No matter your initial thoughts on the poppy color, we’re here to assure you that you can find the perfect look for your nails. Keep reading for ten unique takes on the yellow nail polish trend.

If Neon Yellow Is Your Mood

Betina Goldstein explains in her caption, “I used Chanel Beauty Ballerina as my base color and glued tiny neon glitters starting from the base of my nail up. Then I sealed the glitter and polish with Chanel Beauty Le Gel Coat.”
