AIBU to ask you to recommend the most beautiful nail varnish colour for a summer pedicure? Have you ever had a colour that got lots of compliments and everyone asked what it was or where you bought it? I am not bothered about fashions or trends and I don't want gels or anything tricky to do - just a good old fashioned bottle of nail varnish in an amazing colour!

A really zingy coral always looks fabulous

Dogscanteatonions · 26/02/2021 14:52

I do love a neon pink on toenails.

Rimmel gel polish I find is one of the best.

Any of these are amazing OP. I use china glaze neons in the summer. Toes and fingers.

It is matte though, and will need (any old) clear top coat to make it shiny and make it tough.

Laiste · 26/02/2021 14:56

Do 2 coats of it, btw, before the clear coat.

ShaunaTheSheep · 26/02/2021 14:58

Sparkly red or a warm copper

DarceyDashwood · 26/02/2021 16:27

A really really pale pink can look lovely in the summer. I don’t mean a baby pink more like a matt so pink it’s almost white pink

DarceyDashwood · 26/02/2021 16:28

I mean a sort of nude pink!

Footfaffing · 26/02/2021 16:37

Wow thanks for all the recommendations - I'm loving looking all of them up online ready to make my final choice!

Bright red (Leighton Denny, Viva le diva)
Coral
Bright orange

I occasionally try something new, hate it, and revert back to the above.

Rouge noir dark red types always look classy, must be precisely applied though!
I got a neon green on holiday once which looked cool.
Boring but nude always looks good.

Janaih · 26/02/2021 17:09

A coat of white underneath will make light and bright colours pop more.

user1471554720 · 26/02/2021 17:11

Rimmel dark pink 'super sizzling' or coral, or a lilac purple on toenails, all lovely.

Is this some kind of weird daily fail article?

Hot pink, coral or turquoise

Pinkfreesias · 26/02/2021 18:15

A bright coral or turquoise both look fabulous!

Montsti · 26/02/2021 18:25

I always have a bright coral/pink colour for Spring/Summer. I’m abroad though and I’m not sure if they have the same gelish there...but it’s called Brights have more fun or Manga round with me...

SparklingLime · 26/02/2021 18:30

Mavala Paris, a great corally red.

Turquoise is good. Reminds me of the Caribbean. I sometimes use 5 bright colours for summer holidays one on each toe. My favourite pedicure is Swarovski crystals or a caviar pedicure (white base with tiny pearls). The latter 2 are a bit of a faff but worth it.

thethoughtfox · 26/02/2021 18:32

The best I ever saw was white glitter. Very eye catching and beautiful with a tan. My friend was complimented on it everywhere. Children were also fascinated.

Turnedouttoes · 26/02/2021 18:34

I only ever wear white - it’s a Barry M one that’s supposed to look like gel. It looks great with a tan although I appreciate not everyone’s cup of tea
