15 Pedicure Trends To Wear This 2024, From Timeless Neutrals to Kitschy Nail Art!

We’re stepping into the final quarter of 2024, and we’ve seen endless beauty trends come and go this year.

Nail trends have not ceased to surprise us this year. One area that has seen significant transformation is the humble pedicure — gone are the days of simple nail polish and a quick buff.

This year, pedicures have been making their way to centre stage, with people no longer shying away from donning flashy nail art on their little toes.

From classics that look just as good on our fingernails to trendy nail art that have epitomised 2024, save one of these nail inspo photos and treat yourself to a relaxing pedicure!

Butter Yellow

Butter yellow has been all the rage this year. We’ve seen it take over many fashionistas’ wardrobes, and it looks just as good on our toes!

Spice it up with some nail art, or keep it simple and relish in its smooth and mellow colour.

Y2K Doodles

You’ve probably seen these doodle nail art everywhere on Instagram this year. While they look even better when accessorised with trendy little rings, they make a good pedicure set as well.

Every toe can boast a different design, each nail customised to your individual preferences!

Cat Eye

Cat-eye looks great on your fingernails, but it looks even better on your toes! When picking out a pedicure design, most people like to opt for simpler looks. What better trend to hop onto than the cat eye trend?

To play it safe, go for neutrals like the one pictured above. For an extra oomph, pick out bold colours like an emerald green or cobalt blue!

Statement Toe

Instead of fussing over how all 10 toenails should be done, why not shine the spotlight on your big toes, giving them an eye-catching design while keeping the rest of your toenails simple? After all, your toenails are the ones peeking through your favourite mules.

Take this set, for instance. The nail technician used a muted gradient base for the big toes, carving out vertical ridges to create some dimension. This is a subtle yet tasteful way to add some flavour to a simple set.

Classic French Tips

We’ve said before, and we’ll say it again: you can never go wrong with French tips. Whether you’re wearing it on your hands or feet, this timeless style will always elevate every look.

Want to change it up a bit? Swap out the white for different coloured tips — the bolder, the better!

Googly Eyes

It’s simple yet eye-catching enough (see what we did there?) to turn heads and start conversations.

If your solid-coloured pedicures are too safe for your liking, put on some googly eyes and watch your toes take on a life of their own – they’re too cute!

Mini Nail Art

Most people choose to adorn their big toes with nail art and gems. Why not deviate from the norm and pick out a smaller toenail to be the centrepiece this time?

As your other toenails are usually smaller than your big toe, there might not be much room for fanciful nail art. Fret not; a simple yet trendy design like this set’s chrome heart is all you need for a fun pedicure!

Sweet Like Strawberry

Strawberries are a trendy yet simple way to spice up any nail look, and the same goes for your pedicure!

If juicy, red strawberries aren’t your kind of thing, you can always take inspiration from other fruits for a refreshing pedicure that will turn heads at the beach.

Paint Streaks

This trend has been slowly yet steadily rising in 2024, with many nail looks incorporating this dreamy, haphazard paintbrush effect.

The same can be done for your pedicure, creating a trendy and rustic look!

Fall Colours

With fall approaching, there’s no better time than now to paint your toenails an autumn colour you wouldn’t usually wear.

Think olive and mustard or a tomato brick red if you prefer to play it safe.

Kitschy Art

We’ve seen many people wear these adorable kitschy nail art on their fingernails — why not adapt it into a pedicure? It’ll look just as cute on your toenails!

While there might be limited space to work with on your toenails, 3D character nail art can still be done on your big toes!

Two Tone

If sticking to one monotonous shade is too boring for you, switch it up by picking out colours in two similar tones!

This way, the multi-colour palette won’t be too jarring, and it’ll give your otherwise simple pedicure some edge.

Bejewelled Glitter

While rhinestones are more commonly used on our fingernails, they make great additions to our pedicure! If you want to draw more attention to your toes, some extra bling-bling might do the trick.

Pair it with glitters and chromes for a blinding set that is sure to catch everyone’s attention from even a mile away.

Gradient

Another simple way of incorporating multi-colours into your pedicure.

Instead of alternating your toenails with various shades, opt for an elegant ombre look like this set, picking out complementary colours for a pedicure that’s easy on the eyes.

Glazed Donut

Hailey Bieber’s Glazed Donut nails might be old news on TikTok, but we’ve been seeing an influx of these glazed nails in the pedicure scene.

Just as they look great on our fingers, they’re a stunner when worn on our toes. Nothing too bold or flashy, but adding just enough of a shine to our toes!
