Without a Doubt, These 5 Party Pedicure Colours Always Look Classy
How is it almost December already? I know everyone says it, but I really can't believe how quickly this year has gone. Suddenly, I've got a flurry of Christmas party invitations, and between choosing what to wear and what presents to bring, I'm feeling a little bit stressed. However, one thing I don't have to be stressed about is my pedicure. This year, I decided I'd be much better prepared when it came to my beauty appointments, as I knew that when the festive season rolled around, it would be time to dust off my sparkly heels and get the toes out. I've already got my pedicure booked for next week, so all that's left to do is choose the right colour.
I don't know about you, but I never really know what to go for around this time of year. Sure, there are plenty of glittery, festive-themed colours out there, but I always prefer something a little more pared-back to add a chic finishing touch to my look. After spending hours scrolling on Instagram, I've come up with a solid list of party pedicure colours that I believe are fun and sophisticated at the same time.
So, if you've also started prepping for a busy month ahead, keep on scrolling and use my guide to the best party pedicure colours as an easy point of reference for your appointment.
5 Classy Pedicure Colours to Try This Party Season
1. Rich Burgundy
First up is this gorgeous rich burgundy shade. I think this colour makes your pedicure look so expensive, and it's the perfect tone to go with other wintery shades.
Whenever I wear this shade I tend to opt for a high-shine, glossy finish to help make it pop a little bit more.
Shop the Colour:
Chanel really has created the perfect burgundy nail polish.
If you prefer a burgundy colour with hints of red, Essie has you covered.
Nailberry polishes are great, as the oxygenated formula is a lot kinder to your nails. I love this shade for winter.
2. Electric Blue
If you want to make a little bit more of a statement this season, I'm currently obsessed with electric blue nails. If you have a bright, colourful outfit to wear, this is definitely the pedicure to go for.
Shop the Colour:
This shade will definitely earn you lots of compliments.

If you want something a little more subtle, a deeper navy blue should do the trick.
3. Bright Red
You didn't think I'd do a festive pedicure roundup without including classic red, did you? You simply cannot go wrong with this timeless colour.
What I love most about this colour is that it works any time of year, so you don't have to worry about switching your pedicure up when January rolls around.
Shop the Colour:
The perfect red shade (and affordable too)!

I'll be wearing this on Christmas Day.
4. Naked Nails
For those of you who prefer a minimal approach to your nails, say hello to the naked nail trend. I've seen everyone opting for more natural manicures lately, really focusing on keeping their nails looking neat and healthy, and you can totally embrace more natural pedicures too.
Shop the Colour:
Apply a hydrating oil to keep those cuticles cared for. This is the secret to truly healthy looking nails.
This foot cream gently exfoliates to leave your skin looking and feeling silky soft.
5. Classic Black
If I'm ever stuck on what to go for, I opt for a classic black shade. Not only does this colour go with every single thing in my wardrobe, but it looks super elevated and chic.
Shop the Colour:
This quick-drying nail polish will have you party-ready in no time.
I love a shiny finish, so I'll be giving this OPI colour a go.
