The new nail design you should try, according to your star sign

Whether you live and breath by your horoscope or think the whole things daft, one thing’s for certain: Star signs are bloody fun. Because really, what’s better than having a complete stranger tell you all about yourself, down to the tiniest detail? From your love life, to your career goals and navigating tricky friendship situations, the stars are always there to help point you in the right direction (should you seek it). 

And while it may not be on quite the same serious-ness level, your horoscope can help you make beauty decisions too. We’ve already told you which fragrance is best suited to your star sign (Leo’s, we’re jealous), but choosing a manicure, whether you’re after colour or design, can be one of the most overwhelming choices of all.

So to help you out, we consulted the universe and came up with the most on-trend nail designs to suit your star sign…

RELATED: Nail art ideas: 14 easy and on-trend nail designs to try


Aries

Traits: Bold, ambitious, passionate, motivated, confident, determined, impatient. 

Nail trend: The neon trend was made for the bold and confident Aries. Not ones to shy away from the spotlight, an eye-catching nail colour that reflects their optimistic nature is always going to be a hit. Their characteristic impatience makes intricate nail designs a no-go, so the time-saving simplicity of neon for the restless Aries is a winner.

Taurus

Traits: Steadfast, loyal, reliable, consistent, stubborn. 

Nail trend: The stubborn and consistent nature of Taurus’ means that experimenting with new trends is not traditionally their thing. A lover of the classics, a French manicure is right up their alley, making a reverse French manicure the best of both worlds: Staying within their comfort zone and getting a style update.

Gemini

Traits: Playful, curious, social, creative, friendly, inattentive. 

Nail trend: This bright and colourful nail art reflects the Gemini’s fun-loving spirit. Known for the way they can work a room, this social butterfly needs nails to reflect her popularity status.

Cancer

Traits: Intuitive, sensitive, gentle, maternal, caring, emotional

Nail trend: Cancers are known to wear their hearts on their sleeve, and now they can wear them on their nails too. Always the ‘mum’ of the group, Cancers are caring and sensitive souls who only want the best for their loved ones. This half-dark, half-light nail art reflects the tough-to-crack exterior Cancers are known for, but once they let you in, they’re the mushiest friend you have.

Leo

Traits: High-spirited, creative, romantic, dramatic, loyal.

Nail trend: While peridot is the official Leo birthstone – it should be glitter. Always the star of the show, Leo’s need a nail trend that reflects their rambunctious, infectious energy. But Leo’s don’t follow trends, they start them – so don’t expect to see them rocking the same mani for long!

Virgo

Traits: Logical, practical, perfectionist, consistent, helpful. 

Nail trend: This trend is nicknamed ‘baby boomer nails’, because of its old school roots. Virgos are a consistent bunch, and they tend to have an ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ approach to style. They’re also huge perfectionists, and this style is hard to get wrong. They’re known for their harsh practicality, so spending hours in the salon getting a detailed artwork put on their nails isn’t really their style.

Libra

Traits: Balanced, harmonious, innovative, charming.

Nail trend: Libras aren’t afraid to try something new, but they are sticklers for symmetry – making this bright but balanced manicure ideal. Renowned for their grace and charm, these hot pink nails are just about ideal for the meticulous eye of the Libra woman.

Scorpio

Traits: Intuitive, strategic, patient, seductive, enigmatic. 

Nail trend: Scorpios are Slytherins to a tee: Pragmatic, strategic and ambitious. Planning is their second nature, and they always tend to be two-steps ahead of the pack. Quick thinking and intuitive, these nails embody the Scorpio spirit in a more astute way. Think Taylor Swift Reputation-era.

Sagittarius

Traits: Smart, curious, adventurous, funny, witty, blunt. 

Nail trend: Most likely to try an experimental nail, this pearl mani is perfect for a Sagittarius. The faux pearls reflect their glittering intellect and the short nail indicates bluntness. Always up for a laugh, a true Sagi is used to being the center of attention – so who better to rock such a glam mani?

Capricorn

Traits: Ambitious, hard-working, focused, workaholic.   

Nail trend: The ambitious Capricorn doesn’t have time to sit around thinking about her manicure – she’s got work to do. Not wanting to be left behind in the style stakes, however, this look is perfect for the gal who wants to look fashion-forward without having to give it a second thought.

Aquarius

Traits: Rebellious, empathetic, compassionate, stubborn. 

Nail trend: A rebel at heart, the Aquarius gal can’t follow a trend without making it her own. A cool spin on rainbow nail, this negative space take has the Aquarius stubbornness written all over it.

Pisces

Traits: Daydreamer, sensitive, imaginative, creative, optimistic, kind. 

Nail trend: These nails capture the Pisces free-spirited and whimsical nature perfectly. Always the most imaginative and optimistic person in the room, a Pisces is the kind of person who doesn’t mind spending hours perfecting her nail art if her creative vision is perfectly executed.
