Choose a medium-dark shade of red-orange if you want to end up with a red pedicure that suits all skin tones. Those who don’t want to settle with a one-colored pedi can ask for cute summer toe nail designs with watermelons or luxurious rhinestone-embellished red nails.

Fresh Green Pedicure Designs

Green is totally underestimated as a dominant color for a pedicure although we cannot think of botanicals painted without it. So, it’s high time to combine a plain green nail polish with a unique design on the big toe, for example, green branches, to don a summer-friendly pedi.

You can also mix and match dark, pastel, and bright nail colors of the green family to land a cool abstract print or something resembling vintage Tiffany glass. And, obviously, the retro trend offers bright neon colors for pedicure designs, either single-tone or complemented with other colors.

Dramatic Black Pedicure Ideas

Black is not for the fainthearted, but if you are a cool girl striving to stand out from the crowd a classy black nail polish should be on your list. But are there any interesting ideas other than black and white stripes? Yes! A-list nail artists say that black French tip pedicure will be the season’s biggie.

Paint jet-black tips with sharp lines over a nude base to get a feminine pedicure with a strong statement. Alternative summer toe nail designs are based on combinations with metallic elements, for example, silver stars against a black base.

Dazzling Pedicure with Glitter Designs

Glitter toenails are the new black, and we can see them everywhere in many inspiring designs, both striking and soft. Namely, white pedicure with glitter strips is gaining momentum, sometimes amplified with additional metallic embellishments for a funnier or more elaborated look.

Another trend is using clear nail polish with glitter stickers and prints, such as golden leaves. However, you are free to choose gold or silver glitter as it deems fit — the main idea is to add a refreshing touch of glow to your toenails.

Beach-Themed Toenail Designs

Certainly, we cannot miss out on the chance to sport playful beach-themed designs like exotic palm trees on a big toe or cute sea stars scattered across nails. Those who are looking for more elegant pedicure ideas are welcomed to adorn their nails with abstract waves of all kinds, but inserting specks of glitter into the blue and green of the sea is a must. Anchors, lifebuoys, sunbeds, shells, and easily recognizable sea animals are all suitable for thematic toe nail designs, whether hand-painted or attached as decals.

Blue Shades for Toe Nail Designs

Meanwhile, a deep blue nail polish reminding us of seaside vacations is not our only option for this season. A delicate icy blue shade flatters tanned skin and brings a bit of freshness into the summer heat.

Choose a saturated cerulean for matching manicure and pedicure where toes are all polished with this bold color while fingers come in neutrals with only accents styled in the blue. And, of course, you can connect stunning designs on the big toenails with these hot and happening hues.

Sunny Yellow Pedicure for Summer

What color can be more applicable to a bright summer pedicure design than sunshiny yellow? This season offers a couple of new shades, including punchy neon yellow and gourmet mustard yellow. The first one is perfect for creating a cute toe nail design with cartoon stickers on the big toe or hand-painted smiley faces.

The latter can serve as a great canvas for a chic design with a matte finish and rhinestones on the big toe. Incorporating yellow into an ombre scheme or a rainbow pattern is another way to go.

Classic Black and White Toe Nail Designs

We adore this high-contrast color combination for delivering a stylish look with a minimalist approach. It suits any open-toe shoes and complements different skin tones while coming in many variations. In addition to classy black and white stripes, which can be done in various widths and run in various directions, we would like to remind you of an eternal marble texture, a booming cow print, and sophisticated geometric nail art.

You can select a pretty toenail design as an accent and color other nails black or white on both feet or give each foot one of the colors.

Royal Chic in Purple Pedicure Ideas

With Veri Peri announced as the color of 2022, we should hunt for purple hues in nail polishes and incorporate this regal color into our pedicures heavily. Some nail artists recommend choosing a pastel purple nail polish that matches a weightless summer dress and emphasizes the glow of bronze skin.

via @kangannynails

Others suggest asking for a ritzy smokey purple, which darkness can be gracefully illuminated with a silver or gold foil design. You can also opt for florals made of various purple shades and place this cute design on the big toe rather than committing to a full-on scheme.

Minimalist Nude Toe Nail Designs

Natural looks remain in vogue, prompting us to wear beige, peach, and brownish hues for a neat summer pedicure. As the summer unfolds and our legs get tanned, it makes sense to consider rich sepia or brown with rosy undertones as a base for a minimalistic pedicure design with a twist like the black-tips French.

via @a.studio_nail

Neutral pastel nail colors work well for a vast variety of accent designs, making them really pop. Don’t know what to paint on the big toe? Draw white squares on a nude base, and you are a chess queen!

Nautical Toe Nail Designs for Sea-Lovers

If you are a true fan of diving, sailing, swimming, or at least sunbathing on the beach, you need the nautical theme to express your passion for the sea. In this case, the easiest pedicure paint ideas will include horizontal blue and white stripes resembling a marinière and decals depicting an anchor, a mariner’s compass, or a ship’s wheel.

via @levada_nails

While popular elegant pedicure designs stick to mixing various shades of blue with white, golden, or silver, a bolder take on the theme couples blues with bright colors like orange and pink.

Attention-Getting Black and Yellow Toe Nails

Think of cheerful sunflowers shining out against a deep black background. Cool? Those who want to rock bright-color toenails this summer should adopt this vibrant color pallet.

via @lilac.nail

Leopard prints, a yellow base with black French tips, and two-color ornaments are the hottest contrasting nail polish ideas. And since metallics are having a moment right now, the black & yellow scheme gives us one more opportunity to place a glamorous gold design on toes.

Fun Fruit Nails for Summer Vibes

Clearly, no summer can officially come into its own without fruits growing here and there, including our toenails. The simplest way to get vitaminized is by applying fruit-themed nail stickers on a pastel, white, or nude base. For example, we like yummy cherries, fleshy lemons, and juicy oranges on speckled white bases, whether they are covered with a matte or gloss finish.

via @panibratova

Hand-painted summer toe nail designs can provide even more options for integrating fruits into rich and fancy bases since you can mix and match the shades to achieve the most balanced looks.

FAQ

What is a professional pedicure?

Professional pedicure is not about just polishing your nails. It includes dead skin exfoliation, softening and pushing back the cuticles, cutting and shaping the nails, moisturizing the skin, and even messaging the feet. If required, an old polish will be removed, and your technician will decorate the toenails with a new design or just buff the surface to make the nails smoother.

How often should you get a pedicure?

Typically, nail art on toes lasts longer than manicures, so you will have to refresh your pedicure in four to six weeks, depending on how fast your toenails grow. However, this timeframe applies to healthy feet only since some problems, such as callus, require more frequent visits to a salon, every three to four weeks on average.
