These Are the Anti-Trend Pedicure Colours That Stylish People Always Gravitate Towards
A good pedicure can elevate any look, and these are the classic colours that fashion insiders love.


As a beauty editor who writes about nail trends daily, it's safe to say that I'm pretty clued up when it comes to popular pedicure colours. While we've seen plenty of autumn pedicure trends popping up, from deep green shades to navy blue hues, I'm someone who is much more interested in those timeless colours that stylish people always gravitate towards.
Much like my wardrobe, I favour classic beauty looks, and my pedicure is no exception. So, I thought it was about time that I created what I like to think of as a pedicure version of a capsule wardrobe, and have rounded up all of the best pedicure colours that will forever be in style. These shades will see you through every season, and they are sure to elevate any outfit.
So, without further ado, keep on scrolling for the ultimate edit of anti-trend pedicure colours that this beauty editor wants you to know about.
6 of the Best Pedicure Colours of All Time
1. Soft Pink
First up is this timeless shade. The soft pink pedicure colour appeals to many, thanks to the subtle yet polished finish that it gives. What I like about it is that it's the perfect middle ground between a nude polish and a more statement colour, and I love the fact that it works all year round.
Depending on your desired finish, you can either opt for a sheer pink or a more opaque polish like the one above.

2. Deep Onyx
In contrast to the soft pink hue above, you simply can't go wrong with a classic black pedicure. Yes, this is more of a statement, but in my opinion, it's just as chic.
Many people think that an onyx pedicure is only reserved for the autumn and winter months, but I've spotted so many stylish people sporting a black pedi this summer.

3. Rich Burgundy
Is there anything more elegant than a burgundy pedicure? I don't know anyone who doesn't love this deep, reddish-purple hue. If you find black nail polish a little too harsh, this is a super sophisticated alternative.
Top tip: Match your pedicure to your accessories for a pulled-together look in seconds.

4. Bold Red
If a bright pop of colour is your thing, nothing screams chic like a bold red hue. This pedicure isn't for the faint-hearted, but it's bound to earn you compliments.
I personally think that this shade looks even chicer with a glossy finish, so I recommend investing in a high-quality top coat if you're considering giving this pedicure a try.

5. Milky White
The milky nail trend might be a newcomer, but I predict that we will see this particular pedicure shade in style for years to come. Why? It's a much softer, subtle alternative to white, and makes your toes look ultra elegant.
This shade looks particularly good when paired with a white French tip. In fact, this might be my favourite nail combination of the entire year.

6. Neutral Hues
Last but by no means least, if I'm ever unsure on what pedicure colour to go for, I know I can always rely on a neutral hue to see me through the season. Whether you prefer a light nude polish or a deeper, darker brown, there's no denying that these shades look so polished.
While neutrals may be in style this autumn, these polishes will always stand the test of time thanks to their universal appeal.
