What nail colors suit Leo?

Leo is a fire sign ruled by the Sun itself. Being the center of attention is just a normal day for you, and your nails should say so. For Leo, gold is not a color, it is a personality. If work calls for something quieter, choose warm amber: it glows without shouting.

  • Gold: in chrome, foil or glitter
  • Amber: a warm, honey-colored glow
  • Orange: as bright as the summer sun
  • Leopard print: it is a big cat, after all
  • Deep red: for a night out

What nail shape and length suit Leo?

Leo is not afraid of length. A long almond or coffin shape gives your hands a dramatic, luxurious look, exactly the kind Leo loves. If you prefer shorter nails day to day, go for a medium almond and make up for the length with shine. Just keep the shape identical on every finger: Leo's hands are always on stage.

Leo nail design ideas

Leo designs follow one rule: wherever shine is possible, add shine. Just keep it tasteful so it looks luxe, not cheap. And for your birthday, a national holiday as far as Leo is concerned, you can have it all at once.

  • Nude with a gold micro French
  • Amber cat-eye effect
  • Gold chrome on every nail
  • Leopard print with a few rhinestones on one nail

When should I get a manicure by the moon?

Tradition says: trim on a waxing moon for length, on a waning moon to keep the shape. A Leo dreaming of long nails will probably pick the waxing moon. It is folk belief, not a guarantee. Our moon calendar shows today's phase.
