Classic Colors
Classic colors are always a safe bet for toenail polish. These hues are versatile enough to work with any outfit and can make your toes look clean and polished. Reds, pinks, and purples are top contenders in this category. For example, a classic red polish like Essie’s “Lollipop” or OPI’s “Big Apple Red” can add a pop of color to your toes. If you prefer a more muted look, a soft pink like Zoya’s “Heaven” or a lavender shade like OPI’s “Do You Lilac It?” can also work well.
Brights
If you’re looking to add some fun to your pedicure, try a bright shade of polish. Neon colors like hot pink, lime green, and electric blue are all excellent choices. These hues are perfect for beach vacations or music festivals. China Glaze’s “Flip Flop Fantasy” and Sinful Colors’ “Dream On” are two hot pink shades that are popular for toenails. If you’re feeling daring, try a bright yellow like OPI’s “I Just Can’t Cope-acabana.”
Nudes
Nude shades are great for those who prefer a more natural look. These colors are subtle enough to work with any outfit and can elongate your toes visually. For example, Essie’s “Topless & Barefoot” is a popular nude shade that complements a range of skin tones. Another great option is Zoya’s “Brigitte,” a soft pinkish-beige that gives a sophisticated look to your toes.
Metallics
Metallic shades like gold, silver, and bronze are perfect for adding some glamour to your pedicure. These colors can make your toes shimmer and shine, especially in the summer sun. Essie’s “Good as Gold” and OPI’s “Glitzerland” are both popular gold shades, while OPI’s “Penny for Your Thoughts” is a popular bronze. Silver shades like China Glaze’s “Millennium” and Essie’s “Nothing Else Metals” are also great choices.
Dark Colors
If you prefer a darker, edgier look, don’t be afraid to try a dark nail polish on your toenails. Dark shades like black, navy, and deep purple can look sleek and sophisticated on toes. Essie’s “Licorice” is a popular black polish, while OPI’s “Russian Navy” is a deep blue that looks almost black. For a vampy look, try Essie’s “Wicked,” a dark red that almost looks black.
