Neon Pedicures Are The Bright Nail Trend Hot For Summer 2024

Let's be honest, one of the best ways to get in the mood for summer is to treat yourself to a super cute and bright pedicure. Deciding what to get can be tricky, though. While there's usually plenty of inspo online for what we should be rocking on our fingernails for the sunny season, we don't often see the same for our toes. Sure, you could play it safe and keep things neutral. But if you really want to have some fun for summer 2024, it's time to embrace neon.

Neon pedicures are in for the summer in a big way, with a Dayglo orange in particular being a massive trend. However, we're also seeing the likes of neon green (thanks to the popularity of Charli xcx's "brat" album) make the rounds on social media, too. But while, of course, you can simply paint on your favorite glowy shade all over each nail, there's more than one way to get that super hot neon look.

Who said all 10 of your toenails had to match? Neon summer nails are all about having fun, so there are no rules when it comes to this nail trend. Bring a little excitement into your pedicure by alternating different colors, like green and hot pink, on each nail to inject some extra excitement into the vibrant style. How many colors you combine is totally up to you, but having a few different neon shades on each foot is sure to grab attention in the sunshine!

Love a French manicure on your toes? Then there's a way to incorporate that into the neon trend. Instead of coating your toenails in the eye-catching neon nail polish of your choice, only apply it to the tips. That way, you'll get a hint of the intense shade, but your pedicure will still be that little bit more understated. A look like this is perfect for those who want to give the look a go but on a slightly smaller scale.

For those who like their toenails to look a little more over the top, try adding some sparkle to your neon pedicure. You could try a glitter polish or a shattered foil effect for a chunkier look. For an extra dose of sparkle, place some gold glitter all over your bright neon pedi. For a gradient-like effect that's a bit more dialed-down, apply your sparkles to just the base of the nail or the tip.

Another way to put your own twist on the neon pedicure trend for summer 2024 is to try a different neon lacquer on each foot. There are countless options here. You could have bright orange, the hot color of the moment, with bright yellow on one foot. Or, you could go for something even more out there with neon green and neon pink. You can even take things one step further by trying different designs on each toe; we recommend a neon French tip for the big toe, and solid color for the others.

Nothing quite says glamour like a little extra texture on your nails, so why not add some texture to your neon pedi to really make some noise? There are so many ways you can do this, so it's time to get creative. To add to the neon vibe try rhinestones or pearls in the same color as your polish, or try adding extra shine with classic versions of the nail accessories. Want to really go all out? Then combine this look with the 3D nail charms we've seen back on trend this year.
