Temperatures are climbing, sandals are out, and don’t forget about your toes, which deserve some time to shine after being crammed in boots or sneakers all year! Whether you’re beach-hopping, enjoying brunch in slides, or simply chilling by the pool, having a pedicure during this season is a must. But not just any boring pedicure—we are talking about Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025!!

What’s trending? What requires no effort but still radiates sophistication? What is chic without being overindulgent? Let’s not forget the big questions. I’ve put together some of the best ideas for nude summer toe nails, incorporating real designs that tip the scale – pun intended – towards glam while still being wearable. Think pedicures brimming with bright colors, polished fun, and just a sprinkle of bling. Follow along for tips and tools as well as a couple of micro-stories because we all have that one summer memory attached to a shade of polish, right?

Peachy Florals with a French Twist

This design is that perfect balance between sweet yet virile. The tip of this toe nail is touched with a soft French hue in creamy peach, complemented with translucent nude base as supporting dancer while 3D flower detailing gives it that extra sass. What earns it extra cuteness? The petals are so delicate that they might as well be candy glass when hit by light, and the glossy finish seals the deal. For ladies looking to keep pace with summer trends, this summer toe pedicure speaks every note: sleek, tender, shiny and completely prep-work flooring.

To achieve it, I would use Essie’s “Tart Deco” for the tips and OPI’s “Bubble Bath” for the base. For the 3D petals, a nail art set with jelly polish and mini rhinestones works best. Complete the design with Seche Vite for insane shine.

If you are up for a little bit of a DIY challenge, here’s the trick: sculpt the French tip curve using a fine brush, cure it under the lamp, and then apply flower decals or sculpt petals with builder gel. Sculpting software is recommended by celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik when shaping 3D art: “It’s the easiest way to create dimension without bulk.”

I attempted a design similar to this one last year and quite frankly? I couldn’t take my eyes off my toes. It made me want to wear open-toe heels with everything. Even my best friend, who never pays attention to my pedicures, said it looked “like a mini sculpture on my feet.” I’ll take that as a win.

Neon Orange Glow Up

When we say bold, the first thing that comes to mind is the orange matte set…it doesn’t just hint at summer, it goes ahead and screams it. These are the type of vibrant shades that put you in a good mood, and enhance your tan by 10 times. This set is totally minimalist, but contrasts the bright color scheme perfectly. It gives a clean silhouette and works for classic and edgy wardrobes. This year, orange is having a moment in both designs and colors.

The rest of the polish will need Holo Taco’s matte orange drink or Cirque Colors Bikini Bottoms topped off with a matte top coat. If polish isn’t your forte, use a toe separator and wide-bristle for a better finish- streaks should be avoided as this polish doesn’t hide mistakes.

Application tip? Two thin coats have always looked better than one thick one. Editorial manicurist Betina Goldstein says that, “Letting each coat dry just 60 seconds more than you think it needs can make all the difference in smoothness.”

Personally, this shade always does the trick for me whenever I need an extra push of confidence. While on a Palm Springs weekend getaway, I decked myself out in this color and couldn’t believe how strangers went out of their way to praise me—at the grocery store, during brunch, and even a TSA agent. Talk about being an instant extrovert.

Matte Navy Minimalism

To balance out the more lean-forward toward fun summer hues, this deep matte navy is surfing beeches flat in the evenings looks fantastic for summer. This color gives off ocean waves in the evening or the midnight sky—still beachy but moodier. This is a great choice for those who are not fans of super bold summer shades but still want to feel seasonally on-trend. It goes well with silver accessories like anklets or simple gold toe rings.

To achieve a similar look, use Zoya’s “Ryan” or OPI’s “Russian Navy” with a matte top coat. If you are skipping a salon restyle make sure you prep with a base coat that prevents staining as dark blues tend to linger.

Nail art is fabulous, but not a necessity for this design. There is a deeper meaning to the quote by the stylist Jenna Lyons which goes, “Sometimes restraint is the ultimate flex.” The quote captures the spirit of filing the square shape, cleaning the cuticles, and just swiping polish on—easy “done.”

This design brings back memories of loud songs and drives across the coastal sides in the evenings. This design is mysterious, modern, and is a step away from the typical summer toenail designs.

Glossy Nude Perfection

The beauty of this barely-there polish is remarkable. It’s gentle and maintains the flush of ‘I woke up like this’ but in the best sense. For those who prefer restrained elegance, this serves as the sweet spot for Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025. You won’t have to worry about trying too hard, and will still manage to look sophisticated.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Glossy Nude Perfection

For the ideal look, the products Olive & June’s “EC” and Essie’s “Ballet Slippers” work great. They, paired with a high-gloss topcoat like Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, will make your toes shine like they’ve just come from the salon.

This look is perfect for beginners. Clip, shape, buff, base coat, and apply two layers of nude followed by a top coat. Neutral shades, according to Deborah Lippmann, are all about application. They can’t hide a messy base.

I love this look for casual coffee dates, weddings, and baby showers. It’s understated, timeless, and always in vogue. It’s like the white linen dress of the nail world.

Modern French with a Twist

Toe French manicures? Count us in. Not only does this one have a glamorous decore but it’s super cute too. The tip stripe is a white polished curve and an accent swoop with rhinestone add just enough detail to keep things classy. This design, although suitable for everyday wear, is also bold enough for a vacation. You’ll strut around feeling fancy. This look is effortless yet elegant.

You can use the Beetles Gel Polish Kit for the French Tips and Le Mini Macaron’s white gel for the clean lines. For the side swoosh, use a striping brush and place the gem with a dotting tool.

According to several sources, French tips like this are trending this year, not just for the hands. Nail artist Sarah Bland said, “We’re seeing an evolution of the French mani into pedicures, with diagonal lines, rhinestones, and even color-blocked tips.”

I styled the look with white sandals for garden parties and my feet looked adorable before I was dressed. What more can I say?

Lavender Glitter Magic

Tell me this doesn’t scream fairy dust and late-night festivals. A polish that starts soft and ends in sparkle, this lavender glitter look is summer in a bottle. It’s unfettered without being juvenile and serves as an ideal symbol for those girls who want to experiment with textures and designs that make a splash with regards to pedicures.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Lavender Glitter Magic

Purchase either ‘Birthday Suit’ by ILNP or ‘Amethyst’ by Lights Lacquer. For the glitter fade, pat the glitter on with a sponge at the tips first before lightly blending it toward the cuticle.

The best nugget of wisdom from celeb manicurist Elle Gerstein: “When you are applying chunky glitter on your nails, place a latex barrier around your nails so that the clean up becomes very easy.”

To be frank, this one plays to my youthful side. It makes me think of my teenage years when I’d pile on glitter for the sheer challenge of determining where the threshold threshold for too much was (spoiler: there’s no threshold). This polish is great for wearing to concerts, date nights, or even twirling barefoot on your balcony.

Soft Pink and Silver Sparkle

This combination is nothing but joy—Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 celebrates summer in full swing. The look blends soft pink polish with silver glitter gradients to give a whimsical, yet slightly luxurious effect. This is truly reminiscent of cotton candy clouded skies or chilled cocktails on a rooftop. The transition from solid pink to fully glittered pink toes creates a beautiful silhouette without overpowering clutter to the foot—effortless elegance with a twinkle.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Soft Pink and Silver Sparkle

You’ll need ILNP’s “Tinsel” silver holographic glitter and a pale blush base like Essie’s “Fiji” or Butter London’s “Piece of Cake.” A good sponge helps build opacity on the glitter toes without clumping, and a gel topcoat locks it in for pool-day durability.

It’s easier when you start with sponging glitter on the toe from the free edge towards the cuticle for that waterfall effect. Manicurist Gina Edwards says, “If the glitter’s uneven, leave it — it gives dimension. Just make sure it’s sealed.” It’s such a design forgiving design that every pedicure should try.

Let happiness come with every step you take. I attended a friend’s baby shower, and her friends couldn’t keep their eyes off my toes for some reason. That’s enchantment for you! To make you feel refined, even when you’re barefoot in the grass.

Daisy Pop on Peach

Summer is approaching and florals are in—just in time for a ‘kitsch-cool’ vibe. This look hits it right on the nose with blossomed hand-painted daisies over the nude base, with glossy coral on the other toes. The daisies look so soft and cheerful all at once, almost like a wildflower bouquet. I can already envision kids trying them on because of the lightheartedness and not childlike essence. Those are the toenails dreams are made of!

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Daisy Pop on Peach

For that perfect look, use Olive & June’s “CDJ” as the base and sheer nude competitors like OPI’s “Samoan Sand” for the daisies. Grab a dotting tool to form petals and a small brush for the stems. Optionally, you could apply glitter topcoat or foil morsels between the flowers for extra sparkle.

Florist-chic toes are surprisingly easy to do: “You just need symmetry,” explains celeb nail artist Britney Tokyo. “Daisies are all about placement. Don’t overthink the dots—just commit.”

Daisy blooms conjure up memories of slow, carefree drives blaring music with a daisy chain resting on the dashboard. If you’re leaning into coquette or cottagecore trends this summer, this is the cherry on top.

Classic French Pedicure Reimagined

What never seems to go out of trend is a classic French tip on well shaped and pedicured toes. This remains the most fail-proof, elegant, and chic white pedicure for summer 2025. It has that effortless class you get from a crisp white button-up and a clean swipe of gloss. Oh, and yes, French manicures are totally back, from beach bars to the runway.

 

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025: Bright Colors & Trendy Designs to Try Now

To achieve this look, my favorite manicure set is the “French kit” by Le Mini Macaron or the Beetles Gel Polish Set which includes a creamy nude and white. The trick to using a curved French tip guide is to freehand with a 45-degree angled brush—the precision in clean lines is irreplaceable.

After Kandalec paints the tip, she suggests putting a milky sheer polish over the entire nail. This softens the harsh line and helps with blending if you are a bit unsteady.

This look has been my go to for job interviews, summer weddings, and whenever I want to feel a little extra elegant. It’s clean, classy, and everlasting. I have never felt let down by this look.

Champagne Glitter and Crystals

A silky champagne nude, a metallic accent nail, and some iridescent rhinestones lined diagonally will do the trick. These comprise the big toe sleighs which are smooth, fresh, and quiet and luxurious at the same time. You achieve the sparkle without looking like a disco ball, which is why this look is one of the best versatile Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Champagne Glitter and Crystals

For the nude polish, get Zoya’s ‘Rue’ and Lights Lacquers ‘Rosie’ for the shimmer. You can use a wax pencil and nail glue for the rhinestones. A gel top coat is recommended in order to keep everything intact throughout the beach strolls and patio parties.

For anyone trying rhinestones for the very first time, place them on the adhesion layer under gel, avoiding the curing process till the end. “It allows for adjustments before everything is final,” states celebrity nail technician Miss Pop.

Whenever put in a situation with evenings out, rooftop brunches, or even attending a wedding, this is the look I would go for. It feels polished, while still looking fresh and my favorite thing about this look is whenever sunlight hits the crystals everything gets better instantly.

Cherry Crush Cuties

Soar fruits themed Cherry Crush Nail Art that is fun enough for little ones, but classy for adults? Cherries make the perfect example. This design incorporates retro and Y2K flair in vibrant colors and features a French base with a cute cherry motif – ideal for pool parties or some extra flirty fun.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Cherry Crush Cuties

A base of baby pink or sheer pink is preferable – Mademoiselle by Essie is a perfect choice – along with white polish. For the cherry, use a dotting tool and fine brush for the stems. Complete the look with a glossy top coat to enhance their juiciness.

DIY fruit nails are one of the ways I turn my mood around. As celebrity nail artist Mei Kawajiri said in a Vogue interview, “Fruit nails are mood boosters. They’re nostalgia and novelty in one.” Couldn’t agree more.

The best tart cherry slushie would remind me of being young and carefree having summer crushes, and this set perfectly encapsulates that essence.

Purple Haze Sparkle

Yasss! This set is rich grape purple with ultra glitter accents. It is safe to say that it has just the right balance of fun and playful while also being edgy. The bold, sparkly splash of purple color makes it a show stopper. Therefore, it’s totally one of my summer Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 when I want to be a bit more playful, but not too loud.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025: Bright Colors & Trendy Designs to Try Now

Grab OPI’s “Pompeii Purple” or Holo Taco’s “Purple Slushie” for this look. Don’t forget that for extra shimmer, a fine loose glitter or top coat with micro flecks will help that pop without adding bulk.

When going full sparkle, fully cure your layers before adding any glitter. Trenna Seney, a manicurist, says, “If rushing between layers, one gets that baroque texture. Let each settle fully for that glassy texture.”

I did something like this over a weekend in Vegas, and with the shimmer, sunshine, and silver slides I was rocking, my toes were truly the main characters. Sometimes, all it takes is for the polish to do the talking.

Mossy Green Chic

This earthy, olive-toned green is exactly how it works: this color is deep yet modern, and stands out among pastel shades and neons. It is the ideal choice when you’re looking for something calm and different. The design is minimalist yet sophisticated, featuring ultra-glossy shine and Sassoon-ed clean applications. This design features no decorations, glitter, and nothing at all but soft creamy pigment in a fresh seasonal shade.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Mossy Green Chic

To achieve this look, I would use OPI’s “Suzi – The First Lady of Nails” or Olive & June’s “WKF.” With a foot undresser gel for summer days, there’s nothing quite like that glassy shine and long-lasting wear.

With great care to avoid cuticle pooling, I usually go for two solid coat rounds. Polish boards were buzzing with this green, so it was only a matter of time before it made its way to the states. This color is one that effortlessly enhances samsung sandal’s beauty and charm.

I wore this polish during a cabin trip and it seamlessly blended into the forest—albeit in a chic way,—calm, elegant yet one could call soft spoken flare-ish rebellious tone unapologetically subdued, explaining this beauty’s contradictions in combination elegantly.

Hot Pink Rhinestone Radiance

This design? Loud, proud, and tailored for the main character. The bold hot-pink base is accentuated by a semicircle of cuticle-studded rhinestones, embracing the entire cuticle for an over-the-top sparkle fantasy without going overboard. It leans toward a bold statement but remains very wearable, glam yet flirty. One of those designs simple enough to do on your own but luxe enough to look like you booked a last-minute salon appointment before heading to a rooftop soiree.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Hot Pink Rhinestone Radiance

I recommend vivid gel shades like Lights Lacquer’s “Skip It” and OPI’s “Strawberry Margarita.” The rhinestones? Amazon’s flat-back crystal kits are perfect — they come in every size. Each gem can be placed using a dotting tool dipped in topcoat that can be finished by a rotating motion.

If I’m feeling extra, I pair this pedi with a clear jelly shoe along with gloss on my lips. Nail artist Elle Gerstein suggests placing the larger gems toward the middle and smaller ones toward the edges for a more elongated appearance.

My friend’s birthday dinner is the first and last time I had my toes glaring under string lights and now they seem to catch the sun like tiny disco balls. Consider it sparkle therapy.

Tropical Poolside Aqua

Is it just me or does this color feel like a splash of pool water on one’s sun-kissed skin? During vacation mode, bright aqua shades become the norm; this clean, high-shine set captures that summer-on-lock energy. Oh, it’s simple and easy to match with tan skin, white sandals or chic anklets. This is peak Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025.

Tropical Poolside Aqua Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025

My recommendation: Essie’s “Turquoise & Caicos” or ILNP’s “Caribbean Crush.” Remember to use a glossy gel top coat so it sparkles like water under the sun.

When the blue is this strong, no art is required. Vacation feet can be achieved by slicking on two coats, cleaning up any mess with a precision brush, and voilà. Julie Kandalec once said, “Sometimes the best statements are made in solid color. Let the pigment talk.”

It doesn’t matter if I’m stuck at home scrolling through Airbnb, because this goes with literally everyone I want to wear to the beach. Absolutely no regrets.

Butterfly Garden Glam

This design is a blend of absolute fantasy and toe fashion. The light pink color has a touch of whimsy that is met with sharp white lines and a delicate miniature butterfly. The design is fantasy inspired, intricate, and soft without feeling fussy. It evokes fairytale charm while not feeling overly youthful.

This design is suitable for both formal purposes, or simply uplifting your feet with a flairy sparkle.

Pink base – OPI’s “It’s a Girl” polish. White geometric curves are painted using a striping brush. For the butterfly, use nail decals or nail stamps, for advanced users, feel free to use gel paint and dotting tools.

Celebrity manicurist Brittney Boyce proves how effortless and stunning this design is. “Butterflies never leave the trend cycle. They’re symbolic and delicate—plus they’re so Instagrammable,” she says.

This beatuiful design can be wore during summer wedding and garden brunches. The butterfly is captivating and captures the energy of the summer giving a dreamy essence to the design.

Purple Florals on White Canvas

This design is a harmonious combination of texture and tone. What stands out is the lavender flowers that look as if they were embossed on a plain white background like porcelain. The surrounding toes daubed in solid purple hues complete the look. It is giving sophistication with a hint of whimsy. To be fair, it feels like spring merging with summer and landing on your soles.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Purple Florals on White Canvas

To achieve this look, get a white polish like Beetles Gel “Milk White” and a lavender one like Zoya’s “Abby.” Use builder gel and a thin brush for the 3D petal detail. Cure between layers for the raised petal effect.

It’s a touch harder to do yourself, but for nail art lovers, this technique is ideal and effortless. Nail artist Eri Ishizu explains, “Sculpted flowers always draw attention—they’re like mini sculptures for your nails.”

For me, this design works best when I’m feeling feminine, but still want something a bit grown up. Particularly when it is worn with light materials and floral printed dresses, it becomes breathtaking. It’s like going on a tranquil vacation in a vineyard.

Crystal Sandals With French Style

There is nothing as satisfying as a frost French tip, especially with some blinged out sandals and a nice tan to top it off. The timeless French nails focus on a pale pink base, white tips and edges which is perfectly balanced. This classic pedicure style does not need an explanation. It is clean and popular beyond limits.

2025 Summer Pedicure Ideas French Sandals

In this case, a simple set like Essie’s “Mademoiselle” and Blanc for the tips is perfect. For symmetry, guides can be used or the more natural approach of freehand painting with a fine brush can be used.

French style toenail art remains a staple in many summer beauty routines and for good reason. The French have never and will never fade. They may adapt in style, but will always be here. Deborah Lippmann assured us this with her expert words.

I, personally, love the feeling of setting these ‘rules’ every year. It’s like coming back home, like slipping into your all time favorite outfit that you can always rely on. A subtle statement that still tells the world you mean business.

Delicate Romance with a French Twist

French tip designs have left an imprint in history, but this one shifts focus towards the future with its captivating new version and touches of romanticism. The highlight is the big toe, which has swirls done by hand, a 3D rose that is pale pink in color, and tiny micro-rhinestones, all of which resemble dew on petals in the morning. The crisp white tips feel fresh, not stuffy, while the new milky pink base provides softness that reads both elegant and modern. This manicure is best for the lovers of art—whether going to the beach wedding or someone who prefers a beautiful finish on their feet.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Delicate Romance with a French Twist

It’s best to purchase a French manicure kit to achieve the milky pink look. The OPI Infinite Shine system has “Alpine Snow” for the tip and “Bubble Bath” or “Bare My Soul” for the base. The 3D rose can be made with gel-sculpting tools or added as a premade charm. Don’t forget to get some stick-on crystals for added sparkle.

Honestly, this one gives off “main character energy” in the softest way. It’s glam without being loud to the eye, subtle enough for everyday wear, but detailed enough to be a conversation starter. I’d wear this to a vineyard picnic or any summer event where you want to feel just a little extra—without trying too hard. You feel me?

Pearly Nude Shimmer for Understated Glow

For girls who lean simple, but still appreciate undertones, this shimmering polish in nude captures the effortless elegance summer 2025 has to offer. The neutral base also has a delicate lilac undertone which places it a step ahead, and that pearlized sheen? It hits just right in the sun—subtle, glowing, and classy. This one reminds me of linen dresses and glass sandals. Chic, low-maintenance, and never boring.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Pearly Nude Shimmer for Understated Glow

One of my suggested go to’s for this kind of finish is Essie’s “Gilded Goddess” or Zoya “Leigh” with a top coat of pearlescent chrome powder, I recommend Born Pretty Pearl Aurora. The secret is in using a buffer base and shaping the nails which, in my opinion, is best done with a square tip with softened corners to enhance that polished effect.

If you are a beginner when it comes to DIY pedicures, this one is nearly fail-proof. Simply apply two coats of shimmer polish and a topcoat, and off you go. It doesn’t get easier than that. This strategy is great for summer beach vacations, and even wedding season. I wore this at a friend’s garden party and to my surprise; I was showered with compliments for my toenails.

Playful Pastel Rainbow for Those with a Cheery Spirit

This vibrant color scheme reminiscent of summer is what it looks like it would be: edgy and totally fun. Every pool party this year is bound to be a hit with all the vibrant colors from mint green to cotton candy pink, and lilac to shimmer powder blue. With regard to polish, the soft glitter topping on the big toe creates a fairytale frosting-on-the-cake look which gives the design finesse without feeling childish. Surely, this lovely idea will get you endless compliments from everyone including your barista and pilates instructor.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Playful Pastel Rainbow for the Fun-Loving Soul

To achieve this look burst of color at home, get yourself a set of mini pastel gel polishes from Beetles Gel Polish or Modelones. Both have incredible kits. Don’t forget to put a sprinkle chrome or holo shimmer on one toe for an accent nail that steals the spotlight.

I sported a similar mix-match pedi last summer and it truly lifted my spirits every time I glanced at my feet. It’s the type of look that emanates Pinterest board vibesԓ those inspiring ideas that brighten people’s day. And for those of you with kids or nieces, they will definitely want to replicate it. It’s playful chic met with a sophisticated finish.

Cloud Blue Minimalism for a Serene Summer

This is rather unique and feels both on-trend and classic—blue, but soft and airy like a sky right before sunset. It comes in a clean, glossy shape that has no distractions, which is a hallmark of a dream design. The tint is just enough for it to stand out. This is one of those designs toenails that works when you’re going for understated cool. It works with neutral slides, white linen pants, or even denim cutoffs. It’s the kind of polish that will make your toes look stylish without drawing too much attention.


Cut Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Cloud Blue Minimalism for a Serene Summer

“I used Olive & June ‘Angelfish’ the last time I tried this color, and it wore beautifully for almost two weeks. The trick is a clean buff before application and sealing the edge of the nails for chip resistance. Finish with their Super Glossy Top Coat for that glass-like finish.”

Truth be told, I can absolutely support this shade as one of my all-time favorites when needing a toe-cabulary reset. Feels like diping my toes in a cerulean sea. So if you are feeling overscheduled and chaotic this summer, soft blue pedi may just transform into your grounding ritual. Go ahead, give it a shot and see if it works.

Balletcore Pink for Every Day Sweetness

Baby pink is trending like never before—and not just on nails. Balletcore is making waves in fashion and yes, it translates to toes as well. It’s one of those designs that feels so fresh and feminine without being fussy. If you live for neutrals but want something sweeter, this is your move.

Balletcore Pink for Everyday Sweetness Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025

Essie “Fiji” and OPI “Mod About You” are my personal favorites for this shade. Keep your cuticles clean, nail beds buffed, and gel top coat for that salon shine.

Best of all, it works with everything. Gold sandals, crisp sneakers or even barefooted on a picnic blanket, this pink will always make an appearance. It’s my go-to when I don’t want to think about what to wear but still want to look put together.

Summer Tropics and Neon Style Combined

Now this is bold. Id I had to guess, if this pedi was a song’s chorus, it would be an upbeat summer anthem – eye-catching, spirited, and impossible to ignore. The blending of hot pink and bright yellow accents is reminiscent of a tropical cocktail, this does not just look amazing, but feels amazing. It’s graphic in an increasing illustrative sense while remaining playful, yet simple. It feels like an attempt to achieve a Miami pool party style without going overboard.

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Neon Pop with a Tropical Twist

Make sure you get a set of neon gel polish such as Holo Taco’s “Electric Slide” set or Lights Lacquer “Summerland” because they shine in the sun. If you want an effortless curve for French tips, use vinyls for outlining with a detail liner brush. Always add a glossy top coat because it is the one that adds shine.

I told you this is a mood booster! Look down at your toes and make yourself smile. If you are looking for a straight to the point, easy, but elaborate design, you’re in luck because this primavera toes polish is just what you need – let your toes guide the way this summer.

Barbiecore & Matte Leopard

Now, let’s discuss sassy style. This one-piece pedi takes the two most popular and outlandish trends—leopard print and Barbie pink—and combines them into one stunning look. The matte touch updates the edgy soft style, and the fierce detailed animal print on the big toe is beautiful. Pedicures like these do not say, ‘Yes, I do follow the trends,’ but instead capture the essence of, ‘no, I’m afraid to say that I do have some fun with it.’

Cute Summer Toe Nails for 2025 Matte Leopard Meets Barbiecore

Like all things sleek, if you want to recreate this look, you will need Zoya Velvet Topcoat for the matte finish, OPI ‘Strawberry Margarita’ for the hot pink, and leopard base Essie ‘Wild’ in nude. For a polished finish, a fine dotting tool or leopard print stamping plate will be best, even if you’re not great at freehand.

If you ask me for my pieces, I would say this is something I’d wear to a summer music festival or a casual sunny brunch on a rooftop. I have a pair of frayed denim cut-off shorts that would match the vibe perfectly. This look is fun, bold, and sophisticated all at the same time—it truly embodies the right kind of wild.

Conclusion

The summer of 2025 is your chance to experiment with a variety of colors, textures, and aesthetics that suit your mood. Whether you want to show off your toes with pastel-colored polish or go for a more vibrant look, there is no wrong way to paint your nails this season.
