Whether or not your feet are ready, sandal weather is imminent. And much like the cute little groundhog [1] that signals Spring, your toesies are about to emerge from their sock hovels to celebrate warmer temperatures. But before you bust out your favorite pair of slide sandals, consider picking up a new nail polish.
Sure, you could opt for a basic ballerina pink [2], but why not invest in a new statement color? Rose gold remains a favorite [3], but this season it's gone galactic, with many brands injecting the millennial-approved hue with flecks of shimmer. We'd also happily hail a taxicab-yellow colored manicure, as we've seen the traffic-stopping shade grace the nails [4] of many an Instagram It girl. If you gravitate to more natural hues, you'll swoon over an earthy bronze or muted mushroom.
