More restrained or brighter, classic or spectacular – they are all equally desirable this season.
5 main pedicures of the spring-summer 2026 season
The warm season doesn't start on March 21 or June 21. It comes on the day when we finally put on our sandals at eight in the morning to go to the office. Or maybe even the day before — when we make an appointment with our favorite nail technician to finally pay attention to our feet after long months of indifference and get a fresh pedicure.

As the temperatures rise and the days get longer, that moment is almost here. We've selected five of the hottest nail polish shades to grace your feet this season. And be warned: they're totally on trend.
No. 1. Cherry red
The theory of unexpected red (adding a red accent where you don't usually expect it) went viral a few years ago in the world of interior design. In 2025, it moved into fashion, and now into the beauty world. Red on the lips, cheeks, or nails is always a win-win solution. Especially if you choose a rich cherry shade – bright, cheerful, and expressive. Success is guaranteed.

No. 2. Milk French pedicure
If you have already had a milk manicure on your hands, you know its advantages: it is universal, delicate, suits everyone and does not get bored for months. Now this same aesthetic is transferred to pedicure. And if you complement the milk base with the classic white line of French manicure, you will get a flawless option for fans of restrained elegance.

No. 3. Butter yellow
This shade became a sensation after star nail technician Tom Bachik used it for Selena Gomez's oval manicure. Later, Hailey Bieber supported the trend and introduced her Rhode lip gloss in the same pastel yellow color. For pedicures, this is one of the best shades of summer: it emphasizes tan especially well, visually refreshes the skin and adds color without excessive brightness.

No. 4. Very dark blue
A deep navy blue pedicure is the perfect choice for spring. It will appeal to those who can't part with burgundy, black or chocolate brown nail polishes in winter. Despite its dark nature, this color has a noble marine mood, which is perfectly associated with summer. In addition, it is also suitable for the off-season, when the skin has not yet had time to tan.

No. 5. Pearly nude
Easy to wear, even easier to maintain and impeccably versatile, the nude pedicure remains a timeless classic. It camouflages the natural growth of the nail and does not require as frequent touch-ups as darker shades. This season, the main emphasis is on the finish. While the glass skin effect is popular in skincare, radiance comes to the fore in manicures and pedicures. That is why pearlescent shine has become a favorite of experts, especially if you have an important event ahead.
