Summer’s just around the corner, and there’s no better time to get your toes pedi-ready. Here are a bunch of shades to have a bit of fun with and inspire your summer self.
Neon Brights
Mix up your polish collection with unexpected vibrant hues. Try two coats of a sunny yellow with a hint of shimmer or go for a burst of attention-getting orange.

True Blues
Dark colors look chic year-round. Replace your charcoal grays and blacks for deeper pigments that pop like turquoise, navy, cornflower blue and purple.

Natural Sparklers
If you’re usually drawn to nude-based shades, an easy way to change up your routine is with a light-reflecting pastel. Pearly periwinkles and light glimmery pinks and purples are easy on the eyes and the toes.
