It feels like spring is finally here. And, if you’re looking for a subtle way to nod to spring vibes, the latest butter yellow aesthetic trend is the perfect way to do it. Selena Gomez recently grabbed headlines with her butter yellow nail colour, making the pastel shade a front-runner for springs most popular hue. With a handful of other celebs getting on board like Hailey Bieber, you’ll be seeing it everywhere this season.

Manicure trends have gone down more of a “my nails but better” vibe recently (for example, natural, milk bath and glazed nails), but butter yellow nails are also having a big moment. Want to get in on the butter yellow trend by way of a fresh manicure? From minimalist sets with a high-shine finish to spring-ready flower designs, here are 7 super cute butter yellow nail ideas.
