10 Cool Summer Pedicure Ideas That Would Make You Want to Flaunt Your Feet
In summer, we tend to wear open shoes, sit on the terrace at a cafe, and go to the beach. And a pedicure is a great addition to a summer look. But some people don't know what color to choose to paint their toenails. And we've got some cool ideas for pedicures. And in the bonus section, you'll find a pedicure design that is not recommended to be used under any circumstances, even if it's on trend.
Lavender pedicure
Purple color has become very popular lately. However, it’s best to refrain from painting your toenails with the dark shades of this color because they will look bruised. And it’s unlikely that anyone wants this effect. On the other hand, lavender color freshens up the look and looks chic with any summer outfit.
Glazed nails

Let me be the advocate on the tacky side). Glitters, opalescent flakes etc. look way better on either matching or contrasting background.

Glitter nail polish on the toenails lasts for a very long time. But this coating is difficult to remove. And it sometimes looks not very aesthetically pleasing. Though, there is no need to give up glitter. While glitter is very much on trend right now, its more sheer and subtle versions look more beautiful than the chunky iridescent pieces!
And the recent hit are glazed nails. They're called this way because they look like glazed donuts. Nails of this color look delicate, and they match beautifully with any outfit.
Nude colors

Many people appreciate the dark gray color for pedicure, because it is neutral, it can be worn all year round. But it can make tanned skin appear ashy and ill-maintained. Instead of gray, it's better to opt for colors that are close to the skin tone, for example, pink, peach, or beige.
Neon colors

Many people like white color on the toenails, because it is perfect for summer. However, too many people use it now, and it looks quite simple. To add a touch of variety, try neon shades - they look cool on tanned skin.
Hearts
The combination of red hearts and a light background is a win-win. It might seem that this design is good for Valentine's Day only, but a summer pedicure with this pattern will look luxurious, cute and romantic.
Mermaid

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with your pedicure. Nails resembling fish scales seem to be created specifically for the beach and sea waves. This option, of course, is for the brave, but it looks eye-catching anyway.
Metallic

Metallic shades are the hottest trend of this year. Silver shoes, gold skirts and other metallic clothing have taken over the runways. But why not try this trend in a pedicure? If this idea seems too bold, you can try the metallic coating only for one nail, and paint the rest of the toenails with a neutral color.
Sky blue color

The red polish alone would not make any feet look older. If the color is right and the skin is moisturized and looked after.
We are used to the idea that the classic color for a pedicure is red or burgundy. However, it doesn't always look good because it can emphasize the age-related changes in your feet. The sky blue color, on the other hand, can freshen up your look, and it's also on trend this year.
Animal print
"Are my leopard print toes okay?"
Accurate animal prints add rhythm to the look. But you can start small, for example, with a leopard toenail design. It looks gorgeous. Other animal prints, like zebra, giraffe, snake, will also work.
Flowers and fruit

Toe art will probably never go out of fashion. You can do a pedicure with flowers - it will look cute and romantic. Fruit drawn on the toenails look fresh and summery. And abstractions look simple, but chic.
Bonus: Under no circumstances should you ever do a French pedicure.

French tip looks great on the toenails if the pedicure is fresh, the line is crisp and the nail bed color compliments the skin.
Experts do not recommend doing a French pedicure, where the top edge of the nail is highlighted. On the hands, it is acceptable, but not on the feet. Outgrown nails look ungroomed, as if you forgot to cut them, and they are about to start touching the floor. And a strip of white color seems to emphasize the overgrown edge.
And here are a few simple rules that will help your pedicure last for a long time.
Comments
The last 15 years I have used black on my toenails then I can paint my fingernails whatever color I want and they always match
The French pedicure picture was the only feet I would look at on this page
This entire article and pictures are crazy to me! I don’t agree with what the writer says is fresh and perfect and I don’t agree with what the writer says is old and ages your feet. I believe the opposite of everything that this article says.
I do my toes as to my taste. I do prefer a natural length, not to overgrown or cut back to far. Polish/design is a personal choice.
