Butter yellow may have been the defining colour of 2024/25 – with the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Aubrey Plaza, Rihanna and Simone Ashley wearing the chic shade – but it seems as though it's not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, butter yellow nails, in particular, are making quite the comeback this summer.
Not only are butter yellow nails in right now (thanks to the heatwave making us feel like summer's already arrived) but when it comes to manifestation manicures, it may also bring good luck – or, at least, elevated vibes. According to Sarah Potter, a tarot reader and psychic medium, yellow symbolises happiness and courage, and is known to bring a boost of optimism.
“Every colour holds a vibrational energy that can enhance our intentions,” she told Glamour. “When we use colour consciously, we can manifest our desires, shift how we feel, and change the energy. We all relate to colour; we all know which colours we live and which ones we repel. This is reflective of the energy we are working with and what we need to feel balanced.”
Whether you are manifesting good luck, seeking a brighter outlook or simply want to hop on the butter yellow trend once more, one thing's for sure: You can't go wrong with such a cute colour – and it's always good to improve your mood where you can.
