December is here, which means one thing: we need to talk about this month’s pedicure trends. I know, it’s easy to forget about our feet at this time of the year as we bury them in boots and closed-toe shoes until spring. But, with party season in full swing, you might be looking for some December pedicure colours as we bring out our heels temporarily for the festivities. And I’ve done the research.

December is the month that the traditional winter pedicures get a little party season makeover. Of course, there are the classic pedicure colours that we see at this time of the year, but it’s also the time to try something a little different. Perhaps a chrome, a French pedicure or even a sparkly glitter pedicure? Anything goes this month.

However, if you’re in need of some inspo for your December pedicure appointment, look no further. I’ve rounded up the chicest pedicures I’ve saved that are chic yet suitably seasonal for all that December brings.

1. Garnet

Not quite brown, not quite red, garnet nails are a great choice for a December pedicure. They’re chic, wintery and suitable for the party season, but won’t look out of place come January.

2. Black Cherry

A black cherry pedicure just oozes sophistication and will see you through a month of festivities and Christmas parties. It’s a little deeper than a burgundy pedicure, leaning more towards a pinot noir nail colour that almost looks black at first glance.

3. Onyx

I immediately saved Kendall Jenner’s chic black pedicure, which is a timeless pedicure trend year-round, but is perfect to carry you through the month of December. The bonus of a black pedi? It will go with everything in your wardrobe.

4. Festive Red

When in doubt, wear red. And that applies to your pedicure colour, too. A red pedicure is forever timeless, but feels particularly festive for December as well. I love this glossy cranberry hue, which looks so expensive on your toes.

5. Spiced Plum

If you’re after something a little different that remains sophisticated, allow me to suggest spiced plum. This deep purple shade has a subtle shimmer that catches the light in the prettiest way. It gives a nod to the party season, without veering into glitter territory if that’s not your thing.
