Apart from the emerging trend for nail art - check out the new nails inc designs coming to a salon near you soon - painting your own nails a shade to suit your mood and clothes is the only way to go. From OPI to Chanel, Rimmel and Orly we\'ve been trying all the latest shades and here are our top 10 perfect for the warmer months ahead.

1. Avon Speed Dry Polish in Melon

beauty,make-up,nail polish 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.

£6, avonshop.co.uk


2. Me Me Me Ultra Gloss Polish in Katie

beauty,make-up,nail polish 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,beauty,make-up,nail polish 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

beauty,make-up,nail polish 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

beauty,make-up,nail polish Orly polish in orange punch This bright neon orange will definitely get you noticed! Wear on toes or short nails for instant attention thanks to its bold finish. Don\'t just follow the bright nail polish crowd this season, wear this funky colour with its extra wow factor instead.

£8.75, cupidandgrace.com


6. Barielle polish in Belly Dance

beauty,make-up,nail polish Barielle polish in Belly Dance 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.

£8, barielle.co.uk


7. Champneys Coral nail polish

beauty,make-up,nail polish Champneys Coral nail polish Those that want to follow the coral trend without wearing anything too orangey or bright will love this new Champney\'s polish.

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