Valentine’s Day might be known as a Hallmark holiday full of chocolate, greeting cards, and loads of love, but it’s also the perfect excuse to show your fingertips and yourself a little love this Valentine’s day. This year’s Valentine’s Day Nails are all about a minimal nod to cupid’s favorite holiday: cute designs that are not over the top or tacky. I’m sure you’ll find some nail ideas you’re guaranteed to love no matter your relationship status.
The following nail ideas will look adorable whether you’re out wining and dining, or on a hot date with your cat and Netflix. Usually, red or pink Valentine’s Day nails are a solid choice, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to a solid shade when you do your nails for Cupid’s favorite day. Ahead, you’ll find modern twists on classics with candy decals and heart French tips. Of course, I’ve added some black-and-white nail options for the edgier among us – especially if you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing red and pink shades.
There are so many cute and clever nail art ideas out there — some easy enough to DIY, and others you’ll probably want to screenshot and take to your favorite nail professional. Pinky-promise, you’ll fall in love with at least one.
Keep scrolling to fall in love with some adorable Valentine’s Day nail art.
