10 nude pedicure colors that go with literally everything in your closet

These chic and timeless shades are so versatile.

While a splashy aqua blue, bold crimson, or juicy tangerine hue looks good on your toes, we’d be kidding ourselves if we didn’t acknowledge that it can sometimes clash with your summer fits. The nude pedicure, on the other hand, matches with literally everything in your closet—your denim getup, that fluttery sundress, your swimsuit, officewear, and everything in between. 

“Nude pedicures actually work year-round, transitioning seamlessly from summer sandals to winter boots, unlike seasonal brights or pastels,” says Jacqueline Pham, celebrity manicurist for Color Street. She adds that it also ties in nicely to the “clean girl” aesthetic and minimalism that we’re seeing counter the maximalist movement right now. 

Love the idea of a nude pedicure? Here are some chic ideas to try.

Just Clear

This literal interpretation of the nude pedicure prioritizes clean cuts, buffed toenails, and a glossy layer or two of clear nail polish. It’s guaranteed to match with everything and is very clean girl aesthetic.

Sheer Creme

If you want just a bit more color, opt for an opaque milky polish that flatters your skin tone. This one leans slightly pinkish, but you could also opt for one that has more beige or golden undertones.

Classic French Pedi

A French pedicure will never go out of style, largely because it’s classy and matches with everything. Play with the width of the white tips; a micro French is a barely-there option, while a thicker tip captures more attention.

Nude Chrome

For a little nude pedicure zhuzh, add a sheer dusting of chrome on top. It’s enough to catch the light while still staying true to a minimalist vibe. You can also play with the color of the chrome topper.

Milky Pink

You can't go wrong with a milky pink pedicure, which leans a little bit girly while still feeling clean and simple. A super glossy topcoat makes all the difference.
