At this point, my Pinterest is probably sick of me searching the same phrases like “Spring nail ideas,” “Spring outfit ideas,” “Spring hair inspiration,” over and over again. If my Pinterest search bar had a voice, I imagine right now she would sound something like Miranda Priestly: “Florals for Spring—groundbreaking.”
Luckily for anyone also experiencing Pinterest fatigue, our favorite celebrities serve as great, real-time trend inspiration when we feel like the well of Spring-themed beauty hacks is running dry. If you’re looking to upgrade your Spring and Summer manicure, Kelsea Ballerini’s butter yellow nails at last night’s ACM Awards are a great option.
How to Nail Ballerini’s Butter-Inspired Mani
Last night’s American Country Music Awards were the definition of star-studded, with performances from country- and pop-music royalty like Gwen Stefani, Chris Stapleton, Noah Kahan and, of course, Kelsea Ballerini. Ballerini first appeared at the show in a glamorous, light gold gown that perfectly draped along her figure and tastefully exposed her back. Complimenting her look was her long, almond-shaped nails painted in the daintiest, butter-yellow polish, and we simply can’t get enough.
While we usually opt for brighter shades for spring, like pinks and greens, Ballerini’s pastel yellow is the perfect understated yet on-theme manicure for the season, and there are plenty of options on the market for getting this color yourself, like Chanel’s LE VERNIS Longwear Nail Color ($32) in shade OVNI, O.P.I.’s Nail Lacquer ($12) in shade Blinded by the Ring Light or Londontown’s Lakur ($16) in shade Buttercup.
