There’s no denying that butter yellow is literally the shade of summer. From slip dresses to celebrity tresses, fashion elites are going wild for dopamine-inducing hues.
Like most fashion trends, the coveted color has officially arrived on our nails, with Selena Gomez championing the happy color in March.
What are butter nails?
Unlike canary yellow, butter yellow has a milky hue. Although not quite as bright and noisy, it still evokes sunny feelings of optimism and happiness, and we would never turn it down.

“I mixed the white with a drop of yellow to create a creamy vanilla shade as a base, then mixed in two chrome powders,” explains Alexandra. “It looks delicate during the day, but in the evening, when the light dims a little, it takes on a beautiful silver color, perfect for special occasions.”
It’s the perfect manicure for brides and conveys an old money aesthetic that isn’t likely to go away anytime soon.
