Cancer Nails
💧 Water element Jun 21 – Jul 22
Cancer manicures look like moonlight on water. A cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon itself, Cancer energy on nails is soft, pearlescent and quietly emotional — moonstone silver, ocean blue and iridescent pearl in jelly and aura finishes. Here is the Cancer nail palette, shapes and design ideas.
