Summer is almost here, which means I’ve already purchased my first sandals of 2023, switched from flat whites to iced lattes, stashed my knitwear in the loft, and endlessly searched “best pedicure colours” in preparation for my next salon appointment. I’ll be the first to admit that over the autumn and winter, with my feet tucked away in thick socks and winter boots, I become lax with my pedicure appointments. But come summer—and with the onset of sandal season—I become a regular in my local salon. There really is nothing so satisfying as the feeling of leaving your first pedicure appointment of the year with smooth, soft feet, perfectly shaped nails, tidy cuticles, and a pop of colour on your toes.
Naturally, for an indecisive person like me, the hardest part of the experience is settling on a colour. I almost always opt for nail art for my manicures, but when it comes to my toes I find myself torn between choosing for something bright and fun which stands out from my neutral-toned outfits, or something sheer and neutral that fits in with them. What’s more, pedicure colours always last a lot longer than manicure colours, so once I’ve committed to a colour I’m stuck with it for a few weeks…
