Hey Collegiettes! Remember the 90s when everyone thought horoscopes were so cool and so accurate? It said I was going to be travelling and it was right (it was a bank holiday weekend but still! It’s psychic!) Drawing from this fun memory I revisited the horoscope pages and collected the planets and symbols of the signs along with their supposed personality traits, then chose the perfect nail colour for each sign. If horoscopes aren’t your thing there are still some great nail varnish recommendations in there! Happy nail varnish hunting!
