Yellow Leopard Print Nail Art

Animal print nails are always in style and these yellow leopard print nails are so cool!

I love that these nails have the animal print just on the tips, for a more everyday-wearable look. You can watch the tutorial above to see exactly how they’re done.

7. Yellow Abstract Nails

Abstract nails are the biggest nail art trend of the year, by far.

These abstract swirls look great in every color under the sun, but I don’t see them in yellow that much — which is too bad! These pastel yellow nails with bright yellow swirls are so much fun — they’re sure to make you happy every time you look down at your mani.

8. Yellow Glitter Nails

If you want a bold yellow nail look to catch everyone’s eye, look no further than these neon yellow, nude, and gold glitter nails!

I love that this mani combines three nail trends in one for a spectacular look. This one would be amazing for a girl’s trip or birthday bash.

9. Yellow and Black Speckle Nails

Here’s a more unexpected take on yellow nails that don’t require nail art skills. It’s a yellow polish with black glitter speckles from the brand Spellbound Nails.

Described as a “crelly,” (a mix of cream and jelly polishes), this polish has beautiful coverage with a jelly-like finish, made even more interesting by the varied black gold embedded in the polish. So unique and cool!
