Luxurious & Elegant Nail Ideas Inspired By Taurus Season
Deeply connected to all things earthy, Taurus season invites us to explore our sensual nature. Those represented by the bull appreciate fine meals, cozy blankets, spa treatments, and filling a shopping bag like no one else. And no matter where Taurus falls in your birth chart, April 19 to May 20 calls us all to tap into life's elegance and beauty. "Taureans are down-to-earth people, which makes sense, as they are one of the three Earth signs...Every sign is governed by a planet, and Taurus is Venus's child, so it's no surprise that they are sensual, tactile, and sensory-oriented beings," astrologer Courtney O'Reilly told Well + Good. "Taurus is also a fixed sign, so people born with the sun in the sign of Taurus are quite steadfast and reliable."
What better way is there to celebrate Taurus season than with some self-care — aka a trip to the nail salon? This earthy sign's color is, you guessed it, green. As such, this sign would be well-represented by a green mani with gold leaf, decadent nail art, or long, elegant tips -– among many other routes. "Taurus archetype is the builder, the guardian, but also the pleasure seeker. Taurus wants to be connected to the five senses and the richness of life," astrologer Madi Murphy told Vogue of the sign.
So, ready for a verdant spin on your mani?
Decadent Taurean jewels that dazzle
To usher in the season of luxury, ask your nail technician for a manicure fit for a queen. Nail jewels and a glazed top coat will take this look to majestic heights. As far as your color palette goes, greens of any hue fit Taurus season perfectly, but a light green captures its essence particularly well.
The cottagecore trend is ideal for Taurus season
If you know anything about people with prominent Taurus placements in their birth charts, you know the sign mirrors the energy of a woodland fairy. This makes the cottagecore manicures apt for this season. Bows, berries, vines, moss, and more are stunning nail additions, and this luxurious manicure is even more beautiful with long tips.
Opt for shimmering metallics and textured nails
Because Taurus season is all about the senses, ringing it in with a decadent, textured manicure is brilliantly poignant. Metallics that melt with movement are the perfect eye-catching additions to Taurus-themed nails. Ultimately, light green ties the look together with ease.
The quiet luxury trend can still very much signify Taurus season
Who says luxury and elegance have to be over the top? A minimalist manicure with artistic green shapes is no less impactful than a set of nails dripping with richness. If you aren't one to draw much attention with your style and beauty statements, then the quiet luxury trend can still very much carry you into the season of the bull.
All that glitters is gold
No Taurus-season nail inspiration would be complete without gold glitter. After all, Taurus is the sign of wealth and prosperity. To fully step into this season, ask your nail technician for an accent nail or two featuring bold gold glitter –- or even recreate the look at home yourself. Just don't forget the gold leaf in the end.
Go for a cosmic night sky theme instead
Lastly, if you'd rather capture the zodiac's cosmic essence with a deep indigo hue instead of green, you should feel free to do just that. The symbol for the bull can be applied to your manicure along with a constellation and some pretty stars –- or any other zodiac-related symbols you see fit.
