Summer marks the arrival of many delights (Vacation days! Beach trips! Poolside margs!), so we don't mind a few pitfalls here and there, like extra primping and general "maintenance." Warmer temps mean you've gotta shave and wax, constantly reapply deodorant, and then there's the whole toes situation. Your chipped off pedi from three months ago just isn't going to cut it.

So, instead of overheating in your suede booties, break out the peep-toe wedges and strappy sandals. But before you do, give yourself a pedi with one of the hottest pedicure polishes right now.

While your favorite colors may look great on a manicure, they may not be the best choice for a pedi. A nude or opaque pink is pretty on your hands, but can look faded or dull on your toes. When it comes to pedi colors this summer, here's the deal: go bright and bold -- or just go home.

So what are the top pedicure polish shades this summer? Keep clicking to find out.

A sky blue shade is pretty as a spring manicure, but consider a more saturated shade of blue for summer. A peacock pedicure looks especially fab poolside. And once the summer days dwindle and you feel a cool fall chill in the air, switch to navy blue.

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.
