Rihanna Just Proved This “Off-Season” Manicure Is Always On-Trend

When you think of fall manicures, you likely imagine something dark and moody—a chocolate brown, perhaps, or a vampy black cherry. But butter yellow? That practically screams, “spring!”

Not according to Rihanna. Just last night, the singer and pop culture icon sported a pastel yellow mani for the Fenty Hair launch at Selfridges in London (with a pale yellow teddy coat to match!), proving that this trending color has actually become a year-round staple. Keep scrolling—we grabbed all the details from her manicurist below.

We can thank celebrity nail artist Jenny Longworth for the butter yellow debut. Longworth (who also works with Harry Styles, FYI) actually dubs the look “melted butter,” since she adds a chrome topper for some subtle sparkle—you know, just like a glistening pot of heated butter. She uses The GelBottle Inc’s Gel Polish in the shade Queen Bee, then tops it with the brand’s Iced Chrome Pigment.
