Sandal season is here, and with your toes being exposed more often, it's time for a good pedicure. But the hardest part of any nail appointment is choosing the color. There are the classic pinks and reds, the buzzy seasonal trends, and the true wild cards. With pedicures, the options are endless, as there's more room for experimentation. Since they're far less prominent than fingernails, the toes are a great place to test a trend or try something new.
Ahead, find seven of our favorite pedicure colors for the summer season. From cherry red to Aperol orange, there's something for every occasion. Whether you're headed to the beach or attending a wedding, these nail colors will bring that endless summer energy.

Red nails never go out of style, but they're particularly on-trend this summer. Fiery cherry reds are surprisingly versatile, too. This opaque pick could channel Americana at a Fourth of July picnic or reference French girl style as a pop of red against an all-black outfit.
Out of the Blue

Summer's cerulean skies and turquoise waves offer endless inspiration for blue manicures. Blueberry milk nails dominated last summer, but cooler, richer shades of blue are poised to dominate this season. This turquoise pick from Essie strikes just the right tone.

Butter yellow took the world by storm this spring, but come summer, even brighter shades of yellow are stepping on the scene. This pigmented, slightly metallic hue from Zoya is rich and sunny but not so bright that you have to squint. Limoncello nails anyone?
Immortelle

Pastels dominate spring, but come summer, the case for lavender nails is still strong. This violet shade from Chanel feels like it was plucked straight from the lavender fields of Provence.
I'll Take Another Spritz

Channel the energy of a seaside aperitif with this Aperol-inspired color from Olive and June. The slight shimmer gives off the same feel as water shimmering in the sunlight.
Bubblegum Glaze

Try a ballet-inspired mani with this glossy baby pink from OPI. It's the perfect elevated neutral and great for showing off a fresh tan.
Liberty

Channel the lady herself with this cool mint hue. The milky green-blue very much references chocolate chip ice cream, too.
