The Best Winter Nail Polish Shade, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Let Your Zodiac Sign Match You to the Best Winter Nail Polish Shade For Your Personality
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Even though we can fully appreciate someone having a signature nail polish shade, we're big advocates for switching things up every once in a while. After all, outside of makeup, your nails are one of the easiest ways to express yourself, and you can change them weekly or even daily if you're feeling so inclined.
As we prepare for the upcoming season, we're shopping for all things winter-inspired, including new nail polish shades. (Because I think we can all agree that the same soft pink colour that you wore the last six months gets old after a while.) But with so many colours to choose from, we like to leave our mani fate to the stars and choose a new shade based on our zodiac sign.
Find the best winter nail polish shade for each zodiac sign, from metallic golds to cosy browns, ahead.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Black Nail Polish
Black nail polish is polished, practical, and bold — just like Capricorns. You're not one to chase trends or jump on the latest buzzy nail polish colour. Instead, you prefer sticking with a timeless colour that goes with everything, like the Orly Diamond Potential Nail Polish ($10)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Icy Blue Nail Polish
A cool-toned, light nail polish shade best matches the personable and friendly Aquarius. The Olive & June BP Nail Polish ($8) is an icy white-blue colour that will bring you some inner peace.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Soft Neutral Nail Polish
Pisces tend to have a concealed sensitive and romantic side. A soft, neutral colour like the Deborah Lippmann Modern Love Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish ($20) will fit your winter style best.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Deep Red Nail Polish
The Essie Gel Couture Spiked With Style Nail Polish ($12) is a stand-out winter nail polish colour that matches the passionate, vibrant personality of an Aries.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Brown Nail Polish
Tauruses tend to be loyal, strong-willed, warmhearted, and sophisticated. A cosy brown colour, like the J.Hannah Jewellery Carob Nail Polish ($19), is your perfect winter nail polish match.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Forest Green Nail Polish
Geminis are lively and funky in the best ways. A dull nail polish shade would just mute your bright personality. Instead, try a vibrant emerald green like the Orosa Seat 103 Nail Polish ($12).
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Deep Blue Nail Polish
Cancers are known for being the most romantic, caring, and sensitive signs out there. We can't think of a better match for you than a deep blue like the Nails.Inc Plant Power Spiritual Gangster Nail Polish ($10).
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Gold Nail Polish
No other sign enjoys the centre of attention quite like a Leo. Your winter nail polish shade has to make a statement. Try the Nailtopia Plant-Based Liquid Gold Nail Lacquer ($10).
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Gray Nail Polish
Virgos tend to be a bit more modest and shy, especially in their style. You want a practical nail polish colour that won't clash with your outfit or mood on a daily basis. Your perfect match is a soft shimmery grey, like the OPI Suzi Talks With Her Hands Infinite Shine ($13).
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Deep Purple Nail Polish
A deep purple hue like the Mischo Beauty Lacquer of Love ($20) fits a Libra personality best. It's charming and romantic, which are two of your best traits.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): White Nail Polish
On the outside, you come off as chill and easy-going but on the inside, you're also very intuitive and passionate. A crisp white colour like the Cote No. 2 Nail Polish ($18) will make you feel most like yourself.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Glitter Nail Polish
Your imagination and free-spirit are what people love most about you. A glittery nail polish, like the Sally Hansen Shooting Star Insta-Dri Nail Colour ($5), fits your fun-loving personality.
