What nail colors suit Scorpio?

Scorpio is a water sign ruled by Pluto and Mars. Scorpio is deep, passionate and a little mysterious, and the nails should say so. Dark shades fit Scorpio like a perfectly tailored black dress. In autumn, when Scorpio season begins, these colors are especially in style. Pairing matte and glossy finishes is Scorpio's favorite trick.

  • Black: the Scorpio classic, matte or glossy
  • Burgundy: the color of fine wine
  • Plum: dark and mysterious
  • Dark red: cherry-toned and passionate

What nail shape and length suit Scorpio?

Sharp shapes suit Scorpio. A medium or long almond works for every day and for the evening. If you really want to make an impression, try a stiletto. That is exactly what a scorpion's sting looks like. If work calls for short nails, a short almond is enough: the dark color does the rest.

Scorpio nail design ideas

Scorpio designs are all about contrast: dark and shiny, matte and glossy. Four ideas, from restrained to very bold.

  • Matte black with one glossy accent nail
  • Black French over a nude base
  • Burgundy cat-eye effect
  • Deep plum chrome with a tiny Scorpio glyph

When is the best time for a Scorpio manicure?

Folk tradition says to trim nails on a waxing moon for growth, and on a waning moon when you want the shape to last. Scorpio loves hidden signs, so this old belief will probably intrigue you. Our moon calendar shows today's phase.
