Spring Fever
There's a reason pastel colors are spring staples. A bold berry shade on your toes, like Envy by Michael Kors, makes a statement when paired with a pale yellow color, like NARS Sharks, on your nails.

"Evocative of painted Easter Eggs, the purple-and-yellow combination is one of the first reminders that spring has sprung," says Soon.

Peep-Toe Perfect
Staying within a color family is a smart move when pairing your mani-pedi shades. A lighter shade of pink like Revlon ColorStay Longwear nail polish in Café Pink on your hands and a brighter pink like Jin Soon Cherry Berry on toes is complementary without being matchy-matchy.

"Both colors are so classically iconic and feminine that they stand on their own," says Soon.

Quirky and Cool
For instant trendsetter status, try Essie nail polish in Butler Please on your toes and Jin Soon Kookie White on your nails. It's a daring match that won't go unnoticed.

"We have seen many hues of blue this fashion season in garments and accessories so why not add some blue to your nails?" says Saunders. Soon adds, "The highly contrasting graphic colors make this combination cool and unexpected."

Such a Lady
If you want to let your toes have all the fun, paint a sheer pink color like OPI nail lacquer in Are You Calling Me a Lyre? on hands, which will make a vibrant hue like Red My Lips by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure stand out on toenails.

"This is what I call a classy classic, which is why it is the most popular match I see in my salons," says Soon. "It works well on the beach or at dinner, [especially] with tanned limbs."

Contrary to Popular Belief
If you're willing to go bold, match a turquoise shade like YSL nail color in 36 Vert D'Orient on your toes to a lavender shade, like Reckless by Laura Mercier, on hands.

"This combo is a bit edgy and unusual because it is a play on two similar yet contrasting shades as compared to others on the muted side of the summer color spectrum," says Soon. But it's still so adorable.
