Avon Speed Dry Polish in Melon
This pretty watermelon colour is vibrant yet completely wearable as opposed to the neon pinks that we are also seeing this season. Ideal for a splash of colour on toes we are seriously hooked on this summery coral pink which also picks up brownie points for its speedy drying time.

2. Me Me Me Ultra Gloss Polish in Katie

Me Me Me Ultra Gloss Polish in Katie
This is one of our favourite summer colours; a creamy powdery blue shade - don\'t be scared, this is a grown-up blue - which gives nails a wonderful cool glossy colour. You only need to apply one coat and it lasts really well - great for adding colour without being too OTT.
£3.25, Superdrug stores.
3. Chanel Le Vernis in Nouvelle Vague

Chanel Le Vernis in Nouvelle Vague
Last season Chanel\'s Jade mint green colour sold out in days and this summer they are back with a new shade in the form of this pearly turquoise. Although many other brands are producing green shades right now, you won\'t find one with this much of a subtle teal tint to it. It\'s definitely worth paying the extra for.
£16.50, department stores and Chanel counters.
4. OPI Shrek Collection in Rumples Wiggins

Here at Handbag Towers we love a good lilac nail polish and this time OPI has got it spot on. This is a pretty pastel lilac which still shows off its colourful side without being too pale. Short nails will look fab painted with this cool shade - a real winner.
£9.95 department stores and lenawhite.co.uk from June.
5. Orly polish in orange punch

We are hooked on this delicious creamy nude colour; a mix of light caramel and mocha, it\'s a lovely nude shade that even works against very pale complexions which some nudes fail to do.

We have been wearing it on our toes for a splash of colour through gladiator sandals.
