There’s a reason butter yellow is taking over this summer—it’s both a buzzy color trend and a timeless hue. It’s ease to integrate into any wardrobe, yet offers a pop of mood-boosting power. We’d wager that’s why it was the perfect shade for Kendall Jenner’s latest manicure, which we’re adding to our summer mood board, stat.
It’s not an understatement to say Jenner’s style leans on the minimalist side, but she tries out a fun trend now and again. A short, butter yellow manicure is exactly what we’d expect mid-summer from the model, who posted a slideshow of photos to Instagram debuting the new nails.
Subtle, minimalist manicures have ruled across the celebrity set, and the 28-year-old’s newest manicure is another example. It looks like she’s wearing her natural nails, filed into a circular, almond shape. Her polish color is the ideal buttery yellow shade that’s not too bright, but not too soft. And, that’s it! Jenner’s chic vacation back-drop and summer activities make the simple nail design all the more appealing.
All you need to get a similar manicure to Jenner’s is a bottle of sunshine-inspired polish. Olive & June’s JLR is a great under-$10 option, and Gucci’s Cecilia Ivory would look pretty on your nails and vanity.
Throughout the slideshow, Jenner gives a glimpse of her current summer wardrobe go-to’s. For lounging seaside she opted for a navy blue bikini paired with a matching Polo baseball cap. While making pottery with her sister Kylie, she dressed in a pair of worn-in white overalls, and her cozy loungewear look featured striped linen shorts and a sweet rose-detailed tank top from Ratboi.
