Kendall Jenner’s Short Butter Yellow Nails are Deliciously Dainty—See the Photos

Butter yellow was the reigning color trend of 2024, but it’s been holding strong in 2025 for a reason. There’s something so sweet and summery about the pastel yellow shade, especially as a manicure color of choice. It’s light enough to feel like a neutral, but has an unexpected whimsy that makes it stand out on tips and toes. Case in point: Kendall Jenner’s new butter yellow nails, which are equal parts delicious and dainty.

There’s been some shall-we-say “discussion” around nail length on TikTok, with Gen-Zers saying that long nails are “millennial coded” and short, square nails are more Gen Z. Jenner has worn both styles, but is currently embracing a shorter length. Manicurist Zola Ganzorigt, who also sculpts the nails of Jenner’s sisters Kylie and Khloé and bestie Hailey Bieber, filed Jenner’s nails into a short, soft rounded square shape, then applied the prettiest pale butter color to each finger. It’s so simple, but so pretty—just like a stick of butter, but the super-fancy kind that they serve with a dusting of sea salt at expensive restaurants.
