10 Pedicure Trends to Successfully Elevate Your Look for Spring Getaways 2026

Far from dull, baby pink nails are everywhere and incredibly versatile. Unlike the bold Barbie-fuchsia shades of last summer, baby pink is effortlessly wearable, making nails look healthy and polished. Soft and subtle, the perfect pale pink polish always appears well-groomed and luxurious, while the gentle pink tone enhances natural nail undertones and masks imperfections.

If there’s one pedicure trend dominating right now, it’s the French tip. Many fashionistas prefer crisp white tips peeking from their sandals. The style feels timeless and effortlessly luxurious.

Earth tones are perfect for neutral nails. ‘They’re elegant shades that feel sophisticated and chic,’ says Streets, pointing to chocolate browns, like this one from Manicurist, or oyster-gray with pearlescent hints. Ishizu agrees, adding that sage greens and olives are also standout shades to watch.

The crowning jewel of the ‘clean-girl’ nail is a milky manicure, and it’s easy to see why. Simple and minimal, it gives nails a naturally healthy look. ‘Sheer whites or creamy neutrals look effortlessly chic on any nail length, short or long,’ explains Streets. ‘The neutral shade appears clean and polished, making it the perfect understated complement to any outfit.’

Glazed finishes remain hugely popular, pairing beautifully with light nail colors, as this opalescent white combo shows.

Red nails are timeless and work for every season, but Falcone particularly loves them for spring, and we agree. Bold yet playful, red nails check all the boxes. Go brighter this season with shades like OPI’s Big Apple Red or Chanel’s Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour Incendiaire. We also adore Hermès Les Nail Polish in Rouge Casaque, known for its rich pigment and glossy finish, and JINSoon’s Ardor, a vivid red with pink undertones.

Polka dots are subtly making their way onto toes this spring, bringing a playful touch without going overboard. Rather than full-on nail art, try a sheer or pale pink base with tiny dotted accents. Brown-and-blush pairings, in particular, feel perfectly 2026 spring-ready

We’re all for adding a touch of romance to the smallest details of life, whether in your daily routines or your manicure, and no shade evokes that dreamy feeling quite like lavender. Ganzorigt notes that this ethereal hue will remain the ultimate spring nail color this season.

Nude nails are timeless, with a shade to flatter every skin tone, but a beige manicure is what you’ll find on the nails of the most stylish people. From barely-there BB cream tones to warmer sandy taupes, beige nails are anything but boring. This light shade pairs with everything and makes nails look polished and refined. There’s also room for creativity, this manicure blends three different milky neutrals to craft a tonal beige look.

Butter yellow remains a spring favorite, adding a soft, uplifting vibe to pedicures. ’After standing out last spring, this creamy pastel is set to shine again,’ says London-based pedicurist Milly Mason. ’It’s gentle and surprisingly wearable on toes, giving a fresh pop of color without feeling too bold, and even works beautifully as a French tip.’ The creamy undertone keeps it flattering and approachable, steering clear of the brightness that can make yellow feel intimidating.

’For pedicures, I always lean toward neutrals, but never basic,’ Boyce shares, noting that her favorites are black, white, milky pink, and silver chrome, the latter being her current top pick. ’It’s edgy, modern, and still reads as neutral,’ she adds.

Silver chrome is versatile too: you can opt for a subtle pearlescent wash or go full metallic for a bold, mirror-like effect. Either way, it’s a striking choice for a year-round pedicure. As Boyce says, ’It doesn’t feel seasonal; it just feels cool.’
