When July rolls around, that can only mean one thing: Cancer season. Cancers were born anywhere from June 21 to July 22, but the month of July is truly their time to shine. There’s no better time to tap into your emotional side, as this water sign is known for being sensitive, intuitive, and empathetic.

If you want to embrace Cancer season in all of its glory, try channeling your emotions through your nails. I’ve rounded up the best July nail colors that embody all things from the Cancer zodiac sign. That means silver or gray, seafoam green, shades of blue, and white. Picture any nail color that might be woven into a crashing wave.

Silver

Silver is associated with the moon and spiritual connections, making it the ideal color for sensitive Cancers. It symbolizes tranquility and mysticism.

Seafoam Green

Seafoam-green tones symbolize luck, health, and starting over fresh. They particularly resonate with Cancers, a cardinal water sign.

Oceanic Blue

Blue is another (perhaps more approachable) way to infuse oceanic vibes into your nails. This color signifies calm and serenity—two things we wouldn't mind having at our fingertips.
