Summer is officially here, which means sandal and flip-flop season is in full swing and our feet are getting a moment in the spotlight. And while temperatures rise and open-toe shoes become part of the daily uniform, there’s no better time to refresh your pedicure. So, while you’re choosing your go-to summer manicure, you may also be looking for a trending toe polish color to carry you through the season.
This July, pedicure trends are embracing a softer color palette. Nail artists and salon experts alike are seeing a continued shift toward understated shades that deliver a clean and versatile look. Natural hues are once again proving to be a staple for anyone who prefers an effortlessly chic finish that’s easy to wear every day and with any outfit. Think creamy whites, sheer nudes, and delicate pinks that enhance the natural nail while creating a minimalist effect that pairs seamlessly with any summer style (and hides chipping more easily than a deep shade).
This season, there are three color ranges gaining ground over the rest.
A rising trend in pedicures is pure, clean, and radiant white. But for those who want a creamier and more understated finish, manicurists recommend a new version: milky white, with a slightly sheer finish. Elegant and delicate, it looks super feminine and flattering, and goes with any sandal or heel.
Inspired by the “second skin” effect, nude shades blend with the skin’s natural tone and enhance its beauty. For those who are always swimming or are constantly barefoot during the summer, these shades better disguise natural wear than other darker or more vibrant colors that can reveal chipping more easily.
Thanks to its optical effect of healthy, clean, and well-groomed nails, this type of pedicure becomes the most flattering and long-lasting option for the entire summer. A light pink shade adds a chic finish that fits perfectly for summer, no matter the occasion.
The most classic French manicure is also finding its place on toenails this year. It’s painted on a neutral pink base, over which a small, thin white line is painted on the tip of the nail. This pedicure is, summer after summer, the classic that never fails and is constantly requested in salons.
Red is a classic color that attracts attention without going out of style. On the feet, it flatters everything from very fair to deep skin tones. It goes well with both casual sandals and more elegant footwear, and it also tends to convey confidence and passion. What more could you ask for in a polish?
