Orange is one of those ultra-happy, I'm-in-vacation-mode colors that is perfect for a summer pedi. Deeper shades like burnt orange can have an autumn vibe, so make sure to stick with a super bright, safety cone orange color.

Even if it's an unseasonably cold day in June, these flamingo pinks are so bright they'll serve as an all-day reminder that it's summertime. If you feel like hot pink is a little too Barbie girl for a manicure, consider this shade for your toes instead; it's a bit more subtle as a pedicure color.

Lilac is great for spring, but a deeper shade, like these royal purple polishes, are ideal for summer. A richer hue looks better on your toes than a more delicate pinky-purple, and this shade is ultra feminine without being too girly-girl.

If brights aren't your thing, go for a metallic pedicure. Gold doesn't work as well on lighter skin tones, but silver looks good on just about everyone. The color will reflect light and look resplendent in the sun.

When it comes to choosing pedicure colors, you want to steer clear of a bright Kermit shade of green or you risk things looking a little fungus-y. Yikes. But turquoise is perfect for your toes and has that great chlorine vibe that's oh-so-summer.
