Butter Yellow French Tips

Looking for a playful twist on the classic French manicure? Try swapping out the traditional white tips for a pop of butter yellow. This fresh take on a timeless style adds a subtle splash of colour while still maintaining the clean, polished look that makes French tips so iconic. Butter yellow is soft enough to feel elegant but bold enough to make a statement, making it the perfect modern update for those who love minimalist nail art with a little personality.

Try Glazed Butter Yellow Nails

This pastel hue pairs beautifully with a sheer nude or pink base, creating a warm and sunny finish that’s ideal for spring and summer. It’s a great option for anyone wanting to try a nail trend that’s both trendy and wearable. Butter yellow French tips are a stylish way to refresh your mani and step outside the usual nail routine.

If you want to elevate your manicure with a modern, eye-catching twist, glazed butter yellow nails are the perfect choice. This trend combines the soft, cheerful warmth of butter yellow with the high-shine, pearlescent finish of glazed or chrome nails – resulting in a look that’s both delicate and futuristic. Inspired by the viral “glazed donut” nails, this style gives your manicure a reflective, light-catching glow that shimmers beautifully in the sunlight. Go for a sheer white, like Ghosting Gel Polish, if you want a more pearly look overall, or choose a pale nude for a more natural and subtle look (Cream On Top is the perfect creamy nude polish for this).

Flowery Butter Yellow Manicure for the Summer

The buttery yellow base adds a playful, pastel pop, while the glazed top coat creates a smooth, almost glassy surface that feels luxurious and on-trend. It’s ideal for those who love minimalist colours but want a little extra shine and sophistication. It's the ultimate summer glow-up for your fingertips.
