I mean, a classic two coats of butter yellow nail polish all over will do the trick if you’re a minimalist. This shade is soft, like lemon cream frosting. Looking for a go-to shade? We’re loving Essie Sunny Business and OPI Sunny Bunny. Or you can always try Glamnetics Pastel Yellow Press-Ons if you're not a Picasso with painting your own nails (me).

Try a more understated approach with these French tips. First of all, French tips are incredibly low-maintenance—as they start to grow out, you notice it significantly less than an all-over mani. These look super chic on medium-length almond gel extensions, as seen in the picture to the left, but don't fret if you're more of a square and/or short nail person.

This shiny version of your standard butter yellow nails, as seen on Hailey Bieber, just scream summer and bubbly season. All you gotta do is dust on some chrome powder for the glazed finish (or if you wanna skip a step, choose a shimmery butter yellow polish like Dior Lemon Glow). Makes me want a limoncello spritz real bad...

Why not combine two trends in one? The 3D accents on this manicure instantly take things up a knotch, from the studs to the flower detail to the squiggles throughout. Your nail tech can do all of these with gel, btw.

Your minimalist heart will sing just looking at this simple nail design. The swirls are slightly elevated compared to a basic butter yellow mani, but the combo of creamy yellow and chocolate brown keep things neutral.

Butter yellow and bb daisies go together like... well, butter and toast. I get it, florals for spring are kinda basic at this point, but it's a great way to transition your nail art to summer. Screenshot this and head to your nail artist to get the most precise lines. Or if you wanna DIY, grab a pack of nail decals you can just stick on.

Combine two summer nail trends in one with this cutie polka dot design using a nail dotting tool. I love the contrast between the butter yellow polish and light blue dots (anyone remember the blueberry milk nails of 2023?). But feel free to get creative with color pairings. Maroon, sage, chocolate brown, terracotta, kelly green, navy blue, pink—you name it.

Think of it like a buttered blueberry bagel (maybe?). These two pastel shades go so well together, and they look even better with this micro-French design on the top and base of the nails.
