We're continuing our pedicure special. We recently shared an article with the types of professional pedicures, and today we want to talk to you about the design and colour trends for summer pedicures.
When we think of summer nails, we think of vibrant colours that contrast with tanned skin, that match the more colourful summer looks, etc., but every year trends bring us different combinations and new features we need to know, especially when feet take on so much prominence and it's one of the most requested services this season.
Here are the most requested summer pedicure designs for 2022.
Orange, the colour of the season
If there's one colour that stands out this year for painting both hands and feet, it's orange. And regardless of the shade or intensity, orange is the nail colour that's going to be requested most this summer.
From pastel tones to the most vibrant ones. It's a colour that enhances tans and allows for many combinations (paired with fuchsia it's very Top). Papaya or Flame Orange shades shouldn't be missing from your colour chart. These examples from Pinterest and Instagram can inspire you:
The most elegant black
Perhaps because it's so easy to pair, black is increasingly requested for pedicures. This season's events, concerts and parties go perfectly with this colour. We recommend the glossy finish version. Here are some Instagram designs we found very elegant.
Pink is the new red
Along with orange, pink is another of the colours of summer 2022. Fuchsia is perfect for wedding guests and we love it paired with orange, but if you prefer a less flashy, very elegant tone, we recommend trying Coral Pink, a sweet shade that's very flattering on both tanned and lighter skin.
Essential basic: nude tones
White has been a basic colour for the summer season, especially for pedicures, but this year you should recommend more nude tones. They're very elegant, go with everything, are also perfect for highlighting skin colour and tans, but they also achieve a toe-lengthening effect that will surprise your clients.
We recommend the Butter shade, it has a warm, soft yellow base, which you can use alone or as a base to combine with other pastel colours, or add decorative details for a very chic pedicure.
Combined manicure and pedicure
They never go out of style! But step away from identical classic polish and let your imagination run wild. The most elegant options: combinations of coloured French manicure on the hands and that same colour on the pedicure, using the same colours but different designs on hands and feet, or going for the “skittle nails” trend (wearing each nail a different colour) and choosing just one of the shades for the feet. Here are some examples gathered from Pinterest so you're never short of ideas:
Nail art on the feet
Although nail art is more suited to hands, there are also options for feet, such as wave designs in vibrant colours that are very popular this season, adding a floral detail, a geometric line, a sticker... In these cases it's best to add these decorations only on the big toenail, which has the most surface area, and not overload the smaller ones.
