Manicure yellow French with design: new and stylish ideas for summer

French manicures are perhaps the most classic nail look of all time. Typically, they feature a neutral solid or sheer base paired with crisp white tips. This summer, though, yellow manicures are switching things up. The unexpected color makes for a fun, warm, and sunny take on the OG nail art trend, making it especially perfect for the year's hottest season.

Ahead, we collected 09 of our favorite examples of the look; scroll on to see them.

01 Simple Yellow French Mani

Let's kick things off with a simple yellow French. Nail artist Jen Seales created this pretty mani with a pinky-nude base and pale, butter-yellow tips. Then, to make it really stand out, she added chrome powder on top for a glazed donut effect.

02 Hibiscus Yellow French Mani

For a little Y2K flair, layer your neon yellow French manicure with hot pink hibiscus flowers.

03 Dotted Yellow French Mani

Mustard yellow tips with charcoal dots? It might seem like an unusual pairing, but you can see just how chic it can look.

04 Pink Lemonade Floral French Mani

Pink and yellow French tips make for a summery sweet pink lemonade nail look.

05 Sheer Yellow French Mani

An ombré application with sheer yellow polish can lend to an ultra-soft summer French mani. Haas created this look with powder pigment topped off with clear gel polish. She then outlined the tips with cool silver glitter polish.

06 Subtle Sheer Swirl Yellow French Mani

If you look closely, you'll notice that this sheer yellow manicure features brighter tips. To get the look, start with white French tips and swirls and top it off with sheer yellow polish.

07 Soft Buttercream Yellow French Mani

This yellow French manicure is so pale that it's almost white. Haas added a chrome topper to give the buttercream nail look an ethereal touch.

08 Sunflower French Mani

For a brighter, sunnier yellow French manicure, opt for two shades of yellow and some flower accents. FYI: You can easily create this nail art with a dotting tool.

09 Yellow Plaid French Mani

This dainty yellow French manicure is particularly chic thanks to incorporating another top summer nail art trend: fruit nails.
