next appointment if you’re ready to get in on the trend, keep scrolling.
