20 Cool and Earthy Manicures for Virgo Season

Virgos are known for their analytical, hardworking, and perfectionist nature. But they're also deeply passionate, thoughtful, and artistic. 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, as sapphire is the birthstone of most Virgos. Additionally, designs that harken back to nature or, on the flip side, are geometric are apt for this sign. Ahead, browse 20 stunning manicures to rock during Virgo season.
