Gemini is known as a curious, clever, and friendly sign that shines a bright light. Latin for "twins," Gemini is also known for having two distinctive sides. So fun nail designs that embody that fun, dual-sided energy are perfect.

"Since Geminis are twins and are sometimes said to have two personalities, having a different design on each hand would really reflect this," says celebrity manicurist Fleury Rose. Yellow manicures are also apt, as the sunny color represents the sign's aura.

Whether you're a Gemini or want to channel the air sign's energy this season, find 30 Gemini nail ideas below.
