Yellow nail varnish for the brightest hands

This is not a yolk. For the AW17 Osman catwalk, the manicurist designed three different nail looks: there was silver (fine), red (surprise!) and a glossy bright yellow, which slapped you in the face before you even got close. Despite its power to shock, yellow is a surprisingly easy colour to wear, especially when you experiment with different shades. Slip easily from pale lemon to mustard, to daffodil or dandelion, to this delicious soft-boiled treat.
