Nail Color Ideas for August: What are the Trendiest Nail Polish Shades?
The month of August (or the month of Leos) is all about being bright, bold and present! Neon orange continues to be a crowd favorite, however, it’s making space for a few other shades. Experts predict that the most popular colors this upcoming month will be:
- watermelon red
- raspberry purple
- magenta
- lemon yellow
Leo Season Nail Ideas Fit for a Royalty
Leos are ruled by the Sun. That means they have this organic star-like appearance that never goes unnoticed in the crowd! The Leo aesthetic is bold, they like to make their presence known. They not only know how to attract attention but also how to keep the spotlight shining on them! A great way to translate that energy into your manicure is by using glitter, metallics, and jewels that will really make your nails pop!
Lavender Leo Nails
Lavender is one of those gentle, feminine colors that give an elegant appearance to your nails. While it isn’t a color I would necessarily associate with Leos, when combined with gold it can be a true attention-grabber! Of course, we have the Leo decoration and zodiac sign symbol, just in case we haven’t made it clear enough that there is a lioness in the building!
Elegant Gold Claws
Not a fan of graphic decorations? No problem! These gold and neon orange-dipped claws are a statement piece of their own! To really make the most of this manicure, we suggest an oval, almond or stiletto nail shape.
Gold Glitter French Tips
Let’s be honest – nothing beats a statement French manicure! Leos may be bold, but they are creatures of great class and refinement, too. This minimal and chic gold glitter French nail design shows just that!
P.S. It’s good to add a little evil eye in there to protect you from those who envy your royal demeanour. Just in case.
Minimalist Zodiac Symbol Manicure
While still on the topic of simple nail art designs, this is one I’m definitely looking forward to getting for my birthday! The gold powder-dipped decorations look absolutely stunning against the clear nude base! A cute and original idea would be to find a little piece of your birthstone and add it to your nail design.

Vibrant Tie-Dye French Tips
