The Cancer zodiac is represented by the crab, but they're so much more than a seemingly hard exterior with a truly soft inside. They are imaginative, emotional and creative and have so many layers to their personality. In order to show those aspects off in the art form of nails, opt for blues, whites and silvers as well as pastel colors.
You can never go wrong with a good water-themed mani either, and sea animals are always welcome! Cancers are often caretakers, so if you know one who's always looking out for everyone else, maybe you could treat them to their next salon appointment with one of these sets as inspiration.
If you're looking for your next nail set that displays all the components of Cancer's personality, you've come to the right place. We have the list of the 50 best Cancer nail ideas for you to show off this zodiac season. Continue reading to discover your favorite!
