As a Leo, I’m confident in the assertion that Leos are fabulous, fierce, friendly—and love attention. So an eye-catching manicure is the perfect choice to sport this season. Think: Bright pinks, shiny chromes, and loads of texture. Plus, you can lean into colors like orange, the aura of Leos, and peridot green, the birthstone for August Leos. Ahead, browse 20 Leo-approved manis to sport this season, whether you’re celebrating your birthday or simply want some of our contagious energy in your life.

Cheetah Print

Since Leos are symbolized by the lion, feline energy runs strong among us. Capture that essence with a cheetah print mani.

Peridot & Pearls

With Leo season spanning the month of August, its only right to include looks inspired by the month’s birthstone, peridot. This look features peridot green with chrome, pearl, and 3D gel accents.

It Girl

This manicure oozes Leo energy. It features long square nails adorned in 3D swirls and charms all topped with gold chrome powder.

Star

Everyone knows that Leos are stats in their own right, so gold chrome stars are more than fitting.

Mermaid Energy

Although Leo is a fire sign, anyone born under Leo is a summer baby. So incorporating marine elements like seashells and pearls into a manicure is a great tribute.

Sparkle and Shine

Incredibly striking, this manicure features a sheer nude base with a subtle dash of a pink aura design. It’s topped with 3D gold chrome stars, lines, and swirls.

Sea Foam Sparkle

Peridot is quite an intense green, so going for a softer shade in with a shimmery finish can help you get the same vibe.

Lioness

If lions got manicures, this is what I imagine it would look like—long, glossy, and understated.

Leapord French

To channel feline energy without a fully printed mani, go for a French tip.

Peridot

For sublet peridot vibes, coat your nails with a few coats of the yellowy-green hue.
