"If there’s one thing that should never be underestimated, it’s the power of a good manicure. There’s nothing that makes me feel more alive than a fresh new nail look that matches my current mood. The problem with that? Picking a nail color that perfectly captures what I’m going for is often easier said than done. That’s why I’ve decided to take the guesswork out, and instead, let the stars make my decision.
We’ve rounded up the fall manicure that each zodiac sign should get the next time they head to the salon. Whether you’re looking for a moody manicure to help celebrate your birthday month (happy Virgo season!) or you just want to eliminate the decision fatigue, these nail designs are destined to make you feel in your element. Here’s the fall manicure you should get next, based on your zodiac sign.
Aries
Spiced Burgundy
As a fire sign and the first sign of the zodiac, Aries need a nail color that’ll match their natural-born fierceness, and spiced burgundy checks all the boxes. Unlike a classic burgundy, this shade has hues of red, orange, and brown incorporated into it to create an intense, multi-dimensional nail look that reflects the inner ambitious and competitive nature of this sign.
Taurus
Olive Green
Tauruses are one of the most practical, mindful, and hardworking signs of the zodiac. Given their deep-rooted appreciation for the finer things in life, olive green is the perfect fall manicure from them. Not only does it show that they’re up on the current trends—which let’s be honest, they always are—but it also speaks to their innate stability and groundedness.
Gemini
Mustard Yellow
Geminis are undeniably one of the most entertaining zodiac signs. Because they’re naturally quick-witted, smart, curious, and social, they need a nail color that’ll speak to their playful nature. Enter: mustard yellow. The fun, cheerful color is a perfect transitional shade for their first post-summer mani, and is the perfect choice for the sign that’s notoriously indecisive.
Cancer
As a water sign that’s ruled by the moon, Cancers are naturally empathetic, emotional, and deep. This makes them exceptional caretakers who will drop anything to provide for and be there for their loved ones. Similar to how the ocean possesses a calming, tranquil energy, navy blue reflects a Cancer’s inner compassion and reliability, and is a no-brainer for their next fall manicure.
Leo
Bright Orange
If you’re a Leo, you need a nail color that matches your shining personality, and bright orange is an attention-grabbing shade that’ll earn all the compliments (not that Leos need any help with that—duh). While some people might shy away from such a bold choice, Leos will love the way it commands attention.
Virgo
Milk Chocolate
Virgos have a penchant for perfectionism and attention to detail, which can sometimes make them worriers and workaholics. Since they’re earth signs, milk chocolate nails will infuse Virgos with the grounding energy they need whenever they’re overthinking or stressing.
Libra
Ballet Pink
Represented by the scales of balance, Libras are constantly searching for harmony in their life. Since they’re ruled by Venus, the planet of love, art, and beauty, a ballet pink manicure is the ideal choice for them. It’s aesthetically pleasing, demure, and versatile, making it the perfect choice for the sign who values equilibrium.
Scorpio
Black
Despite being a water sign that’s emotionally intelligent and deep, Scorpios don’t openly express their feelings. While this can make it hard to know what they’re thinking, it also makes them incredibly alluring. Since the color black has a reputation for being seductive and mysterious, the color perfectly captures a Scorpio’s irresistible aura and charm.
Sagittarius
Metallic Purple
Sagittarians have restless spirits, a desire to know the world’s cultures and people, and larger-than-life personalities. Their perfect nail color is something as charming as they are: metallic purple. The color purple has long been associated with opulence and elegance, which speaks to Sagittarians natural-born ability to captivate whoever they come across, and the metallic finish will get people talking the only way a Sagittarius can.
Capricorn
Cool Gray
Beloved for their no-nonsense attitude, Capricorns value hard work and pragmatism, which is why a cool gray nail color is perfect for them. It’s neutral, minimal, functional, and professional—all of which speaks to Capricorn’s desire to move forward in life by sheer diligence and hard, steady work.
Aquarius
Silver
Those born under the sign of Aquarius are co-ruled by the planets of Uranus and Saturn, making them friendly, inventive, and tech-savvy. Because Aquarians are naturally science-minded, a silver nail color is perfect for them. The shimmery hue is futuristic and intergalactic, which matches their forward-thinking mind and ability to think larger than life.
Pisces
Light Blue Chrome
As a water sign and the last of the zodiac, Pisces are always torn between fantasy and reality. The good news? They can have the best of both worlds with a light blue chrome nails. The iridescent top coat emanates fantastical vibes, while the light blue base color reflects their imagination, sensitivity, and intuition.
