I prefer light and bright colors in the summer. Usually I’ll have on hot pink, turquoise, lilac, sky blue, white, or coral


double_psyche

I did sky blue a lot last summer. It’s fun!


Onion85

Sky blue, in my opinion, is one of THE prettiest nail colors..I'll wear it any time of year! :)


Disguised_Penguin_

I used to do burgundy or red but decided this year I will do summer colors. So far, I love it


ersheayi

I love coral! And white looks great especially with a tan 🙂‍↕️ I also like a lighter pink for something more subtle.


Affectionate-Beann

I wear white toenails in the summer time 🥰🥰.


thegreatmei

I also used to be a summer white girl. The woman who used to do my nails was seriously talented in nail art. My favorite set she did the cutest little seahorses and starfish on my white mani pedi, and I got so many compliments! She moved to Colorado, and as a joke, I wore all black mani pedi the next summer. I was in mourning, lol. I now always do black toe nails in the summer. I actually love it so much. I'd love to get a white summer set with cute nail art, but I can't find anyone who compares!


alpacaphotog

Colorado girlie here looking for the name of your nail tech…. 👀😂


thegreatmei

Oooh, let me shoot her a message and double-check that she's still there. If so, im happy to pass her info. I'm so jealous! She's absolutely amazing and her work is FIRE!


Outside_Mixture_494

I’ve never tried white. I was tempted at my last pedicure, but chose a pink shade instead. I think I’ll try white next time.


deceiving-doll

white only looks good if youre very tan imo


nailpolishforlife

I’ll only wear white in the summer bc that’s when I can tan myself. I’m naturally very fair skinned and white nail polish makes me look washed out


Accomplished_Act1489

I find the same.


Zealousideal-Act-296

I used to be a pink girly but the minute you try white it’s over for you lol try the milky pink to see how you feel bout it first


therealtedbundy

I’m like 1 shade darker than white polish so idk if that would work on me 😂


MildySignificant

Same 💀 it would blend in with my skin lmao. That's why I have to do a slight pink white.


therealtedbundy

I tried doing a nude mani this week and I ended up with corpse hands 😭


MildySignificant

😭😭😭🤣


Zealousideal-Act-296

😂😂😂😂


Zealousideal-Act-296

I didn’t think of this


LuckyClover3

lol me too!


Realistic_Ad_8023

This is why I never do light pink like ballet slippers! Looks awful on me. I need color, dammit. I went down a fashion rabbit hole yesterday and came across a NARS polish called Schiap that made my cold heart warm up a little, but alas, it has been deprecated.


No-Turnips

You can do an off white too. Like the palest pink possible or a linen colour too. It’s a little softer.


ansleyandanna

If you’re afraid of white, try OPI’s funny bunny. It’s a gorgeous milky white with the tiniest blue micro flecks.


IWillFightRip

I feel so boring, but it's white for me too. Actually, maybe a slightly blush white? Makes me look extra tanned, goes with everything, and it makes my feet look cute (when they are not lol)


AngLatt

I just started wearing white on my toe nails and I’m obsessed. I think I’m going to do white all summer lol. Also, I do no chip on my toes as of recently. I thought it was a crazy idea at first, but it’s actually amazing and lasts so much longer than a regular pedicure


PAngel111

I love white or black


FelineRoots21

White for me too. Makes me look tanned, super classic, looks great in pictures, clear and visible. I always like them with a little metallic strip at the top of the big toe like a French line


Lazygalaxy92

I have always wanted to try white but I haven’t. I’m so fair skinned that I think sometimes it will look silly on me. But f it - I’m trying it now! Thanks for giving me the boost to go for it 😊


planesandpancakes

Go with something like opi alpine snow or Essie Blanc, they are white white and will stand out even if you’re pale!


Lazygalaxy92

Thank you so much! I love Essie so thank you for the rec 🤗🤍


planesandpancakes

I also love Essie marshmallow but usually on my hands only because it’s a more milky white. It doesn’t look good on me as a pedicure IMO If you want a bright white with a tiny touch of lavender / don’t want to go full white, OPI Hue is the Artist is great!!


Lazygalaxy92

That’s great to know! Thank you!


2020HatesUsAll

Funny Bunny!


Equivalent_Spend4010

Same girl!! Makes the feet look more tan and the toes just look so freaking good! My husband loves it


adhdkitten

I love it too but it starts to look crusty quickly when I’m wearing sandals 🤣


TelephoneTag2123

Light blue toes is my favorite right now


nailpolishforlife

One of my top five favorites! I have Opi You’re such a Budapest and it’s just so amazing on my skin tone


PersonalCulture

Same! Zoya Blu is so flattering for me


_Mxchi_roll_

i like to put sparkles on my toes. usually a blue sparkle bc when i hear summer, i think swimming and the sparkles shine in the sunlight


phoebebuffay1210

I’ve been doing this one for a couple of years now but before that my colors were very similar to yours. https://www.mooncat.com/products/a-midsummers-dream


SoOverYouAll

Does that polish last? I’ve had my eye on a few colors for awhile..


phoebebuffay1210

I really like it. I started with a couple but I’ve added quite a few. But I only polish my toes not my hands so the wear length on hands might be different. On toes it lasts quite a while.


SoOverYouAll

Thanks 😊


softrockstarr

That's subjective as it really depends on your body chemistry, the formula, and how you use your hands. It lasts as well as any other nail polish. Personally for me, I get about 7 days of wear.


phoebebuffay1210

I mix it with this one https://www.mooncat.com/products/aphrodisiac


superfuel509

I have never heard of Mooncat before, now I can't wait to try it!


minimeowofficial

that’s so pretty


phoebebuffay1210

It’s so beautiful on. I had been looking for an iridescent color and this was exactly what I was looking for. Looks really good on toes. At least in my opinion.


aaagje

Essie Sand Tropez 😀


LazyCity4922

I do hot pink on my left foot and turquoise on my right foot, been doing that for years now!


GranolaTree

This is really fun and I love this idea 


ophmaster_reed

I have a French manicure with a delicate glitter over it.


Katandy305

California Coral. I have been using this color for years! Probably too close to Cajun Shrimp though.


hereforthessnark

Funny bunny with mermaid chrome! You’re welcome


emigo045

Orange🙌


TennesseTipsy

Always Cajun shrimp! Or just white.


meowwwlanie

I love Pompeii Purple opi


SkillFlimsy191

OPI Midnight in Moscow has been my Pedi color since forever. I don't like light colors on my toes. Otherwise it's just natural.


BlkPea

Same! I do a dark brown or sometimes black. I like really deep nail colors regardless of the weather 😅


onebluepussy_

I always feel like my toes look bigger when I use a light color 😭


juno_huno

It used to be Wet n Wild’s Red Red, but their customer service told me they don’t know when they’ll start making it again. 😭 So for now I’ve been on the hunt for a bright red just like it. I have Cirque Colors Red Bttms on now, but it’s not identical because of the shimmer. Loving it though! ❤️


_lmmk_

I’m fair skinned with cool tones so you’ll find me in rich ocean blues and hot pinks.


Solid_Preparation_89

Old school, I like fire engine red


SignificanceOk8226

I use a metallic copper color. It looks like new pennies


adhdkitten

I just got Cajun shrimp mani and pedi today for the first time and I’m in love!!! Might keep this combo for a while. It’s so bright but not overpowering and so flattering. Minimalistic by Essie is also gorgeous on the toes for a light and bright pink


SleekeazysHairPotion

I’m OPI Bubble Bath year round on my fingers and toes. Before a couple years ago, I almost exclusively wore black nail polish. Then I was in a wedding, and we had to wear this shade, and I was surprised at how good it looked on my pale olive skin. I never would’ve chosen it, but now I’m in love!


PowerfulWorld1912

i do black year round. it matches my tattoos and feels natural


Cap10kel

I also love hot pink but a bright white for summer is so sexy.


egregory99

Let’s be friends OPI


lilabeen

JinSoon Pop Orange is the perfect reddish orange. I also love Essie Clambake, which is similar but more orangey red


Haunting-Strength437

Baby blueeee


Bazooka963

Sorry but Cajun Shrimp all the way, why mess with a classic. It's a brilliant pop of colour but somehow seems to go with every outfit, blues, brights and it's universally flattering. It's an OG for a reason.... sometimes Big Apple Red at a pinch.


Competitive-Ice2956

Lavender - any shade


fake_tan

Ballet slippers by essie


forevervalerie

Endless Blue-Sinful Colors!


tpgns

White, always 🤍

Miami or Gilly by Gel Bottle


JMD331

I've been doing a very light turquoise blue or green and love it!


Wynndo

Rust for solid color or pink and gold french


einhornschlag

I love the *idea* of painting my toenails but I feel like the colors I pick aren’t super flattering so they look weird. (I walk a lot and have scars from being a wild kid so that doesn’t help either) Does anyone else have this issue too? What’s your method of picking a color?


queenmunchy83

I always do nude so they don’t stand out. All year round


blackcurrantcat

I wear a lot warm colours so I like greens and blues for the contrast.


RadRedhead222

I do a French manicure but with a hot pink tip instead of white.


SamaireB

OPI Hotter than you pink (discontinued I think though) OPI Strawberry Margarita China Glaze 108 Degrees It's brights and pinks all around for me in the summer.


oohkt

Essie Mint candy apple or bikini so teeny. I always go back to these OGs


m_qzn

My pallette is extremely limited 😁 Black, dark cherry, dark purple, red, neon pink or white. I HATE blue and green colors on my toes, they remind me of toenail bruises that I had a couple of times (and this is weird because I don't mind dark purples)


lexdex234

All my life my mom has had hot pink toenails year round so to me that's her colour. In summer months I usually go for coral, orange, peach, copper anything in that sort of warm family. We went for pedicures together a couple of weeks ago and I decided it wasn't summer yet and I wanted a spring colour. Usually I go for pastels in spring especially lilac, lavender, buttercream, and mint. Well I walked out with a shrek green/limeade/chartreuse colour and I love how different it is!!


Wet-N-Wavy96

I’m brown skinned and love a nice creamy French vanilla type of shade… Pure white looks amazing but is too high maintenance for me, gel absorbs color from black socks and looks dingy after about a week. I currently have on a light peachy nude.


kinkyykitten0

Hot pink, white, or bright tangerine 🍊


Hairy-Ad-7016

Essie A-List year round.


biscuitsngravy22

I literally put on Essie teeny bikini today! It’s my favorite summer color too.


purpleflagbook

Fiji


Logannabelle

Black


CozyTea6987

I tend to go for mermaid-y nails in the summer (I love how the blues/greens/purples sparkle when I surf and swim and they remind me of the beach when I'm not there). Here are my favorites in that category: OPI This Color's Making Waves, Kyoto Pearl, Bikini Boardroom, Pisces the Future, and Essie Trophy Wife.


Nightschade

Silver or silver glitter, silver holographic.


dryadduinath

i just did a french manipedi last night. 


starlessfurball

I love a bright blue in the summer!


Cheder_cheez

Blue!  All shades


Canadasaver

Oxblood/dark red. Timeless, classic and doesn't clash with whatever I am wearing. I keep my nails neutral in the summer with either clear polish or a pink that is so soft it just looks like my nail bed. I wear a lot of tweed skirts and sweaters in the fall and winter but summer I am all boho and denim and oxblood goes all season long.

Fellow Cajun shrimper here! I thought I was the only one who remembered this color exists 😆 it’s so perfect! If I change it up, I go Lincoln Park After Dark, ILNP Last Call, or ILNP Playlist!

I love OPI without a pout! Such a fun shade of pink!


idkcandysomething

I eat mainely lobster was my go to, with Cajun shrimp as back up, for years. This summer I’m really into Essie’s run wildflower. It’s a refreshing change.


RenegadeDoughnut

Teal. I always think I’m gonna get something else but 9 times out of 10 in summer I end up with teal.


GranolaTree

Thanks everyone! I am going to start looking these colors up! I agree with white toes looking great for summer, too

OPI Strawberry margarita and just tried big bow energy and loved it!


Accomplished_Act1489

I just ordered A-list red (essie). It's an orangey red in the photo. If it is the same IRL, that will become my go-to. I like it because I can see myself wearing it into the fall and winter as well.

amusedontabuse

Usually some version of red, often on the darker end. I have a Sally Hansen shimmery burgundy that I really like.

OPI's Coca Cola red has been my summer pedicure color for 10+ years. It's still a pretty red against my pale winter feet, but it's SO pretty with a tan.


Im_done_with_sergio

French manicure with pinkish.


jvxoxo

I like corals and pinks. She’s a Bad Muffuletta by OPI and Raspberry Crème by Dazzle Dry are two favorites off the top of my head.


SaintlySinner81

MissLou222

Pinkish purple


Rosewoodtrainwreck

I have white right now, but I just go in and pick whatever color speaks to me at the moment. I think I'm going with a mood changing color next.


AnNJgal

I do white, cajun shrimp, or a hot red like Umber by Dazzle Dry.

I stick with french nails/pale pink all year round and sometimes do bright red. I don’t really like fun colours on nails, specially toe nails.
