Trend: Butter Nails
- 2 min reading time

Are you ready for the nail trend of the moment? Meet the soft, fresh and irresistibly summery butter nails. This trend – also known as butter yellow nails – is all the rage on TikTok and Instagram, and has already been spotted on celebs like Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber. Time to discover why these soft pastel yellow nails are so popular and how to create the look yourself.
What exactly are butter nails?
Butter nails refer to nails in a butter yellow color: a soft, creamy pastel yellow shade that’s reminiscent of – yes – unsalted butter. Not too bright, not neon, but just subtle, fresh and clean. This color radiates calmness but is still a bit more exciting than a nude or beige polish. Butter nails give your hands a polished, modern look with a summery touch.
Why butter yellow nails are so popular
The butter yellow nail trend started as part of the broader soft girl aesthetic: minimal, subtle yet striking thanks to the color choice. Celebs like Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez recently showed off butter yellow nails on social media, and since then, the trend has been everywhere. This color suits every skin tone, makes your hands look tanned, and is super versatile – whether you go for short, rounded nails or a long almond shape.
How to style your yellow butter nails
The beauty of butter nails is that they effortlessly match any outfit. Wear them clean and glossy for a minimalist look, or pair them with subtle nail art like white stripes, pearls, or a glossy top coat for extra shine. Going for gel polish or semi-cured strips? Make sure the butter yellow color remains the star – less is more with this trend.
Pastel yellow, your way
Butter yellow isn’t just any yellow – it’s creamy, soft and just warm enough to give any look a fresh twist. It’s the perfect choice for anyone wanting to try something new without immediately going for a bold or neon shade. Plus, it’s a great in-between color: fresh like pastel but with enough character to stand out. Ideal for spring and summer, but also surprisingly chic in the fall with gold jewelry and a cozy sweater.
