Whether you’re an energetic Aries or a playful Gemini, one of the most fun ways to show off your zodiac sign is with your nails. Not only are there certain trendy nail art designs that match each star sign’s unique vibes (Cancers, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried the glazed donut look; and Libras, don’t shy away from taking “coquette” embellishments out for a spin), but there are also specific nail shapes that might resonate with you, adding another layer of personalized style to your manicure.
“Your sun sign represents your core identity and can influence your general aesthetic preferences,” Michelle Bell, an astrologer and founder of the Cosmic Fusion app, has previously told Bustle. “For example, a Leo might gravitate toward bold, attention-grabbing manicures, while a Virgo may prefer a more clean, classic look.”
In terms of how this translates to the shape of your nails, it depends on the element associated with your sign. Earth signs, like Taureans and Capricorns, will likely opt for a more laidback shape, like the very-on-trend short nails with softly rounded tips. Fire signs, on the other hand, maybe more drawn to a shape that’s just as bold as they are, like ultra-sharp stiletto manis.
Whether you deeply relate to your sun sign or perhaps prefer to align your aesthetic with your Venus sign, scroll through to discover the ideal nail shape for every sign in the zodiac.
