Forget about the summer sun, Gemini! Paint your nails the color of autumn leaves, pumpkin, and candy corn. They will fit right in with the Fall season and with Halloween.

How about giving your nails a coat of shimmering light? Walk into the night, Cancer, and you’ll shine brighter than the stars.

Pretty in pink…that’s what you are Scorpio! Retract your stinger and show your compassionate heart. Your kindness will not be mistaken for weakness.

Embark in an adventure by sailing the ocean with your blue nails, Capricorn. Then swim with the dolphins if you get a chance. Let your fantasy take you where the waters run deep.

Aquarius: Neon

Conquer boldness, brightness, and beauty with these neon hues. Your nails will stand out like the lights that illuminate NYC at night…maybe less. Are you ready to say “Veni, Vedi, Vici,” Aquarius?

Pisces: Gray

Say hello to your 50 shades of gray, Pisces. No matter what you do, be loud and proud about your ideas and create originality. Don’t let anyone paint you into a corner.

She always enjoyed learning and opening her mind to new ideas and concepts. Francesca's favorite quote is "Veni, Vidi, Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered) by Julius Caesar. That quote doesn't only relate to Francesca migrating to the U.S., learning a new language and adapting to a new culture, but it also relates to her battle against cancer. She was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in 2005 and completed all of her treatments in 2006. She has been a cancer survivor since then.
