Astrology has officially entered the manicure chat. In 2026, the biggest nail trend isn’t a finish or a shape, it’s personalization–and nothing could get more personal than your zodiac sign. To pull a power move this year, let astrology be your ultimate guide! Each sign carries a distinct energy, and when paired with the right nail color, the result instantly amplifies your personality. Here’s your cheat sheet written in the stars containing the best manicure color for all astrological signs. • Aries Dates: Mar 21 - Apr 19Best, Power Color: Red (passion, energy, and courage) Red feels natural on Aries. It matches their pace in life and tendency to go all in–the kind of shade that keeps up with them, not the other way around. This fire sign shade radiates three Aries essentials: energy, passion, and fearlessness. For your nails, lean towards modern and bold reds, like the rich garnet shade of LB Powder - LB087 Remarkable and the deep blood-red Dip & Dap Powder - DD238 Scarlet Letter. • Taurus Dates: Apr 20 - May 20Best, Power Color: Green (grounding, growth, and calm) If you have deep love for balance, beauty, and things that last, you’re most likely a Taurus. This earth sign suits green because of its connection to nature, groundedness, and stability. Forest and camo green shades, such as Dip & Dap Powder - DD126 Pine Green and Dip & Dap Powder - DD318 I'm Turtley Awesome, mirror the lushness of spring, capturing their calm confidence and comfort-seeking personality. • Gemini Dates: May 21 - Jun 20Best, Power Color: Yellow (joy, communication, and intellect) A color that sparks joy and conversation.
