20 Playful Aries Nail Looks That Embody the Fiery Sign

Think bold colors like red, orange, and yellow.

Aries is a fire sign that's known for its fearless yet playful nature. It's associated with bold colors like red, orange, and yellow — so "flames are a great element for Aries nails," says celebrity manicurist Fleury Rose. For a less on-the-nose look, you can take those blazing colors and translate them into different designs. Alternatively, you can lean into statement-making designs in any color palette to speak to the signs' confident nature. Ahead, browse through 20 Aries nail looks to rock this season and beyond.
