Like it or not, the reign of Leo is officially over—and in their place, the Virgos of the world are ready to shine from August 23rd to September 22nd.
While Leos are bold and love to be the center of attention, Virgos are known for their practicality and attention to detail. This earth sign is ruled by Mercury – the planet of communication – so these people absorb information and have a knack for organization.
Virgos are represented by the Virgo, which only further honors their innate wisdom. And when it comes to manicures, this member of the zodiac lets their practicality shine — so they tend to gravitate to classic polish shades (like glossy blacks or warm-toned neutrals) or timeless French tips. Being an earth sign, Virgos are also associated with cozy shades of brown, green and even gray or silver.
When it comes to nail art, Virgo Queen Sydney Sweeney has proven that chic turtleneck will always be a vibe. Given that the sign is celebrated at the beginning of autumn, other luxurious designs such as crocodile print or autumn flowers may also be on the cards.
Whether you have one or more Virgo placements in your astrological chart or simply want to embrace the sign’s season, here are 12 nail art ideas for inspo.
