Less Is More With Spring 2024 Pedicure Trends

It's that time of year again when the first signs of spring finally break the lull of a seemingly never-ending winter. As nature shakes off the icy remnants of the previous season, the longer days finally bring us a step closer to sunny spring weather. All the nail salon regulars know what this means: It's time to schedule that long-overdue pedicure to ensure your soles are baby-soft and your cuticles are neat before pulling out the sandals. For the spring of 2024, look forward to classic seasonal shades, including white and pink, but with a focus on sorbet pastels, natural nails, and minimal designs.

What's more, the go-to trend of the season calls for a test of loyalty to a single pastel polish. As opposed to the more mercurial pedicure habits of the past, expect to see more people wearing one signature shade or design. "This spring, I've been seeing clients wanting their pedicures to showcase a pop of color," celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann tells Bustle. "I have also noticed many picking a specific color that suits them and sticking with that same shade throughout the season." There is much to look forward to this season, so prepare for your upcoming pedicure with these spring-inspired shades. 

Step out of your shell this spring with a solid baby blue. Or, consider a more unique shade of blue, such as robin egg or a more blue-gray hue. "Many tend to be more playful with their pedicures, and I think we will be seeing an unexpected increase in blues during the warmer months," Deborah Lippmann shares with Bustle. "Pastel blue is the perfect addition to your toes."

When it comes to white nails, you either love 'em or hate 'em. However, even the haters must admit that they leave a bold impression. White nails are an undeniably common request at the nail salon once spring rolls around, so take advantage of the minimal-centric trend of the season while you can. Look for a bright white or perhaps experiment with a milky off-white shade to mix it up.
