What’s a budget fashionista’s hack for updating her style for season for less than $10? Nail polish. And, since we’ve hit the unofficial start to summer and the sandals are coming out, we can all tap into our bolder sensibilities with eye-catching pedicures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best colors for summer pedicures this year are over-the-top shades — frankly, they’re colors you might have been drawn to as a teenager. Corals, pinks, greens, and blues that lean towards neon are trending. You’ll also see new takes on the traditional red and richer purples that you normally would reserve as colors for winter or fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the theme for summer pedicure colors<\/a> is go big or go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Orange<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

If going big sounds risky, you can stick with classic mauves and beiges. Those shades always deliver a sophisticated look. But if you’re ready to try something different, here are 10 of the boldest, best colors for summer pedicures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oranges for your summer pedicures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Essie tangerine tease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This super citrus shade will be divine with your ultra casual outfits — denim shorts, t-shirt, and sandals. Add in some designer sunnies and a messy ponytail for a festival vibe that’s appropriate at any age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Essie<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also show off your composition skills by matching your tangerine toes with other rich hues. Try eggplant, navy, dark limes, and greenish turquoises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essie’s Tangerine Tease retails for $8.99 at Target\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Butter london soft Coral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a softer take on orange plus a high-end, lacquer shine, try Butter London’s Hottie Tottie<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. This bottle of polish sets you back $18, but you get a gel-like finish for the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Butter<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find Hottie Tottie to be one of the more versatile trending colors in our list. It’s soft enough to pair well with brighter colors — electric blues, rich golds, purpley magentas<\/a>, and more. If your summer wardrobe is bold, this pedicure color will serve you well all season long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summertime blues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

3. Wet n wild blue gray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You know Wet n Wild as the original budget nail polish<\/a>. If you want to experiment with these fun summer pedicure colors without too much commitment, check out the brand’s summer line-up. The collection includes neon yellow, corals, and pinks. But I love the blue-gray Mile High Club. The $2 price point is perfect for test-driving new colors, though it won’t be the longest-lasting polish you own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Wet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Match this pretty blue with maroons, greens, tints of rose, blacks, and rich taupes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Opi dark blue gray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

OPI’s summer polish color collection is like the older, more sophisticated cousin of the Wet n Wild line-up. This shade of blue-gray is a perfect example. Called Oh You Sing, Dance, Act, and Produce<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/em>?, it’s in the same vein as Mile High Club, but it’s richer and more elegant. Of course, you pay for that. A bottle of OPI nail polish is five times more expensive than Wet n Wild.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"OPI<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can wear this color with nearly anything, but it makes a gorgeous statement with neon greens, melons, whites, and dark pinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

5. Revlon orange red<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shades of red are always on point for a pedicure. Revlon’s modernized the classic red with an orange flair in a gel formulation called All On Red<\/em><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. It’s $9 for the bottle, plus you’ll want the clear gel topcoat formulation that goes with it. If you regularly do DIY pedicures<\/a>, the investment will be worth it — the Revlon gel system applies beautifully, and stays put.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Revlon
Clients|Revlon<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Put this red to work when you’re wearing deep blues, the darkest of purples, or lighter hay tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Londontown bright burgundy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Londontown is another high-end brand; the price point is $16 a bottle. I can vouch for the quality when it’s used with the brand’s top and base coat. It goes on like glass and lasts — delivering a gorgeous at-home manicure<\/a> (or pedicure). But this was a splurge purchase for me and I get it if $50 on pedicure supplies seems ridiculous. If it justifies the cost any, Londontown is an eco-friendly polish that’s vegan and cruelty-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Londontown<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This color, called Dark Amaranth<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/em>, is the most traditional pedicure color on my list. It falls somewhere between bright red and burgundy and you would wear it year-round. Pair it up with shades that lean towards green — light blue-greens, green-browns, and sages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For pink pedicures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

7. Orly lilac pink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If there is a color that says, “I don’t have a care in the world,” it’s this lilac pink shade from Orly priced at $9.50. Called Kaleidoscope Eyes<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/em>, this girly, youthful color has a full five-star rating on Orly’s website. Users say it’s even prettier IRL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Orly<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Team Kaleidoscope Eyes up with rich browns, taupes, and blacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Maybelline vivid Violet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Orly’s price point may give you pause, or bright pink may not be your thing. Here’s a cheaper lilac that’s darker and far more subtle. Maybelline’s Fast Gel in Vivid Violet<\/em> retails for less than $3 a bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Maybelline<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And the greens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

9. Orly neon paradise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The anchor of ‘80s fashion<\/a> — neon — is back. Orly’s shade of neon green is only slightly softer than something out of a Wham! video. It’s bold for sure but also on point for summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Orly<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Try it out with darker colors like muted purples, brick reds, and deep grays. This color’s one to keep on your toes, matched with a clear coat on your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Opi green gray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To close out our top summer colors for pedicures, here’s a lovely green-gray from OPI. It’s called Destined to be a Legen<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/em>d<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, and there may be some truth to that moniker. Think of this as a gateway green — the pedicure shade for anyone who’s reluctant to wear green polish at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"OPI<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Apply this color when you’re wearing dark greys, dark browns as well as lighter, summery colors like oranges and corals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
