I Never Thought I'd Paint My Nails This "Polarizing" Color—Now I'm Obsessed
My nail polish collection is pretty extensive. As a beauty editor, I'm lucky enough to receive lots of lovely samples and test out some of the best formulas out there, so I have almost every color you could ever dream of. But the one shade I don't have is yellow. You see, in my opinion, this is a pretty controversial shade. After speaking to theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing team, I learned that some people love a pop of yellow, whereas others wouldn't even consider wearing it on their nails.
Hailey Bieber is a fan of the yellow nail trend.
That being said, I've noticed that this nail color is becoming more and more popular over the spring and summer months. Not only am I seeing the trend on some of my favorite Instagram nail accounts, but according to Google Trends, searches are on the rise. Plus, with "buttermilk yellow" tipped to be one of fashion's biggest color trends this season thanks to its expensive-looking finish, I do not doubt that this shade will make its way into the beauty world too.
After looking at various yellow nail designs, I've come to realize that this color can look super chic. Below, I've rounded up some of my favorite designs that prove just how stylish this nail trend can be. These pictures have convinced me that I need a yellow nail polish to add to my collection.
