@cassdimiccoWe like to think pedicure season is year-round, which means it's never a bad time to plan your polish MO. (If you're a hot-pink person, these 20 shades have us feeling a certain type of way right now—just throwing that out there.)
Electric shades of neon or pastel hues like mint have been the pedicure prescription of choice, but this year, we're throwing some new colors into the mix just in time for your next salon appointment. Yes, scarlet reds and go-with-everything nudes will always be on the menu. But we'd also like to introduce you to some unexpected nail colors, like electric purple, dusty olive, denim blue, and shades of peach and pink. Ahead, we're highlighting the 15 best pedicure colors to experiment with. Plus, the polishes you should snap up before they fly off the shelves.
Coral pink will always be a classic. The color is easy on the eyes and really makes a pedicure pop.
Bold '80s-inspired colors are all the rage in beauty and fashion now. Why not bring these colors into your pedicures? We love electric purple in particular. It makes such a statement when it flashes in the light.
Rich and verdant, this forest green is a perfect pedicure colors, in our humble opinion.
Navy blue is classic, but a lighter denim-inspired hue feels fresher.
Olive green might seem an unlikely pedicure color, but it's a surprisingly flattering option for your toes. It goes with pretty much everything, and it's a fresh alternative to the tired and expected mix of mints or neons. (I'm especially obsessed with Essie's 8-free, quick-dry formula above!)
Think of this perfect pedicure color as a rich, sleek alternative to your usual pink or coral. J.Hannah's lighter option feels subtler, but if you're craving something more intense, we're having a moment with Smith & Cult's pink.

Nothing is more iconic than nude. For those who want polish with zero fuss, it's a no-brainer option for your pedicure aesthetic.
Hot pink has been having a comeback, and we are so here for it. This color can veer more pink-pink or purple-pink—pick your poison!
A stunning compromise between blue and green, this is one of the ultimate shades to dunk your toes into.
Plunge into a shimmering shade of violet or opt for a subtle smoky lavender. Shades of purple are always relevant when it comes to the best pedicure colors.
When in doubt, black is always the answer. Yep, even on your toes! It's unexpected and the superior color choice if you're looking to hide sand or any other inevitable damage your pedicure might accrue once you're outside more. The key? Keep it ultra-glossy with a durable topcoat (like Olive and June's formula below), and reapply every few days.
You can wear any shade of yellow on your toes, but we're especially into opaque, floral iterations that are bright but a tad less primary than the Crayola trend that's been popular in past seasons.
Crisp white nail polish makes a big statement on your toes. Opt for a super-opaque, long-lasting formula like this one from Deborah Lippmann, or go a bit more whimsical with this shimmery cream from Smith & Cult.
Any color looks prettier on your toes when it's a glimmering metallic. We're suckers for the classics like gold or silver, but really, the world is your oyster with this one!

You can't argue with the power and compliment potential of a bright-red pedicure. There are so many great shades, but these are our forevers.
