This cute and chic color is our favorite spring/summer shade. This Waikiki-inspired polish features warm duochrome shimmers that shine in the sun. That subtle sparkle is more than enough to make your pedicure stand out from the rest.
Like all of our polishes, this nail lacquer is highly pigmented and five-free. Start with a protective base coat and apply two to three coats of this metallic polish for a high-coverage look.
#4. Creamy Coconut
Though the warmer weather calls for bright and vivid colors, you can't ever go wrong with a creamy coconut color. This is a toned-down take on your classic white and is a great color choice if you want to design some toenail French tips.
This should be your go-to color if you're curating a neutral look. It's a timeless color, perfect for a short summer manicure or winter-wonderland nail art. Now is the perfect time to bring some grace and elegance to your pedicure!
#5. Buttercup Yellow
Cheerful yellows are expected to be a big hit this summer. Most beauty bloggers and fashion influencers heartily agree that butter yellow will be sitting at the top of the charts.

While it might seem bold, this jelly purple polish is a fantastic choice for the summer. This formula is filled with shimmering flakes that add a nice touch of pizzazz to your pedicure.
It's a magical and mystical shade that will make your summer nights full of wonder and whimsy. Let your toes dazzle everyone around you with every step you take!
#7. Burst of Orange
