Amongst the best things about the summer is the joy of setting your out-of-office message to go on vacation, and all the new shoes is the fun that comes with landing on the perfect pedicure shade now that your feet can see the light of the day. However, it’s easier said than done when you’re standing in front of a hundred options at the nail salon, which is why I polled everyone around the office to share what they’ve been wearing. Try something colourful and bright, but if punchy and pink corals aren’t your thing, a few staffers also make a strong case for summer darks and neutrals with a kick. Stop getting stuck-up in one shade and try many nail colours.
Below Are 8 Cute Summer Nail Colours For The Toes.
OPI Nail Lacquer In Cajun Shrimp Nail Colours
This bright coral shade is one of OPI’s best sellers. This shade has literally worn by many since high school. Any day you visit a nail salon, try this colour on your toes, it’s quite lovely.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Polish In Purple Glaze
Though dark purple is not a perfect choice for summer, however, there is another deeper, almost-black shades of purple and blue pop in a really nice way against pale skin. Try Essei’s No More Film and OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark, but when you want something with a hint more colour, this Marc Jocobs polish is the coolest shade of grape. Throw a pair of black leather mules and you are good to go!
Nars Nail Polish In Zakynthos
For many, simple, natural, nude nails are always it for them. In the winter, some like to keep them polish-free and shiny with a quick buff, but when summer rolls around it’s this perfect beige all season long. It has a slightly mauve-y undertone, which makes it super feminine and flattering on every skin tone. Try it on short, neat nails, and pair with cute leather slides.
Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour In Coralium
I don’t think anybody’s feet should be seen bare of nail polish. Even in the darkest winter. In summer try something exciting, Chanel’s Coralium is the perfect pink-ish coral; It’s vibrant enough to distract from toes, but still softer and beachier than classic crimson.
Jin Soon Nail Lacquer In Audacity
It doesn’t necessarily say summer in any capacity, but the dark, wine-red colour of Jin Soon’s Nail Lacquer is my go-to. It gives a toes a chic, sophisticated look no matter whatever beat-up flip-flops you’re wearing. The aesthetic never fails, you will practically get compliments every time.
Sally Hansan Insta-Dri Nail Colour In Making Mauves
For those who loves doing their nails at home, a quick-drying nail polish is the key, especially for those who are clumsy and always multi-tasking or just impatient. For pedicures, go for mauves and purples, more muted colours that wouldn’t detract from your footwear. Try this shade from Sally Hansen because it has the subtlest sheen, which is fun for sunny days.
Essie Nail Polish In Really Red
You can never go wrong with a classic red, but this nail colour is the absolute best one for light and fair skin in the summer. Like the name implies, it’s a true bold, fire-engine red that goes with anything you’re planning to wear.
Essie Gel Couture In Model Citizen
And here it is, the perfect summer pink. This nail colour is bright, fun, and looks great in the pool on the weekend. However, it is not so bright that it’s jarring in open-toes sandals when your toes are back at the 9 to 5 during the week.
