The fashion crowd is choosing this surprising French pedicure for their toes.
As a beauty editor, I have the responsibility of reporting on both nail trends and the latest pedicure styles showcased on the most fashionable feet from season to season. Throughout the summer, I noticed the popularity of the bare pedicure among trendsetters, which quickly followed the earlier bare nail trend. For autumn, it appears that the fashion crowd continues to skip bold pedicure colors for their toes, albeit with a sophisticated twist on the completely bare appearance.
Recently, I noticed Alexa Chung sporting a "bare" French pedicure, and since then, I've encountered numerous barely-there French pedicures across my social media feeds. Instead of the typical French pedicure featuring a sharp, defined line, these toes display a subtle flush of sheer pink polish, complemented by a soft, sheer French tip that looks completely natural. It's akin to "no-makeup" makeup for your feet.
This effortlessly chic French pedicure not only lends a flawless appearance to your feet but also serves as an excellent transitional pedi trend from summer to autumn, seamlessly pairing with any outfit or open-toed shoes you own. To achieve this look, consider using a sheer, milky white polish for the tips of your toes instead of a bright white, paired with an equally sheer pink polish to give your toes a glossy, healthy appearance. If you're doing your pedicure at home, keep scrolling for the products needed to accomplish the bare French pedicure look.
