A vivid teal big toenail with a cross-shaped accent on one foot, a pale background with cactus-like green motifs on the other: this playful pedicure shows why both feet do not have to match. The example is featured in BARON Shinjuku’s official gallery.
BARON Shinjuku is listed as a two-minute walk from Shinjuku Station’s West Exit, with all-private treatment rooms. Its reservation page offers foot-art options as well as reference-design consultations. If you want to enjoy colour and art on your toes during your time in Japan, this is a lively starting point.
One big toe celebrates colour, the other shows off the pattern
On the teal big toenail, a broad field of colour surrounds a brown-toned cross shape. On the other, bright green and teal cactus-like motifs stand against a pale base, with small white dots adding detail.
The two compositions give you different things to enjoy: a large colour area with one main motif, and a group of shapes against a lighter background. Teal appears as a base on one side and within the pattern on the other, connecting the pair without making them identical.
Which part would you love to keep?
If the vivid teal drew you in, say you want to preserve that broad colour area. If you prefer the cactus-like pattern, identify its pale background and green shapes. If you love both, ask to discuss different compositions on the two big toes.
The smaller toenails also have details, including pink-edged patterns, little motifs and gold-toned shine. Decide whether you want that variety too, or whether you would prefer the big toes to lead with simpler smaller nails. The simpler version would be an adaptation to discuss, not another completed example shown in this photo.
When you decide on the layout, specify your own right and left foot rather than relying only on the orientation of a reference image.
Bring the colour and foot-art idea to BARON Shinjuku
BARON Shinjuku welcomes reference-image consultations, and its official reservation page includes foot-art services. In an all-private-room setting, you can discuss the whole composition: not only the big-toe motifs, but how colourful you want the smaller nails to be.
Teal, green and pink can make your toes a place to enjoy a cheerful palette. Send a photo of your usual footwear along with your current toenails if you have concerns about where decoration might sit. The design image does not establish its exact height or how it will fit inside your shoes.
The Shinjuku foot-menu guide explains menu choices in Japanese. This gallery photo does not represent a fixed price or a particular set-price course. Specify how much art you want beyond the big toes and confirm the current booking options.
Finding the salon
The two-minute walking estimate starts at Shinjuku Station’s West Exit. Head to Shinjuku Daikan Plaza A, fifth floor, room 514. Check the building and route in the official reservation page’s access information; Shinjuku Station has several exits.
Start with the two details you like
I would like a foot-nail appointment at the Shinjuku salon. I like the teal big toe and the cactus-like pattern on the other big toe in this photo. I would like to enjoy both, with colourful details on the smaller nails too. I will send photos of my current toenails and usual shoes. Please confirm the suitable service, total cost including removal, and appointment time.
If you would rather keep the smaller nails simple, say so instead. A useful Japanese line is 「新宿店でフットを希望しています。左右で違う親指アートを相談したいです」—“I would like foot nails at the Shinjuku salon and want to discuss different big-toe art on each foot.” Confirm language arrangements if needed; English-speaking staff are not guaranteed.
Identical materials, decorations and results are not guaranteed. The reference helps explain what you want; the service and appointment still need confirmation.
Make both sides of your pedicure something to enjoy.
Send your photos through BARON’s official LINE and specify “Shinjuku foot nails”
