10 Lovely Manicure Ideas For Pisces

As winter starts to wind down, we welcome a new season – both in weather and in astrology. Pisces, known for their dreamy and emotive outlook on life, will take the spotlight from 19 February to 20 March. 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 Pisces’ creative spirit? Let’s find out.

How To Tap Into The Pisces Aesthetic

Sitting in the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Pisces is the dreamer of the celestial family. This sign has a hugely creative imagination that lends itself to artistic pursuits, often keeping them grounded in emotional escapism and daydreams. But it’s this emotional depth that makes Pisces such a good person to have on your side; they are hopeless romantics, deeply empathetic friends and an intuitive teammate.

These traits also pop up in their personal style. A Pisces sees fashion as a chance to indulge their delight in all things romantic, fantasy and feminine. The same can also be said of their approach to their beauty routine. ‘Pisces will pick out nail designs that capture dreamy oceanic vibes, in reference to their being a water sign,’ adds manicurist and Mylee Senior Ambassador, Tinu Bello. ‘Think soft, aquatic colours like seafoam green, pastel blues, and shimmery iridescent shades that mimic the movement of water.’

Create The Look: Pisces Nails

While Pisces might be drawn to tradition – they’ll never say no to classic French tips or a simple pink mani – this us a sign that loves to let creativity take the reins. They like to let their mood guide their choices, so nail sets that channel emotive colours, details and textures will bring them onside.

Below, Tinu shares some of her top nail designs for Pisces:

Aquatic Add-Ons

Pisces are represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions. When it comes to a manicure, this can translate into small oceanic details like waves, shells or, of course, sea life. As Tinu suggests, ‘If you want a nail art design that’s right on the nose, opt for something like a little fish, mermaid scales or swirling watercolour effects that create an otherworldly appearance.’

Dainty Details

While grounded in water, Pisces is also considered a very spiritually attuned sign (they often like to explore elements of astrology or tarot). In their personal style, this can manifest into designs that mirror the sky. ‘I also recommend strong celestial elements like moons and stars or delicate, hand-painted waves,’ adds Tinu. ‘Glitter, pearls, or tiny star accents can really enhance the fantasy-like quality of this manicure.’

A Metallic Finish

And when it comes to colour and texture, Pisces will want to evoke the essence of water: cool, reflective and full of depth. ‘Gradient ombré styles that blend blues, purples, and pinks can work beautifully, teamed with a chrome or holographic finish,’ agrees Tinu.
