If you've been looking at your nails lately and feeling incredibly "meh" about the shade of polish you quickly slap on for the summer months, it's time for a change. But instead of browsing the manicure aisle at your local drugstore in search of something that speaks to you, why not look to the stars for some guidance? According to astrologer Lisa Stardust, each of the 12 zodiac signs has a signature color that they're drawn to because it brings them luck or expresses their nature. Aries, for example, is obsessed with red since it shows off their fiery vibes, while Cancer will want a more subdued shade of lilac to flaunt on their tootsies.
To help you get more celestial with the mani-pedi combo you pick this season, we've compiled a list of nail polish colors you'll love, based on your zodiac sign.
1. Aries

As an Aries, you see life purely in the shade vermillion. "The ram will be drawn to reds to show off their valor and courage," Stardust says. We recommend Chanel's brighter shade of Rouge Puissant for your fingernails paired with the deeper shade Pirate for your toes.
2. Taurus
ZOYA

Taurus, you want a bold pink all over, and for that reason, you should stick with the same color. "Bright neon pink will remind the bull to embrace their artistry," Stardust says. We like this shade by Zoya because it's slightly iridescent, matching your luxe style.
3. Gemini
Orly
Shop it! Orly Nail Lacquer in Glowstick for fingernails and toenails, $9.87; amazon.com
Since you're looking for a nail color you can see from space, we recommend sticking with one polish for both your fingernails and toenails, Gemini. "Neon yellow is a peppy color that will help this twin star communicate better," Stardust says. This Orly shade—appropriately named Glowstick—is so bright you will need shades.

Like Aries, your fire sign counterpart, you're looking for something that burns. But rather than a blue-red, why not try orange-red instead? "The lion will opt for an orange hue to show off their sunny vibe," Stardust explains. We like the red and orange combo of Essie's Geranium for your fingers and Clambake for your toes since they remind us of a summer campfire.
6. Virgo

9. Sagittarius
Sally Hansen

11. Aquarius
ZOYA
Shop it! Zoya Nail Polish in Trixie for fingernails and toenails, $10.00; amazon.com
You're one of a kind, Aquarius, and you want your nail polish to be the same. "A metallic silver will remind the water-bearer of their creative mind," Stardust explains. To not mismatch two glitzy shades, we think this ZOYA polish is perfect for both your fingers and toes.
12. Pisces
