8 Valentine’s Day Inspired Nails We’re Crushing On

Not everyone has that special someone to spend Valentine's Day with, but that doesn’t mean the celebrations are over for you! How could anyone turn away a day that is perfectly designed for eating mass amounts of chocolate and watching your favorite rom-com? There are plenty of ways to add in the V-Day spirit to your February, but my favorite way is nails.

Between hand-painted designs, nail stickers, cute gems, or just some basic festive colors, there are so many options for making your nails your new V-Day accessory! This isn’t just for my single ladies—if you have dinner plans this Sunday with a special someone, this is the perfect way to stay festive without being too cheesy. So, whether you're spending the day with your person or crying over Peter Kavinsky, here’s some nail inspo for your February festivities!

Colored French

Let’s start simple. Colored french is the perfect way to keep your nails simple, yet festive. Put a twist on the classic design by adding red or pink to this month's mani.

Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend

Add some accessories! Some festive hearts and a touch of sparkle is perfect for our glam nail lovers. If your go-to at the salon is long coffin acrylics, this design is for you.

XOXO

Not all manicurists can paint some of the more elaborate designs, so this is a more simple design that you could feel comfortable showing most nail techs… xoxo.

Hearts, hearts, and more hearts

These all-over hearts have been a very popular choice for this year’s celebrations. Personally, I think it resembles the Powerpuff Girls logo, which only makes me love them so much more.

Designer Date

This one is for my luxury ladies. Stay festive and luxurious with this Comme des Garçons inspired design.

Pops of Color

These nails are a modern twist on the french mani. This curved line shape is a fun way to add this classic color combo to your design.

Shades of Pink

A different shade of pink on each nail is another simple look for those of you that want to be quietly festive.

Love Letter

For those of you that are lucky enough to have that go-to artist that is practically Picasso with nails, try this more elaborate design. A little love letter, hand-painted hearts, maybe Cupid’s bow and arrow?

This Valentine’s Day, I will likely be laying in bed devouring mass amounts of pizza and chocolate while sobbing & watching The Vow, but at least my cute nails will wipe away the tears!
