Nail art is one of the best ways to express yourself and update your look every season. Still, there are almost too many styles to choose from. So what better way to find out which nail art embodies your vibe than to find the one that best aligns with your zodiac sign? From frills to doodles, here are the best manicure picks for each zodiac sign.
1. Aries: touch of color
An Aries is bold, adventurous, and full of spirit. That charismatic personality demands something that stands out from the crowd instead of going unnoticed. Consider a deep red or eclectic design with different pops of color on each finger.
2. Taurus: flecked with gold
A Taurus is grounded and rational, but still romantic at times. For this reason, mottled gold is the ultimate choice. It’s classic and still slightly neutral, with a slight scattering of glitter that goes with everything. You can go for a bright light shade or a layer of gold sparkles over another nail polish color.
3. Gemini: Rainbow Tips in French
This sign is whimsical and flirty, but full rainbow nails can be too lively. Instead, consider a rainbow nail art with some negative space snips, or our personal favorite: rainbow French tips. They keep things interesting and combine vibrant and minimal vibes for a foolproof look all year long.
4. Cancer: cakes
Often the gentle spirits, tranquility, and whimsy associated with soft pastels are perfect for a Cancer. They’re known for their engaging and thoughtful personalities, and the warm, approachable shades of these pastels can help represent that in your manicure or pedicure.
5. Leo: Metallic
A manicure full of glitz and glam is a must for fierce Leos. Dazzle your onlookers with mirror-like metallic nail art in any metallic shade you prefer, be it rose gold, bronze or silver. This look is not for the faint of heart and she will exude confidence, just like you.
6. Virgo: neutral/muted tones
Pragmatic Virgos never go overboard with their manicure choices, and neutrals are always a safe bet. If you find this too boring, consider pairing patterns with these neutral tones. Think taupe, olive green and creams for a look that rocks all year long. You can also opt for French tips in these neutral shades.
7. Libra: Ombré
Often hailed as natural peacemakers, Libras will love this balanced design that shows off a gradient. It can be chosen with any color and can help act as a daily balance reminder, telling you to stay relaxed and not to push yourself too hard. It’s elegant, simple, and just the right amount of fun.
8. Scorpio: matte black
Although Scorpio is technically a water sign, they are known for their passionate side. If you don’t want to remind people of your private soft side, show your armor to the world with a bold matte black manicure. If black is too dark for your taste, a matte brown or army green shade will also have the same dramatic yet elevated effect.
9. Sagittarius: Animal Print
A classic Sagittarius is bold and free-spirited, and isn’t afraid to try new things. While animal print can be worn on certain items of clothing, it’s still all the rage in the manicure world. Animal print claws are this season’s new take on flowers, so flaunt that adventurous soul with an alligator print or any other animal-inspired look you desire.
10. Capricorn: cut-out details
Loyal to a fault, practical, and stubborn, Cappies are dedicated to considering their options before making a decision. Although they may stick to the same classic manicure picks, they’ll still want a bit of flair. That’s why a timeless shade like Merlot or pastel pink paired with nude cutout details at the top of the nail or cuticle is the best option.

11. Aquarium: Impression of sky and clouds
These intelligent air signs are independent and move at their own pace, so what’s better than a dreamy sky and clouds design in light blues and whites? With a creative heart, Aquarius deserves a memorable manicure that does it justice. They are also known as the sky-flying water carriers of the zodiac, so this style fits the bill perfectly.
12. Pisces: Imitation Pearl Embellishments
Embellishments never tire of, and faux pearls are one of the most timeless ways to express it in a mani. A quick way to spruce up a dull color, pearl embellishments are appropriate since one of Pisces’ planetary rulers is Neptune, who rules over the sea. Even if they are fake, they represent a precious gem that is made in the water by creatures that live in the water.
