Sabrina Carpenter loves pastel colors, especially when it comes to her stage costumes. She often performs in sweet, candy-colored mini dresses, but she’s also taken the butter yellow trend a step further and applied it to her nails—with her own adorable twist, of course.
The singer shared a photo of her new manicure, which instead of the traditional white French manicure has a subtle base with pale yellow tips. Carpenter’s nails are medium length, rounded almond shaped, and painted with a clear, shiny color at the base. They’re not polished nails, but they’re definitely very shiny, despite not having any color at all. All the color is concentrated at the tips, a sunny yellow, So It’s a sweet ring, perfect for summer, which Carpenter shows off in a cute snapshot of an adorable pup snoozing on her feet while wearing loose, ripped jeans and her trademark “SC” ring on her middle finger.
Yellow is one of the biggest nail polish trends this year, with stars like BLACKPINK’s Rosé embracing it. It’s fun and summery without being too bright, and it’s easy to incorporate into your nail art—just ask Kylie Jenner, who paired her Garden Bug manicure with fun lemon-lime tips.
The color has been all the rage in our closets, including Carpenter’s: For her 25th birthday, Carpenter wore a daffodil yellow Y2K slip dress she bought on Depop, and a month later, she hit the stage in a buttercup yellow sequined minidress.
Maybe you have a nail appointment coming up or you’re looking for a way to freshen up your closet as summer draws to a closet, and there’s only one color to choose from: butter yellow. In this case, yellow means “Go!”
