Surprising Nail Colours for Your Star Sign
Pinks, reds, and neutral nail colours are often the most popular as they’re considered traditional nail shades. It’s all too easy to stick with classic pink or beige because they go with everything and complement your skin. After all, there are so many decisions to make in a day. Why mess with what works?
That said, patterns can be tricky to break, even when we want to. With this in mind, we’ve paired unexpected nail colours with your zodiac sign. Embrace all the parts of your star sign and find your new favourite colour!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
As the first sign in the zodiac, it’s fitting that Aries love to be number one! You love the thrill of competition and excel in the most challenging situations. Your boldness is only second to your ambitions. In other words, you love to get noticed! What better way to announce your presence than a blazing neon manicure? Lime Lite nail polish is so bright it glows under a black light!
On the other hand, a dazzling holographic manicure is also sure to draw attention. For an unexpected combo, pair Legacy nail polish’s green holographic with Maldives nail polish’s crystal jelly. The more holo, the better! Or use the serene blue of Reflection nail polish to find peace when you need to recharge.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Dim the lights, play some music, and light a candle to set the mood for the most sensual sign, Taurus. This earth sign prioritizes comfort and luxury, and you feel most at peace when being pampered. So how about adding a mani-pedi duo after your facial? Cicada nail polish shifts from pewter to green, then from pewter to brown, connecting you to the earth in a glitzy way.

Curiosity may be dangerous for a cat, but it’s how Geminis view the world. In fact, if a Gemini could clone themselves, they probably would. There are just too many wonderful things to explore, touch, and see. As social butterflies, Geminis are always on the move, whether on an adventure, chatting with friends, or trying new hobbies.
