Our manicures are a good reflection of our mood, but they’re a pretty revealing indicator of our personalities, too. Think of the designs you’re naturally drawn to. Maximalism, color-clash, loud brights? Or minimalism, neutrals, and simple accents? One way to hone in on the designs best suited to you is through your horoscope. Each star sign can highlight different dominant traits. Wondering where yours will take you? Scroll down…
