The humble pedicure is the neglected treatment in my life as a beauty editor. I go to get my fingernails done every 2-3 weeks without fail, but toes? Forget about it.
Now, I can get away with this 3/4 of the year thanks to the old British weather keeping me in closed-toe shoes, but come spring and summertime, the panic sets in. Will my fellow beauty editor friends shun me come sandal season for rocking plain toes? Probably not, but I still feel a responsibility to get them back up to scratch again.
I love a pastel and occasionally a neon bright for holidays, but I’ve not properly dabbled in nail art on my toes like I do with my fingers, so this year I’m going all out and marching the below designs direct to the salon. I recommend you do, too.

Fresh white
A simple white pedicure goes with just about everything, so it’s the ideal choice before a long trip abroad or a month packed with lots of social events.
Lemon toes
A pastel yellow pedi is foolproof in the summer and will look great peeking out from beneath floaty linen dresses and trousers.
Pretty in pink
Classic frenchie
Let’s be real: you can’t beat a classic French pedi. Need more convincing? Our beauty contributor has written an entire ode to the design.
Summer brights
Can’t pick one bright hue? No prob, pick five!
Green monochrome
Muted pastels always look divine on toes; why not give things a little extra pop with some adorable polka dots?
The eyes have it
Some may say cool, others may say creepy… either way, these are a fun way to brighten up any look.
Summer sparkles
For summer pool parties, festivals or parties, you can’t beat a hot pink sparkle.
Multicoloured
Take this pic to the salon for the ultimate multicoloured pedicure.
Daisy days
It’s giving: your favourite colour is black but it’s still summer, after all…
Animal print
Animal print never goes out of style, especially in this chic monochrome design.
Neon toes
Bright greens and yellows are officially in this year; don’t be afraid to wear them on your toes as well as your fingers.
Checkmate
The only thing that makes this pedi choice even cuter? That smiley toe ring, ofc.
