If you’re obsessed with the clean girl nail trend, this mani is a must-try for Valentine’s Day. The pinkish nude base creates a simple clean start and little red hearts complete the look. Not to mention how perfect this nail design looks on a short nail length! You can’t help but swoon over these simple heart nails.

If you want your nails to practically scream Valentine’s Day in the best way possible, opt for a milky white base with a bunch of red tiny hearts on top. The two colors create a nice contrast and make the nails pop but in a demure way, which is the result you want to get with simple nail designs. Also, making the hearts dainty is another way to keep your nail design simple as bigger hearts would take away the attention from the base.

Frenchies With Pink Hearts

Love a good French tip mani?! Add touches of love to the classic by pairing a classic french tip design with asymmetrical pink hearts in a muted shade. Finish off the look with perfectly placed crystals to add some subtle spice to your Valentine’s nails. If you’re not really into Valentine’s Day nail designs, this would be the perfect start as it combines classic elements with subtle heart designs.

When you say Valentine’s Day nails, most people think of bright red and pink nails. But the truth is, there are more ways to do your nails for Valentine’s Day that could even make your heart nails work beyond Valentine’s Day. Something as simple as a pearl chrome finish topped with white hearts can be worn all year long. I also love the idea of a pearly base because it makes the nails stand out without taking away from the simple element we’re trying to go for.

An alternative way to doing pearl chrome nails is giving them a gradient effect. Asymmetrical red hearts drawn on top of the pearly base add that Valentine’s Day vibe that will practically make you fall in love with your nails.

If you already have another nail design planned out for your next nail appointment and still want to participate in the Valentine’s Day nail trend, I’ve got an idea for you! Instead of thinking that you only have to choose to do a regular nail design or a Valentine’s nail design, combine both of them to create a unique mani perfect for the month of love. You can add heart accents to the nail design you already have planned out to find that sweet balance between the two of them.

It’s a cute and subtle way to get into the Valentine’s Day mood, plus this is a design that can work well for the rest of February.

Sometimes little is less when it comes to Valentine’s Day nails. You don’t have to fill your nail beds with hearts to create a cute heart nail design. You can do an allover coat of red or pink for Valentine’s season, and add a little heart on an accent nail. I love how the little gold line kind of resembles Cupid’s arrow which is an appropriate representation of how your Valentine makes you feel.

For the girlies who are truly, deeply in love, this mani is the perfect way to get into the Valentine’s Day mood. The silver and pink combo is honestly slept on and more people should give these two colors a try. Not to mention how perfect these nails are for Galentine’s day parties!

These nails would perfectly match whatever outfit you have planned for a Galentine’s party or a romantic date with your boo!

These tiny little red hearts are all you need to get your fingertips Valentine’s Day ready! This nail design truly proves that less is more when it comes to nail art. Something as simple as a regular nail design such as French tips, sealed with dainty hearts is as Valentine’s as it gets. You can try this with any regular nail design and add cutesy hearts to make your mani give that not so subtle V-Day vibe.

Here is another take on the previous nail design but this time for the girlies who want their nails to practically scream Valentine’s Day. Make your French tips pink and red and alternate the colors between the fingers. Now, it’s time to seal your French tips with hearts. On the fingers where the French tips are red, make the hearts pink. And on the fingers where the French tips are pink, make the hearts red. Now you’ve got yourself the most perfect nails, to match your most perfect Valentine’s Day outfit!

If you’re as obsessed with pearl nails as I am, why not combine this trend with some cute red hearts to create a stunning Valentine’s Day nail design? This nail design is so dreamy and would be perfect for anniversaries as well. This nail design just strikes the perfect balance between classy and cute that you can’t help but swoon over it. Scattering the red hearts across all the nails is also a great move because it creates a cohesive look across all the nails.

For all of us single girlies, this is how we’re moving this Valentine’s Day. Black hearts or broken hearts are great design ideas for single people who still want to participate in the Valentine’s Day nail trend. You can do different sized hearts like they did in this inspo photo or go for any other heart placement you want. The matte finish also gives these nails an added edge but still maintains a classy vibe.

Give your fingertips some love by doing heart shaped French tips. The light pink is so stunning and matches well the white hearts on he accent nails. This nail design would be perfect for the girlies who feel like they can’t live without their French tips (A very understandable feeling btw)! You can opt for heart-shaped Frenchies on two or three fingers, and accelerate the love motif by adding dainty hearts on the rest of your fingers with regular French tips. To make the whole mani come together nicely, opt for a shimmery finish.

Pink Heart Cutout Nails

To make your pink nails even more stunning than they already are, opt for two different pink shades! On two accent nails, go with two completely different heart designs because why choose one when you can have them all?! The heart cutout is such a cute design to do on an accent nail, and it honestly just gives off major “You took my heart away” energy! Another perfect accent nail idea when you’re going with two different shades of the same color is doing heart designs in those shades.

Pink Aura Nails

Dip your toes into the world of all things coquette with this super duper cute aura nail design! A mix and match vibe is always perfect when you can’t choose between two different designs, and it breaks the pattern which will give your nails a chance to shine! The ribbon and sparkle designs perfectly complement the cutesy heart design, and the rhinestones tie everything together. This is one of those heart nail designs you can even wear beyond Valentine’s Day, because it has that subtle V-day element to it.

When it comes to gorgeous nail designs, finding unique or unexpected combinations and bringing them together is very important. If you’re someone who loves adding your own unique touch to any nail inspo you take to the nail tech, this is a genius trick to use. Always work with your nail tech to bring out that unique nail art on each nail. You can even bring together different inspo pics and choose a different design for each nail. When you go this route, keeping everything in perfect harmony is key, which is why it’s always a good idea to find multiple inspo photos that have a similar vibe.

Pink Matte Nails with Two Accent Nails

Here is another cute accent nail design idea you can get this Valentine’s Day. I love the idea of mixing up the matte finish with a chrome-like finish because it makes these nails stand out even more. The pink gradient is simply out of this world and pairs perfectly with the pink and white heart designs. This surprisingly a simple Valentine’s Day nail design but it’s also not so simple at the same time which is crazy to achieve.
