I think you might have that question slightly turned around. The pressure on your nose is less than on your toes. Air pressure comes from the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on you. The higher something is, the less air there is above it, and the less pressure there is. Because your toes are lower than your nose, there is more air above it pressing down.

What happens to a plane's air speed when the nose drops slightly?

When the nose drops slightly, the plane's air speed typically increases because the change in pitch causes the aircraft to descend slightly. As the aircraft descends, it gains potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy, leading to an increase in air speed. Pilots use this technique to accelerate or descend quickly if needed.
