Four starry-eyed nail techs show you acrylic nail art based on the signs of the March zodiac. Focusing on Pisces (February 20 – March 20) and Aries (March 21 – April 20), these examples are sure to inspire you to create your own out-of-this-world designs.

Featured Acrylic Artists are Shannon Chomanczuk, A Polished Image, New Windsor, N.Y.; Monica Leiper, Salon Diego, San Diego; Stacy Senecal, Libelle, Geneva, N.Y.; and Kathleen M. M. Ringwood-Wood, Shampoo Hair Designs, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Pisces in Pink - Senecal used pink as the backdrop for her fish-and-flowers design.  

Swimming with the Fishes - The Pisces symbol is incorporated into this deep sea design by Senecal.

In the Deep - Using glitter acrylic and rhinestones, Chomanczuk created her Pisces inspired tip.   

Rhinestones and Glitter - The purple rhinestones used in Leiper’s design mimic the color of amethyst, the birthstone for Pisces.

Ram Into You - This ram outline by Chomanczuk was created with red and black acrylic.  

Head My Way - Chomanczuk used red, orange, white, and clear acrylic to create this sideview of a ram.

All About Aries - With black polish as her backdrop, Senecal placed an acrylic ram’s head on a nail tip for her design. 

Heaven Sent - The sparkly flecks represent shooting stars in Leiper’s heaven-inspired art.

Fiery Ram - Leiper incorporated the Aries’ element of fire into her nail tip. 

Communing with Nature - Senecal shows a ram in its natural habitat in her soothing design.
