I don’t know about you, but I’m still clinging on to summer with everything that I have in me. Yes, it may be grey outside as I write this, but let’s be honest, for us Brits, unexpected downpours come part and parcel with the summer season. So, while the weather may be proof that the autumn trends are creeping ever closer, I’m not one to let something as silly as a bit of rain get in the way of embracing summer just that little bit longer—particularly when it comes to pedicure trends.
In light of this, I’ve been scrolling my feed, all in the name of research, to discover summer's ultimate pedicure colours. After all, what better way is there to close sandal season than with a set that channels this time of year? Of course, the vibrant picanté pedicure was high on the list, a favourite with celebrities like Lily Allen throughout the summer months. I was also tempted to see how sunshine-inspired sol nails would translate on my toes, picturing the golden hue paired with tan sandals and cream flip flops.
In the end, however, my hours of scrolling revealed that there was only one pedicure trend which could truly be named summer’s chicest pedi, and it turns out, it’s a trend that doesn’t just stick to one specific nail colour. Instead, the neon pedicure offers a bright, bold take on all our favourite summer nail colours, making these hues the perfect inspo for any August nail appointments. Just allow me to prove it...
