Toenail art is staging a (slightly terrifying) comeback
Prepare for an uplift in feet selfies
There's something decidedly un-chic about feet, isn't there? Like, we love debuting a fresh pair of snazzy sandals but we're hardly photographing our feet as freely or frequently as we are if it's a new bag we've nabbed.
It's the same with nail art - paint a funky design onto our fingernails and we'll make our newly dressed-up talons a talking point with everyone we know. But toes?! We're hardly trying to bring attention to them, so a plain pale pink polish will generally do. The goal is for our feet to be nicely groomed but still fly under the radar...
Well, maybe not anymore. There's a new trend in town, and it's all about playing up your pedicure. Yes, the era of 'toenail art' isn't just coming; it's here. The Internet's most iconic nail artists are all devoted to 'the art pedi', and we have no doubt that it'll soon sweep salons everywhere.
So if you want to (fittingly) get on the front foot, we've found the coolest and kookiest toenail art designs on the Internet. It's time to learn your feet's best angles; you'll soon be snapping them avidly...

Delaney began her career in the Australian beauty media industry in 2015, landing amidst the glossy world of women’s lifestyle magazines (or more literally, in their beauty cupboards). Since then, she has gone on to write across a multitude of beloved Australian media brands, including OK!, NW, InStyle, and Harper’s BAZAAR. She’s covered every side of beauty content, from directing beauty editorial shoots to rounding up the best glossy serums for golden hour skin. Having spent nearly a decade immersed in the beauty realm, Delaney’s knowledge of beauty is as extensive as her collection of tinted lip oils (read: extremely extensive). Delaney is currently the Digital Managing Editor of BEAUTYcrew, and her beauty wisdom also appears across beautyheaven, ELLE and Marie Claire. She enjoys channelling her personal hobby (testing beauty products) into her professional work (talking about testing beauty products), and considers perfecting the art of a cat eye in a moving car her life’s greatest accomplishment.
