8 Nail Colors to Try This Virgo Season

The end of summer always brings a bold new energy—and no, I’m not talking about the arrival of fall. As August fades into September, it marks the beginning of Virgo season. Virgos are known for being strong and having an innate sense of style, adding to their powerful presence. When it comes to manicures, Virgo season is one of the best for embracing nail trends and making them your own. Yes, they work hard, but they play hard too, and the best Virgo nail colors have a similar sentiment.

They’re creative, with just the right amount of drama to captivate a crowd, yet they can be (very) demure when the time calls for it. Need more proof? Just look at famous Virgos like Beyoncé, Zendaya, Salma Hayek and Blake Lively, who are just a few of the many powerful women with the zodiac sign. Ahead, we’ve gathered the best polishes to help channel your inner Virgo. Find your favorite Virgo nail colors and bookmark them for a season full of main character manicures.
