Summer is the perfect season to jump out of the box and try something new. Why not go for an eye-catching neon summer nail polish color? Clockwise from left - Sun Worshiper by China Glaze - 7, Yellow by American Apparel - $9, Kiwi Cool-Ada by China Glaze - $7, Push & Pur-Pull by OPI - $7.

Summer is a great time for beautiful baby pinks, pale purples, light greens, sherbet yellows, and muted blues. Not only do these colors coordinate with the beautiful flowers, but they are a breath of fresh air as well.

Nudes look great on manicures of all lengths, and can add a touch of class to your look. Manicure minimalists (myself included) who often opt for un-manicured nails can take advantage of the nude polish trend, since it is low maintenance and pretty much never goes out of style. Clockwise from left - All Eyes on Nudes by Essie - $9, Nude-Real by Sally Hansen - $5, Overcast by Probelle - $6, Mink Muffs by Essie - $9.
