This season is all about sophisticated neutrals
Then end of the year is fast approaching – but while we celebrate the arrival of Christmas and New Year, we can’t forget our favourite Capricorns this season. Taking the spotlight from 22 December to 19 January, this star sign is all about sophisticated practicality. 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 a Capricorn in all their glory? Let’s find out.
How To Tap Into The Capricorn Aesthetic
Sitting in the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn is known for its ambitious (yet disciplined) outlook on life. While this sign has a tough exterior – represented by the Goat, Capricorn can be pretty stubborn – they’re also incredibly sensitive to the world around them, and are very supportive of the people they care about. Their relentless work ethic, both personal and professional, makes Capricorn an ideal person to have on your team. They’ll quickly take up the role of the reliable friend.
These traits also pop up in their personal style. A Capricorn typically favours timeless styles rather than trends, sticking to classic investment pieces that will give them a polished appearance. The same can also be said of their approach to their beauty routine. ‘Capricorn nails are inspired by the traits and aesthetic associated with the aforementioned star sign, especially their sophistication, ambition and practical nature,’ adds manicurist and Mylee Senior Ambassador, Tinu Bello. ‘These nail designs often reflect Capricorn’s earthy, grounded energy, featuring neutral tones, earthy greens, deep browns or sleek black shades. The look leans toward minimalist yet luxurious styles, combining practicality with elegance.’

Create The Look: Capricorn Nails
Remember the classics. A Capricorn will want to dial back any bold, out-there nail art – instead, they’ll be drawn to something timeless and wearable. This sign is a minimalist, and while they’ll be happy to play with stars and constellations, it will very much be on their terms. Think calming hues, dainty details and a design that works for all occasions (not just their birthday).
Below, Tinu shares some of her top nail designs for Capricorn:
Statement Neutrals
This earth sign loves their neutrals. ‘Capricorn-inspired nail designs embrace neutral and earthy tones,’ confirms Tinu. ‘Think taupe, grey, forest green and black. These reflect the sign’s grounding connection to the earth element.’
Classic Silhouettes
They’ll also prefer sticking to more classic nail shapes, that they feel comfortable wearing both at home and work. ‘Sleek and structured shapes, such as almond or square nails, mirror Capricorn’s polished and professional demeanour,’ notes Tinu.

Micro Metallics
But that’s not to say Capricorn nails are limited to just classics and neutrals. They like a bit of sparkle just as much as the next sign. ‘This sign’s manicure style incorporates understated glamour with subtle metallic stripes, glitter or gold detailing,’ confirms Tinu. ‘This perfectly aligns with Capricorn’s refined taste.’
Finishing Touches
Capricorn is a sucker for details – especially when it comes to their mani. This makes it all the more important to nail those finishing touches. ‘Adding dimension through matte finishes with glossy accents or marble patterns further echoes the layered and complex nature of this zodiac sign,’ highlights Tinu.
