12 Virgo Nail Designs To Embrace Your Earthy, Perfectionist Side

Virgo Season

All the nail designs your curious, perfectionist Virgo heart could desire.

Virgo season is officially upon us. And because Virgos are so organized and resourceful, one thing they like is feeling put together. There’s truly no better way to feel good about yourself than by having your nails done. Although you might typically go for a solid color — something easily attainable — there’s also a lot of Virgo nail designs out there that can be used to embrace the Virgo season. Brown, green and sapphire are all colors associated with Virgos for different reasons, as are autumnal colors.

Going from August 23 to September 22, the season is a time when “nature's abundance and fertility become ready for gathering and harvesting, lending to the earthy, tending, and organizational qualities of the Virgo archetype,” according to Astrology.com. Given the season is leading up to fall, when everyone will be going apple picking and carving pumpkins, the earthiness of this period makes a lot of sense.

Virgo season is also said to be a time to embrace getting out of your comfort zone. Some of these Virgo nail designs are a little bit more difficult, so trying them out at home could be a way to do that, or reach out to a local salon. If you’re looking to embrace Virgo season — whether you have a birthday during this time or you just want to celebrate change — try out any of these 12 Virgo nail designs.

If that’s the case, try out these oceanic blue nails from essie — they’ll remind you of all the great summer memories, and have you feeling positive as you enter a new year. They recommend you use a makeup sponge to blend the colors together, but if you don’t want to sacrifice the one you use on your face, try these makeup wedges from Ulta.
