- 30 Mixed Yellow Tips
Gemini is known as a curious, clever, and friendly sign that shines a bright light. Latin for “twins,” Gemini is also known for having two distinctive sides. So fun nail designs that embody that fun, dual-sided energy are perfect.
“Since Geminis are twins and are sometimes said to have two personalities, having a different design on each hand would really reflect this,” says celebrity manicurist Fleury Rose. Yellow manicures are also apt, as the sunny color represents the sign’s aura.
Whether you're a Gemini or want to channel the air sign's energy this season, find 30 Gemini nail ideas below.
Squiggles
"This design is cool because it is the same pattern, but each hand is done in a different color to show the two sides of a Gemini," says Rose.
Bejeweled Aura
Given that Gemini has a yellow aura, this design is more than fitting. It features a nude base with yellow air-brushed blobs paired with gems.
Dreamy Clouds
As an air sign, Gemini lives with their heads in the clouds. So a dreamy cloud design is perfect.
Frutta
Gemini season helps us finish off spring, making a fruit design perfect. This look features strawberries on one hand and lemons on the other, embodying Gemini's twin spirit.
Sunny Chrome
A bright yellow stands out on its own, but adding a reflective chrome finish elevates it to the next level.
Twin Flames
Embody the twin flame of Gemini with this fiery design. It features flames cascading down the tip, with a different color combination on each hand.
Butter Yellow
Butter-yellow nails are super on trend this season. This look features Le Mini Macaron Chamomile ($13) topped with their Le Glazed powder ($15).
Florals in the Wind
This design features daisies floating on a robin's egg blue backdrop, giving the effect of flowers flowing in the wind. Yellow French tips add the final touch.
Yin-Yang
"A Yin-Yang would be a cute option for a Gemini to show the balance and two sides of this unique sign," says Rose.
Monochromatic Floral Tips
This gorgeous manicure features two shades of yellow—butter tips topped with sunshine-hued flowers.
Pure Yellow
For an effortless Gemini manicure, go for a simple yellow polish. This look features Hedonist ($13) from Cirque Colors.
The Same But Different
This design changes things up with color. One hand has a baby pink base with red squiggles while the other has a gray-toned purple base with orange squiggles.
Neon Tips
Go bright with a neon yellow French nail to add edge to the classic design. For even more interest, the base is milky white, and the shape is square and sharp.
Two-Toned
Embrace the dual energy of Gemini by employing two polishes on each nail. In this design, the main color of the nail is different from the U-shaped design at its base.
Baby Stars
“This design is cute, quirky, and celestial just like a Gemini,” says Rose. It features a milky white polish with blue flowers on one hand and pink on the other.
Airy Chrome
To incorporate the airy nature of Gemini, go for a sheer look. This manicure features a chrome polish on a clear base.
Zesty Lemon
Gemini is fun, sweet, and tangy—just like a lemon. So a lemon-focused nail design is a cheeky nod to the sign's overall vibe.
Neon Smiles
This design features a solid neon yellow on one hand and neon smilies on the other. The smilies are neon blue, orange, yellow, and pink, keeping things bright and fun.
Celestial Sky
Go blue with your aura nail for a stunning sky effect. This design has a celestial vibe, thanks to silver stars and dots.
Aura Frenchie
Another take on the yellow aura nail, this design features a clean French tip toped with a dash of yellow.
Butterflies
Since Gemini is considered a social butterfly, a butterfly design is super fitting. This look features a black-and-white butterfly split across two nails on a pinkish-blue iridescent base.
Sheer Tip
To get the neon look in a subtle way, opt for a neon jelly polish. This look features an angled tip with the jelly yellow on half of a clear tip.
Cornflower Blue
For a simple nod to Gemini's airy nature, adorn your nails in a cornflower blue that evokes an early morning sky.
Neon Set
Go bold with a full neon set. This design features solid nails and a line design that highlights the half-moon, apex, and tip.
Springy Aura
Get a hint of Gemini's yellow aura by incorporating it into a springy aura look,
Negative Space Half-Moon
Accentuate your half-moon with a negative space manicure. This design uses OPI’s Make My Daisy ($13).
On the Other Hand
This airbrush look features a yellow aura on one hand and a coral aura on the other. Each hand is topped with a funky abstract white-line design.
Floral French
Go bright and floral with this mix-and-match manicure that features yellow French tips and white and yellow flowers.
