Summer's hottest nail colors meet the season's sexiest sandals, wedges and pumps. And no self-respecting Tampa Bay beauty would walk the city streets without a pedicure to boot.

Couture color

Nothing says "summer" like a pair of white pumps. And almost nothing is harder to pull off.

When it comes to white, donning just the right pair of heels can make the difference between looking chic and looking cheap. Pair Stuart Weitzman's Springfling peep toe pumps, featuring white silk fabric on a cane-wrapped platform heel ($208 at Zappos.com), with Essie's deep and daring "Licorice," a rich noir polish.

Then head to Glow, A Couture Day Spa in South Tampa and book the Seasonal Spa Pedicure ($80). It incorporates fresh herbs and fruits plus a warm seasonal paraffin dip, foot massage and reflexology treatment. For details, go to glowdayspatampa.com.

Meet your new man

Steven's expansive metallic wedge will take you from day to night with ease. Pair these babies with a shimmering pedicure; we like "Believe" from the Lippmann Collection ($15 at lippmanncollection.com). And yes, Cher did help create this mystical shade of polish.

We believe you deserve nothing but the best, so pamper those tired toes at The Nail Garden in St. Pete's Salon Volo. Opt for a mani/pedi combo for $60 or focus on those tootsies with the Ultimate Spa Pedicure ($58). Plus, first time guests receive $10 off any service. For details, go to salonvolo.com.

Hello to Hollywould

We love Hollywould, too, and I Love Hollywould's striped Regina slide in crisp shades of pink, orange and yellow embodies carefree summer style ($208 at ilovehollywould.com). We'd wear these slides with perfectly polished "Coral" toes from the Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polish collection.

We all know applying brightly colored polish is a do-it-yourselfer's nightmare. Instead of streaking through the city streets, get your pedicure perfect at Avalon Salon and Day Spa in Tampa Palms.

Avalon's signature manicures are thorough yet speedy, leaving hands well groomed and nails perfectly polished without requiring a major time commitment. Avalon's Spa Pedicure kicks it up a notch, offering up a sea rock aromatherapy soak, exfoliation followed by a cooling marine mask, plus a silk leg massage and cucumber heel therapy treatment, all served up in a spa throne befitting the royal treatment. Plus, Avalon guests who opt to combine a manicure and pedicure save 10 percent on the duo. For details, go to tampaspa.com.

Luxury livin'

Summer's version of Hanes tees and Rock & Republic denim? The designer shoe and the drugstore nail polish, of course!

Jimmy meet Penny, "Perfect Penny" polish by CoverGirl that is. These stunning strappy sandals from Jimmy Choo may break the bank ($550 at footcandyshoes.com) but you'll save with this sparkling polish from CoverGirl ($3.99).

Then head to Antonio's Day Spa on Clearwater Beach for pretty pedicures featuring an extensive collection of OPI polish and luxury services, including complimentary valet parking, childcare, wine and lattes. All summer long receive a gratis sea salt scrub add on when booking Antonio's Signature Manicure. Details at antoniosdayspa.com.
