Summer isn’t summer without a pedi painted in a scandalously bright orange or red. The key to choosing a great bright is to go for a polish that has plenty of pigment; this isn’t the time for sheers. YSL’s Ultra Orange is the perfect juicy orange, while Bourjois’ Tangerine Fatal and Nubar’s Costa Rica Coral have a softer edge. Oh and avoid the glitter and pearlescent finishes, the chicest way to pull off a bright is opaque and glossy.
Ultra Orange, £16 by YSL. Out 22 May 2010 - put the date in your diary now.

Every summer there is one singularly hot shade that everyone wants. A few years back it was Revlon’s One Perfect Coral , last year it was Chanel’s Jade . But this season, choice prevails. While the nude, greige hues are a hit, there are still plenty of other polishes vying for the top spot. Cool aqua, a hot coral, a soft nude or a striking black… here’s our pick of the best.
