12 Nail Design Ideas for Scorpio Season 2024

The angelic energy of Libra season is almost behind us—and in its place has finally emerged Scorpio SZN, which will rule from October 23 to November 21.

While Libras are known to be quite level-headed and diplomatic by nature, Scorpios are water signs who are loved for their passion, devotion and keen intuition. Ruled by the planet Pluto, which has depth and strength, Scorpios are represented by the sharp-tailed scorpion, which is undoubtedly a hint of their stubborn (and sometimes secretive) nature.

From an aesthetic point of view, Scorpio is best described as a dark and mysterious person, and when it comes to nails, they tend to choose endlessly bold shades of polish, such as pure black, rich burgundy, blood red and the like.

When they choose an intricate nail design, they can try a unique barbed wire vibe, black French tips, or simply repeat their sign with some scorpion design similar to cool women’s tattoos. For some manicure (and pedicure) inspiration, just take a look at Scorpio queen Shailene Woodley’s latest gothic set.

If you have a Scorpio in your natal chart or just want to get into its vibe, here are 12 nail art ideas inspired by this zodiac sign.
