I've been on the hunt for a really great color to paint my toes for the summer...any suggestions? I don't like nudes or light pastels as they don't really stand out...but I don't want anything scary either...:)

Well I guess I can't answer after all b/c I only use nudes and light pinks on my toes lol

I like OPI Thrill of Brazil or Strawberry Margarita :)

I love bright corals/peaches in the summer! They actually match most other colors, and are so much fun without being intimidating. "My chihuaha bites" by OPI comes to mind.

Hot pinks and fuschias are also fun, though a bit more daring.

Here are some of my favs:
Orly Blue Collar is a amazing bright blue
OPI Strawberry Margarita is a bright pink without being too neon
The new China Glaze OMG! collection is really great for the summer...all the colors are holographic and have a subtle rainbow sparkle.

I love bright orange/coral and fuschia for fun shades. I have two NYC polishes, they're great to experiment with as they're only $2.

I love using hot pink for summer, but sometimes I use off white to make my toes look a little tanner, lol.

I totally love Nicole by OPI - Ink A Dink A Pink.
Or Rimmel 60 seconds - Manic or Zeitgiest.

I love bright dark pink/coral/apricot nail shades for summer. My faves are:

Ulta - Cool Melon
Ulta - Mango
OPI - Your Villa or Mine
OPI - Melon of Troy

Some of my faves! If you go to www.nailgal.com (http://www.nailgal.com), you can see pictures of these (or at least most of them).

OPI Strawberry Margarita (bright happy pink creme)
OPI Cajun Shrimp (a not-too-orange coral)
OPI California Raspberry
OPI Its All Greek To Me (shimmery coraly pink)
OPI Vodka & Caviar (bright red creme)

China Glaze 100 Proof Pink (bright pink glittery goodness)
ChG Rosita (another pretty shimmery bright pink)
ChG Blue Sparrow (bright blue and lots of shiny glitter)
Any of the ChG "OMG" line--they're metallic/holographic and are so fun to wear in the sunshine

I 2nd OPI Cajun Shrimp, Your Villa or Mine and Strawberry Margarita, and a few others you might want to look at are:
SpaRitual Life of the Party-I just got this color, its a bright red with a bluish opalescence that makes the red flash hot pink in certain light-its hard to describe, but its really gorgeous!
OPI La Pazatively Hot-Another great pink thats perfect for spring
OPI Pompeii Purple-Fushcia pink that flashes purple
OPI Cara Mia Crimson-Coral-red that flashes gold

During the summer I try to match my sandals a bit. When I'm wearing black, however, I try out a bright red for my toes. It makes them stand out a lot, but in a good way.
