Yellows

Tagged by the shade in the bottle rather than the name, the yellow shelf runs soft butter yellow and champagne through lemon and bright sun yellow to gold, mustard and neon. It covers soak off gel, matching trios, nail lacquer and dip powder, with cat eye and chameleon finishes among the cremes. Browse the gel collection, the cat eye range or shop by color.

Frequently Asked Questions about Yellows

What is butter yellow nail polish and how do I get it to cover?

Butter yellow is a soft, milky yellow with white in it, closer to cream than to lemon. Because the pigment is pale it goes on sheer, so build three thin coats or float it over a milky white base and cure each layer. Keep the coats thin at the cuticle so nothing pools or shrinks back.

Does yellow suit every skin tone?

Not evenly. Lemon and acid yellows carry green and can pull sallow on olive or very warm hands. Butter and champagne yellows carry white, so they sit softly on most tones and read clean at short lengths. Gold and mustard carry brown and hold up well on deep skin. Paint one nail before committing to a full set.

How do I match a yellow across hands and feet?

Filter to matching trio. A trio is one shade made as gel, lacquer and dip powder, so a gel manicure and a lacquer pedicure finish in the same color. The yellow shelf carries matching trios alongside its soak off gels, and every item was tagged from the bottle photo, so the swatch you see is what cures.

How do salons buy yellows in volume for spring?

Ordering is open to everyone, no license needed, so a tech buys the same way a salon does. Wholesale pricing is arranged separately, so set that up ahead of a spring buy.
