15 Virgo Nail Ideas for the Sensitive Perfectionists

The Gist

• Virgo season falls from August 23 to September 22.

• The earth sign is drawn to nature motifs, classic French tips, and lush shades of blue and green.

Virgos are known for their analytical, hardworking, and perfectionist nature. But they're also deeply passionate, thoughtful, and artistic. They're "an earth sign associated with cerebral thought, honing in on the details of life, a propensity to be of service to others, and a sensitive heart," astrology writer Maressa Brown previously shared with InStyle.

Although nailing down the true essence of this multifaceted earth sign can be tricky, there are many ways to convey its vibe through a picturesque manicure. First things first, earth tones are perfect for a Virgo manicure. Shades of green, blue, brown, and gold are the aura colors associated with the sign, but they are heavy on the blue and green, as peridot and sapphire are the birthstones of August and September Virgos, respectively.

Additionally, organic designs that harken back to nature or, on the flip side, are geometric and structured, are apt for this sign. Ahead, browse 15 stunning manicures to rock during Virgo season.
