During Leo Season, Ditch Your Boring Pedicure & Go For Something Bold

Emotional Cancer season is officially behind us, and the peak summer heat is ushering in a fitting era: fiery Leo season, which spans July 22 to Aug. 22.

Represented by a lion, Leos are best known for their deep passion, innate charisma, unshakeable confidence, and a tendency to be a bit theatric (cue a lion’s dramatic roar). They are ruled by the sun, which is a direct influence on the sign’s power, vitality, and ability to shine in any room.

When it comes to personal aesthetics, Leos aren’t afraid to stand out in a crowd. They’re comfortable in bright colors and attention-grabbing looks, especially if those choices spark conversations (and compliments). Maximalism isn’t a style, it’s a state of being.

Leos are often drawn to luxurious shades of gold, which means gold chrome finishes and gold leaf flecks match their energy well. They also tend to love bold shades like fire red, sunny yellow, and hot pink.

Whether you’re a loud-and-proud Leo or simply want to embrace the zodiac’s SZN, here are five pedicure ideas to inspire you.
