- Libras are lovers of all things beautiful and harmonious.
- When choosing a design for Libra season, consider symmetrical designs, dramatic finishes, and shades of pink.
- Explore 23 nail designs for Virgo season.
Artistic and charming Libra thrives when surrounded by harmony and beauty. Libras “are an air sign, but are also ruled by Venus,” astrologer Alyssa Polinsky previously shared with InStyle. This means they love thoughtful and artistic choices. “They’re the designers of the zodiac, eager to take any messy space and infuse it with beauty,” explains astrology writer Maressa Brown. “Similarly, they’re quick to turn any conflict on its head by pushing for harmony.”
So, for a manicure befitting the fair-minded air sign, keep an eye toward symmetry, drama, and lots of shine. For colors, Polinsky says that Libras love to wear pink. Pastel pinks, in particular, are perfect as they represent the sign’s graceful aura. Sapphire blue and opal are also great choices as they are the birthstones of Libras (depending on which month they’re born in).
Whether you're celebrating your special day or want to get in on the season's vibe, explore 20 Libra nail designs ahead.
