If there’s ever a time when your pedicure game is just as important as your manicure game, it’s during the summer months. The change in season brings more opportunities to get your show your toes in cute, strappy sandals and beach day flip flops, so you’ll want to be prepared with summer toe nail colors you want to be seen. We’re here to tell you the go-to shades of the season if you’ve been feeling stumped.

A recent viral Tweet may have declared it “white toes only” for summer 2022, but as many people were in agreement for white toenail polish to rule the season, it has also caused an online debate. In the comments, many people provided a counterargument with their favorite toenail polish colors, as well. “French tips with a pink undertone only,” wrote one person. “No baby blue maybe light green,” wrote another. Despite the discord, we can all agree having a little more real estate to debut a new nail trend is a good thing. Whether you’re looking out for your next nail polish purchase or the color to show your favorite nail artist, we’ve got you covered. Read on for the pedicure shades that will have you in open-toe shoes all season long.
