On the subject of unexpected nail colors for spring: Hailey Bieber just experimented with a new, buttercup yellow shade on her fingertips. The buttery yellow shade—painted by her go-to manicurist, Zola Ganzorigt, the woman behind the glazed donut manicure trend—adorned Bieber’s long almond-shaped nails as she posed, fingers to lips, for a mirror selfie.

Hailey Bieber paired her fresh new manicure, which was glossy and surprisingly flattering, with an equally playful beauty look. Wearing a pastel pink feline flick, nude lip, and super-flushed cheek, the model also tried out a cutesy, ’90s-inspired hairstyle. Worn in half-up, half-down pigtails that were plaited back from her face, her hair was secured with mini pink bows.
The trick to ensuring you nail a manicure shade like this is to ensure it is more pastel and lemony, rather than neon in hue. Optimistic and bright, some good shades to try are Nailberry’s L’Oxygéné in Folie Douce, OPI’s Nail Polish in One Chic Chick or Essie’s Original Nail Polish in Summer Soulstice. Yellow is particularly good on darker skin tones, so keep it in mind for your next visit to your nail technician.
