12 Nail Art Ideas for Scorpio Season 2024

The angelic energy of Libra season is almost in the past — and in its place, Scorpio SZN is finally here and will reign from October 23rd to November 21st.

Although Libras are known for being quite balanced and diplomatic in nature, Scorpios are water signs loved for their passion, loyalty, and intense intuition. Ruled by the planet Pluto, which possesses depth and power, Scorpios are represented by the sharp-tailed scorpion – which is undoubtedly a reference to their stubborn (and sometimes secretive) self.

Aesthetically, a Scorpio is best described as dark and mysterious — and when it comes to nails, they tend to lean toward endlessly bold polished shades to match, like pure black, rich burgundy, blood red, and so on.

When opting for intricate nail art designs, they can try a unique barbed wire vibe, black on black French tips, or simply represent their star sign with some scorpion art similar to cool girl tattoos. For some manicure (and pedicure) tips, just take a look at Scorpio queen Shailene Woodley’s latest goth ensemble.
