Open-toe season is officially here, and pedicures are back in the spotlight. I’m a big believer in the fact that cute shoes deserve equally cute toes. Whether you’re slipping into strappy sandals, chunky slides, or classic mules, having a fresh pedicure in the right shade is the ultimate style move this season.
This year’s trends are all about the classics and punchy twists. Sparkle is making a big comeback, with glittery finishes adding a little extra pizzazz to every step. Vibrant hues like emerald greens bring a unique, fresh energy to the season. And for those who prefer something more low-key, classic milky whites and timeless French tip pedicures are still reigning supreme.
No matter your vibe, your pedicure shouldn’t be an afterthought in your routine this summer. So, step into the season ready to show off toes with these six pedicure trends that everyone will be wearing.

A classic French tip design has never failed, but for those who want to change things up, double up on white.
“Milky French pedicures are one of the hottest and elevated minimalist looks for this summer,” says nail artist Priscilla Nguyen. “It has a long-lasting appeal because of its low contrast, chips and regrowth are less noticeable. Since less is more this year, a milky French adds a fashion-forward twist.”

Instead of complicating your pedicures, go for a timeless staple color like white.
“A modern classic suitable for this summer trend with its polished and elegant look without being too flashy for all the minimalists,” says Nguyen. “It contrasts beautifully with any skin tone, making toes look fresh and clean in sandals or barefoot at the beach or pool. Plus, it offers day-to-night versatility, matching with any summer outfit.”

Bling toes are making a bold comeback this summer because they add instant personality to any pedicure.
“Sparkling crystals, rhinestones, and metallic accents catch the light and draw attention, especially when paired with open toed sandals,” notes Nguyen. “This playful yet luxurious style lets you express your creativity while staying summer-ready.”
