A stylish pedicure is an important component of the image of every representative of the fair half of humanity. Especially in the summer, when we prefer to wear open shoes - bright sandals, flip-flops and sandals.
And we have two news at once - good and very good. Firstly, everything in fashion is bright, but not pretentious. Secondly, fingernails and toenails no longer have to be the same color. This article contains the main trends in the design of beautiful pedicures for summer 2020.
Types and technique of execution
Some girls mistakenly think that pedicure is just about decorating their nails. But in fact, this includes a whole range of procedures for caring for feet, heels, and toes. Let's consider the options that modern cosmetology offers.
- Classic trimming is a standard generally accepted technique. Can be done at home, as no special equipment is required. You need to prepare salt and soap. You will also need a nail file, scissors, a set of pumice stones and a disposable razor. Be sure to immediately use a medium-deep bowl. Please note that among the disadvantages, experts highlight the risk of cuts and microbial infections.
- European unedged differs in that it is performed on dry feet. To make the cuticle softer, it is treated with a special product and then carefully pushed back using an orange stick. Use scrapers and graters to remove keratinized areas of skin. The tips of the nail are formed with tweezers and scissors. The peculiarity of the procedure is safety. But to put your feet in order from scratch, you will need more than five manipulations.
- The hardware version is performed using a special device with attachments - cutters. They eliminate cells that have died. After this, the cuticle is removed with a new device, the nail is shaped and polished. Infectious diseases are impossible, and the softness lasts longer than with other methods.
- The combined method involves a combination of the previous and classic types. Feet should be damp while cutting cuticles. Then they are wiped dry and rough areas are sanded with a machine.
- Acidification is carried out using glycolic acid, which is found in grapes, beets and other plants. Tissues are not injured. The only negative is that within five days after visiting the salon, the skin peels off in layers.
You can go to the salon for the procedure, or do it at home
- SPA is designed for relaxation and delicate care. You will enjoy peeling with sea salt, compositions with fruit acids, nourishing masks, and massage.
Give your feet a magical bath
- Japanese is based on the use of natural ingredients. In our country there are few real specialists, since not everyone has enough experience with rice blocks, lotus oil, and beeswax powder.
As we can see, there are quite a lot of varieties. You can try each of them on yourself and choose the most suitable one.
Advice! Before you start processing yourself, go to a professional to see all the nuances of the work.

French on your feet?
Design using French technology has been relevant for more than one year. The nails look neat and natural. Any open shoes can be combined with them and you don’t have to worry about dirty surfaces. Thanks to the white varnish and the base coat, all defects are masked.
Classic version For any girl, it is important that her legs evoke only admiration
Please note that today the traditional option is not as relevant as before. Girls resort to multi-colored designs. For example, in summer you can experiment with bright colors. Blue, red, turquoise tips look original. In addition, you can add a sparkling crystal or highlight a hole instead of a smile.
So, let's proceed directly to execution:
- Start your preparation with a warm bath, which will make the dermis soft and elastic.
Dip your feet in warm water
- Get rid of the dead layer using a scrub, file or stone.
- Let's start with the appearance. Use scissors to create the desired shape.
- Very carefully move the skin around the edges and treat with a special softener - remover. After 60 seconds, remove any residue.
- Spread the moisturizer over your feet.
- Degrease the surface with acetone and a cotton sponge.
- Apply a base coat for durability and wait until completely dry.
- Top with a light tone, such as soft pink or any nude.
- Start drawing the smile. If you don't have experience, use a template. Leave a little distance from the edge and apply white to it. Wait until the resulting strip is completely dry and tear off the adhesive tape.
- When the coating is dry, apply a glossy topcoat.
- Finish the process with disinfectant oil.
If you want to emphasize your individuality, combine several tones. Black looks great with any bright color, blue with light blue, scarlet with orange, light pink with fuchsia. Pay attention to the combinations of pastel and soft palettes. Now mint, lilac, sky blue, marshmallow pink are relevant.
To easily make a drawing, use the stamping technique. These are silicone stencils with geometric patterns, stars, flowers, butterflies, stripes.
Advice! Natural beauty is all the rage in 2020. Therefore, choose an oval shape. If you prefer a square, then slightly round the ends.
Noble burgundy color: what are its features and who is it suitable for?
Many aesthetes call the shades of this rich color the most luxurious in the entire palette. Burgundy evokes associations with expensive wine, oriental spices, marmalade, pomegranate seeds and precious stones.
But, oddly enough, burgundy pedicure cannot be called age-appropriate. It is suitable not only for adult women. With the right combination and skillful execution, many young beauties are quite able to create bold, daring images, for example, in the glam rock style. This color is also popular among lovers of themed parties, for example, on the theme of mafiosi, vampires, and dudes.
Unlike many saturated colors, burgundy harmonizes well with different skin tones: from fair to tanned. Therefore, if you like this magnificent color, feel free to choose burgundy varnish for your pedicure.
Monochromatic restraint
A monochromatic coating is considered laconic and neat. It is perfect for everyday life, as well as for visiting the office and business meetings. It is advisable that the varnish be combined with the elements on the clothes, but if you cannot select the entire wardrobe according to style and color.
Emphasize your character by choosing one of the following colors:
- Red is for sensual, brave girls who are not afraid to express their own sexuality and sensuality.
Bright option
- Beige is ideal for business ladies who often attend social events, such as charity evenings.
Pastel shades
- Black is chosen by young people who express their individuality and emphasize the characteristics of their daring character.
- Pink indicates a gentle and romantic temperament. Of course, it also depends on its shade. If it is too bright, it will help to perfectly break up boring everyday life. Good beach option.
For a gentle style
- Turquoise and all varieties of blue are in trend today, so this is how you indicate that you are interested in fashion trends and keep up with the times.
- Yellow is preferred by cheerful fashionistas who lack bright colors. With the help of warmth, they lift their spirits. A wonderful choice for the warm months of the year.
Option for a romantic evening
To break up the monotony a little, highlight one nail in a different way. It may differ in color, the presence of decorative elements, and technique. A slider design is considered creative when you completely cover the surface with a beautiful sticker with a thematic print.
Now you know what base polishes you should have in your kit. You can combine them with each other and try to create interesting contrasts. So let's get started with some fresh pedicure ideas.
Advice! There is no need to grow the plate too long. It looks inappropriate and stupid. 1 - 2 mm is enough. The best option that is suitable for different designs.
Pedicure 2020 fashion trends in light shades
For a pedicure in 2020, depending on the season, and accordingly, on the contents of your wardrobe, you should choose the following light shades:
- for winter: light gray, light blue, beige, light walnut, milky, powdery;
- for autumn: light pistachio, “dusty rose”, calm gray;
- for spring: pastel lilac, light yellow, delicate almond, “tofu”;
- for summer: pure white, pink, bleached fuchsia, peach cream, mint, vanilla.

This is an unobtrusive, discreet color that looks equally beautiful in a pedicure either in a glossy finish or under a matte top.

Light beige
The top beige shade of the 2020 season is the color Rutabaga - “Rutabaga”. This color filled the collections of London Fashion Week and made us look at the light beige tone in a new way. “Rutabaga” is considered a neutral shade. A calm, soft milky color can replace the classic base for a French pedicure and be an excellent choice for a monochrome design.
Biscuit
A warm beige shade with golden notes can be a good choice for a pedicure for the fall. This color goes well with shiny decor, such as gold foil, glitter, rhinestones. It’s interesting that the biscuit shade can sparkle under the matte finish. By the way, a matte top will make the biscuit gel polish lighter.
Light blue tones
In the color palette, every girl will be able to choose the blue that best suits her, be it cornflower blue, azure, sky or a shade of sea foam.
The most fashionable blue shade in 2020 is bleached gray-blue. Not inferior to it in popularity is the color of sea foam - light, white and blue. A pedicure in this shade will give the image lightness, freshness, and airiness. It is ideal for the summer season and holiday periods.
For a winter pedicure, a cool light blue shade would also be appropriate. It can be complemented with silver decor, such as foil or shiny ribbon.
Light green
The Asparagus color and light pistachio shade will be a good choice for a spring pedicure. These shades symbolize the awakening of nature and convey purity and lightness. These same colors can be used in summer pedicures. To make the design more vibrant, you can add abstraction, drawings, and colored stones to the light green background.
Nacre
Soft pink and white mother-of-pearl shimmers are gaining popularity in 2020. Mother-of-pearl coatings look self-sufficient and original even without decoration, so you can get a beautiful pedicure by simply covering your toenails with varnish of a delicate iridescent shade. You can make your pedicure more unusual by combining pearlescent coating with matte textures.
Lunar
Some girls are tired of the French classic and, in search of new solutions, recently the masters switched to its inverted form. Now it is not the tip that is highlighted in color, but its base. Although in some cases you can repaint both.
Black and white solution
Accessorize your toes
Initially, the hole was supposed to remain transparent. This is convenient, since during regrowth the unpainted space is not too noticeable. But during the experiments, successful combination solutions were found. This season, pay attention to yellow with mint, silver with white or gold. It all depends on your imagination.
You can also design the base not only in a semicircle. An interesting choice is a triangle. Emphasize its sharp angle with small sparkles that will shimmer perfectly in the sun. You can not leave space at all, but outline it with rhinestone lines. If you use a high-quality fixer, do not be afraid that the stones will fly off. On gel polish they last up to two weeks.
Advice! Remember that gel polish lasts 4 to 5 times longer than usual. So don't try to save money. Buy an ultraviolet lamp and tidy up your appearance while watching your favorite TV series.
What you need to know about white pedicure: tips for creating the perfect design
White gel polish on nails looks very noticeable, so any flaw on the nail plate will immediately catch your eye. To make white nail art look beautiful on your nails and delight you with its snow-white shine, you need to follow a few tips:
- use white gel polish only on oval and square shaped nails - this way the design will look natural
- white pedicure should be performed only with expensive and high-quality gel polishes. Using cheap products will cause the coating to quickly turn yellow and lose its attractive appearance.
- A white pedicure looks good only on well-groomed nails that have an ideal shape. If there are obvious unevenness and other flaws on the nails, then you should abandon the white pedicure or disguise them with rhinestones or glitter.
A white pedicure, when performed with high quality and correctly, will delight you with its amazingly beautiful appearance. Delicate snow-white tones suit any girl, with any color type and clothing preferences. Once you try a white pedicure, you will never give up this delicate and attractive nail art.
Do ombre not only on your hair
We know about the technique because of the latest trends in hairdressing. Girls are constantly creating the effect of sun-bleached strands on their heads. On nails the method is slightly different. A gradient of various shades is used. A few seasons ago, the game of contrasts and sharp transitions were relevant. Now fashion has changed somewhat and dictates the rules of smoothness and harmony. Therefore, it is better to stretch the tones of the same scale.
Charming gradient
You can express your individuality in the number of varnishes or the method of application. It is not necessary to do only horizontal overflows. Vertical ones also look pretty good. If you don't want to waste time on shading, simply paint each nail with a different finish, gradually moving from dark to light or bright to dull.
How to do it yourself?
- To level the surface, apply the base and wait for it to dry.
- Cover the nail with the base coat.
- Pour the second chosen varnish into the prepared bowl. After the first one has dried, place a regular kitchen sponge in a container and quickly draw clear lines evenly to achieve uniformity.
- If you want to apply more than two dyes, wait until each layer has dried before starting to apply again.
- We complete the procedure with protection.
There is also a second method - pour all the necessary dyes sequentially onto tape or a piece of foil and transfer it to the nail. Carefully wipe off areas that are accidentally smeared with acetone.
Advice! Don't be discouraged if you don't get the design you want the first time. Try again and again. Through trial and error, you will find a universal application method for yourself. Also keep in mind that it is easier and more pleasant to work with high-quality varnishes.
#6 Red pedicure with gold decoration
The combination of red and gold looks noble and expensive. Such a design will emphasize your excellent taste and make the whole image more elegant and beautiful.
Gold decor can be done in several ways:
- alternately painting your nails red and gold - use gold glitter for this
- using gold foil is the easiest and most budget-friendly way to decorate your nails
- the use of gold kamifubuki is an excellent solution for festive and themed nail art
The combination of gold and red can hardly be called everyday. The design looks catchy and bright, so do it on the occasion of a special occasion or other important event. A red and gold pedicure will look completely out of place in summer looks.
Summer ideas
Since the demand for pedicures increases sharply in the summer, let's choose original options for ourselves.
- On turquoise , a wave dotted with multi-colored stones looks aesthetically pleasing. It creates a feeling of the seabed with jewelry.
- Abstractions always remain in fashion because when creating them there is no need to maintain symmetry. Therefore, draw simple pink patterns on a white background.
- The nautical theme can be seen in clothing, so blue-white or black stripes will remind you of travel. You can attach a sticker in the shape of a ship's anchor or shell to the top.
- Multi-colored polka dots will remind you of youth and tomfoolery. A scattering of small and large multi-colored peas looks bright against a yellow background.
- Dark contours reminiscent of stained glass look interesting Draw chaotic triangles and rectangles, and outline the boundaries of each shape on top.
Advice! To avoid having to worry about the condition of your nails while on vacation, think about it in advance. Moreover, at resorts, the master charges much more for services. Visit a beauty salon and forget about cracked nail polish and overgrown base for two weeks.
