Air sign season is upon us
Goodbye Capricorn season – it’s time for Aquarius to take the stage. Taking the spotlight from 20 January to 18 February, this star sign is all about creative exploration. And with a trip to the nail tech at the top of their birthday wish list, we can’t help but wonder: which mani best captures an Aquarius in all their glory? Let’s find out.
How To Tap Into The Aquarius Aesthetic
Sitting in the tenth sign of the zodiac, Aquarius is known for its creative an rebellious approach to life. This sign keen to carve out a path that explores their individuality – symbolised by Water, Aquarius are quick to go with the flow – but remain unbound by labels, leaving them free to find their voice at their own pace. Deeply introspective, their forward-thinking approach to life makes them excellent problem-solvers and collaborators.
These traits also pop up in their personal style. An Aquarius sees fashion as a wearable art, and will often seek out experimental designs that reflect their personality. The same can also be said of their approach to their beauty routine. ‘Aquarius will opt for nail designs that embody their ethereal and unconventional energy,’ adds manicurist and Mylee Senior Ambassador, Tinu Bello. ‘These nails can range from minimalist and elegant to bold and eccentric, reflecting both the artistic creativity and individuality this air sign is known for.’

Create The Look: Aquarius Nails
Being the most experimental star sign, Aquarius isn’t intimidated by a blank canvas. They are both minimalists and maximalists (depending on the day), and thrive under a creative vision. Don’t be afraid to try new things with this sign – they’ll rise to the challenge.
Below, Tinu shares some of her top nail designs for Aquarius:
Shades Of Blue
Despite being an air sign, Aquarius is known as the Water Bearer – which means they’re naturally drawn to shades associated with sea and sky. As Tinu notes, ‘Designs typically incorporate shades of aquamarine, turquoise and deep blue to reflect Aquarius’s association with water and the celestial skies.’
Shimmering Finishes
But it wouldn’t be a set of Aquarius nails if the fun stops at a colourful base. ‘Opt for iridescent finishes, holographic effects (particularly those that combine holographic glitter and aqua blue tones),’ recommends Tinu. ‘Shimmering glitter can also be used to mimic the look of flowing water or starlit galaxies.’

Classy Metallics
And for an extra touch of class? ‘To elevate the design further, accents like silver or gold foil, rhinestones or metallic elements might be added,’ suggests Tinu. ‘These symbolise Aquarius’s innovative and forward-thinking personality.’
Personalised Details
Bespoke touches are also a surefire way to win the heart of an Aquarius – and they love leaning into the traits of their star sign. ‘For a more personalised touch, try some Aquarius themed nail art,’ adds Tinu. ‘This might feature zodiac symbols, constellations, or even abstract wave-like patterns that evoke the free-spirited and imaginative nature of Aquarians. This could include motifs like the Aquarius glyph (♒), water bearers or cosmic details like moons and stars.’
