Not every manicure and pedicure color combination works well together, but these five stylish pairings do.

      We're currently in the midst of summer in the UK, and while I get manicures throughout the year, I usually reserve pedicures for the warmer months when I switch my trainers for sandals and mesh flats. Although I tend to favor classic colors and designs for both my manicures and pedicures, I enjoy experimenting with more sophisticated combinations to avoid dull-looking nails. Consequently, I've been trying to figure out how to coordinate my manicures and pedicures in a stylish and polished way without being too mundane. Fortunately, some of my favorite celebrity nail artists on Instagram have done the legwork for me, presenting several manicure and pedicure pairings that perfectly blend elegance and a refreshed twist for 2025. From traditional French tips to bolder colors paired with timeless nudes, I've compiled five refined yet chic mani-pedi combinations to request at your next salon visit. Keep scrolling to see the manicure and pedicure pairings I'm considering this season, and check out some products you'll need to recreate these looks at home.

      1. Double French Tip

      When in doubt, a classic French tip manicure is a safe bet. Lately, I’ve noticed a rise in French pedicures as well. This timeless combination might seem a bit outdated to some, but I believe it remains an elegant classic that ensures both your fingers and toes look tidy, regardless of the season. I plan to carry this combo all the way into autumn.

      - Mylee Gel Polish in 'French Manicure': A convenient 2-in-1 set.

      - Nails Inc Gel Effect Nail Polish in 'Colville Mews'

      - Gelab Beetles White Gel Nail Liner: The smaller brush aids in precision.

      - Use a top coat to prevent chipping.

      2. Baby Pink + Red

      While I usually prefer neutral manicures, I love to experiment with my toes, and I'm adoring the unexpected pairing of pink and red shown above. Though both are classic salon colors, the romantic tones of baby pink harmonize beautifully with the bolder red for a timeless yet upscale look.

      - Nailberry Oxygenated Nail Lacquer in 'Rose Blossom': The prettiest pink shade.

      - O.P.I Nail Polish in 'Full of Glambition': A reliable choice for long-lasting pedicure colors.

      3. Milky White + Black

      Black and white aesthetics transcend fashion and look equally chic in nail designs. Opting for a milky white polish paired with a true black for your pedicure creates a monochromatic look that is not only stylish but also timeless, regardless of the season or year.

      - O.P.I Nail Polish in 'Funny Bunny®'

      4. Double Frombré

      If traditional French tips aren't your style, the Frombré (French-ombre) trend is gaining popularity this season. I first spotted it on the Instagram page of celebrity manicurist and The Gel Bottle ambassador Harriet Westmoreland, and I’ve been planning to try it for my next salon appointment. This softer, less defined version of the French mani-pedi is bound to garner compliments.

      Shop the Combo:

      - Mylee Artiste Nail Brush Kit: For blending the two shades.

      - Hermes Nail Enamel in '03 Rose Coquille': A perfect transition hue for the white tips.

      - H&M Nail Polish in 'Oh My Vanilla': Choose a milky white for the nail tips.

      - O.P.I Press-On Nails in 'Dream Come Hue': An easy alternative for achieving the look.

      5. Peach + Onyx

      When searching for a shade that's refreshing for summer yet remains within my minimalist comfort zone, I gravitate towards soft peach tones that can pass as neutral while offering a subtle pop of color. To contrast this, I recommend a moody Onyx shade for your toes, which pairs well with the pastel peach and provides a sleek pedicure that complements any outfit.

      Shop the Combo:

      - Nailberry L'oxygene Nail Lacquer in 'Peach of My Heart': A perfect summer shade.

      - Mylee Gel Nail Polish in 'Witching Hour': This black offers a nice contrast to the lighter peach.
