Best Capricorn Nail Designs for the Discerning Zodiac Sign

If you have #NailGoals, you might be a Capricorn! This zodiac sign is renowned for its ambition, focus, and realistic attitude. If a Capricorn sets their mind to something, they will achieve it, no matter how hard it seems.

Those born between December 22 and January 19 are under the tenth sign of the zodiac. They are linked to the massive, beautiful planet Saturn. And their symbol? Well, it's a sea goat. Perhaps not as sexy as Leo, but unique and powerful all the same.

We admire Capricorns and decided to honor them with a special post on Capricorn nail designs. Instead of the typical zodiac nail art, we went with the overall theme of celebrating what it means to be a Capricorn. Let's look at how a sea goat might express themselves through a manicure.

People born under this sign might be hard to get to know, but they are worth it. They may seem reserved or aloof, but there are gems hidden in the depths revealed to those fortunate enough to truly know them. Moreover, those friends will enjoy a rare treasure--lifelong loyalty.

Also, Capricorns are drawn to the finer things in life. This manicure reflects that preference with a “your nails, but better” look enhanced with rose gold glitter at the base.

Capricorns often have a strong sense of tradition and value stability. They weigh the pros and cons before acting. This careful approach helps them avoid unnecessary risks and unfortunate consequences.

This attitude might show up in manicure choices. These cat eye nails are a single color of polish. It’s garnet, the shade of the stone associated with Capricorns. But don't be fooled into thinking that being careful means being boring. Instead, it shows control over the details and enjoying gorgeous results.

Don't forget the venerable sea goat as a symbol. No ordinary goat will do, although you might get away with representing just the head.

Helpful Tips for Doing a Long Lasting and Satisfying Manicure for a Capricorn

Capricorns can be picky because they want the best value for their money. Therefore, use salon-quality nail polish to ensure a durable and gorgeous finish and skip the gimmicky options. Choose finishes that offer weeks of chip-free performance. Our store carries professional products from LDS, LAVIS, and other top brands in thousands of colors for a customized look every time.

Moreover, prioritize nail health and make sure Capricorn has plenty of cuticle oil in their favorite scent. Offer UV-protective gloves or cream if using a nail lamp. Little touches like these show that you care and will win you a loyal customer for life.

Lastly, stick to the schedule because Caps hate to wait. Be meticulous with nail prep. If the foundation is perfect, the rest will follow suit. Take all the time needed for each part of the manicure, right down to the top coat. The sea goat can be very patient when understanding the need for each step.
