Beauty
Featuring oyster manicures and pretty pearl details.
On Feb. 18, the eccentric energy of Aquarius was officially replaced by the romance that is Pisces SZN, and the water sign will remain the star zodiac through March 20.
While Aquarians are beloved for their out-there, rebellious nature, Pisceans are very much associated with their endless creativity, ocean-deep capacity for emotion, and innate dreaminess.
It’s Officially Pisces Season
Pisces are a water sign depicted by two fish swimming in opposite directions, and they’re ruled by the ever-mystical planet of Neptune. The eldest — and because of it, wisest — sign in the zodiac, they are known to have psychic qualities, as well as a way of romanticizing life to the point of escapism.
A few famed Pisceans that embody the sign include Rihanna, Drew Barrymore, Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Bieber, and Millie Bobby Brown, as well as the fictitious Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City (who is *technically* a Libra, but certainly has a lot of Pisces placements in her chart).
The Sign’s Manicure Aesthetic
Dream-filled Pisceans are most attracted to vibrant nail polish colors like aquatic blue, seafoam green, soft pastel pink, and pretty shades of amethyst-inspired purple.
As for nail art, mermaidcore motifs — like seashell designs and pearl adornments — are an obvious choice for the water sign, though a Pisces will also appreciate other trendy manicures like spiritual aura nails and eye-catching pearlescent finishes.
