If your feet aren't summer-ready, there is no point in slipping them into a pair of gorgeous sandals. If you're wondering what shade to select during your next pedicure appointment, I have a few tips for you...

When your sandals are summer staples like the Silhouettes' Espadrilles, select vibrant shades that compliment tan skin. A great shade to try this summer is China Glaze's vibrant teal with flecks of gold called Custom Kicks in their recent Kicks collection.

One of my favorite things about summer are all of the ornate and embellished sandals that are available. There is nothing more luxe than elaborate sandals, but you have to be careful that your polish doesn't overpower them. Silhouettes' Flower Sandals are on trend this summer, just be sure to let your sandals be the focal point. Select a light shade to compliment the metallic look. Baby Pink by Nubar is a great choice to show off your pedicure perfect feet and your tan. After all, if you wanted a boring look, you would have purchased flip flops, right?
