1. pedicure; toenail polish; toenail care
Cosmetic treatment of the toenails, including filing, polishing, and decorating. In Japanese usage, often refers specifically to toenail polish or nail art applied to the toes, rather than the full foot-care treatment.

From English/French "pedicure." In Japanese, ペディキュア can refer to either the nail polish itself (the product applied to toenails) or the service of having one's toenails done at a salon.

In casual Japanese, ペディ is sometimes used as a shortened form.
