The Fête: A Baby ShowerNever mind if the mom-to-be decides to reveal the baby’s sex. What should be revealed: toenails done up in pastel plaid—pink, blue and every gender-neutral color between. Shoes Betsey Johnson.

The Fête: PromLong gone are the days of puff-sleeve prom dresses and a stiff princess updo. Today’s prom-going girl is tuned into personal style, whether it’s a T-shirt-topped ball gown or a luxed-up tuxedo jacket and cigarette pants. What every teen can agree on: Details matter—including toes. Trick them out in chic fashion, like this goes-with-anything silver-to-gold-to-nude glitter gradient design. Shoes Aldo.

The Fête: Spring BreakSpring break signals many things: surf, sand, relaxation and more than a few cocktails. Let’s add one more all-important item to that list: killer toenail art! Whether she’s up all night shimmying on a banquet or doing the limbo on the beach, you’d better believe that her feet will be on display. Give her maximum pedicure exposure with negative space multi-hue chevrons that mix a beach-babe neutral with tropical brights. Sandals Steve Madden.

The Fête: A Garden PartyAs prim and proper as a garden party can be, there’s no reason to be straitlaced when it comes to the pedicure. Pile on dabs and dots of color atop a bold cobalt base for an abstract floral design that will look lively in the lush grass. Shoes Stuart Weitzman.

The Fête: A Bridal SoireeBridal clients feeling a bit boxed in when it comes to picking that perfect pedicure design? No matter her celebration—bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal, even the big day—a white moon over a base of a soft “something blue” topped with a simple line of silver striping tape is certain to make even her feet the center of attention. Shoes Nina Vinnie.
