I Never Thought I'd Paint My Nails This "Controversial" Colour—Now I'm a Big Fan
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 colour you could ever dream of. However, 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 learnt 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 colour is becoming more and more popular over the spring and summer months. Not only am I seeing the trend on some of my favourite 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 colour trends this season thanks to its expensive-looking finish, I have no doubt that this shade will make its way into the beauty world too.
After looking at various yellow nail designs, I've come to realise that this colour can actually look super chic. Below, I've rounded up some of my favourite designs that prove just how stylish this nail trend can be. These pictures have definitely convinced me that I need a yellow nail polish to add to my collection...
