Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and you know how much one of us loves a little holiday cheer. (It’s me, Megan.) Wendy is rolling her eyes right now.
Even if you think Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday, you can still get in on the fun with a these cute Valentine’s nails that you can even do yourself at home!
Valentine Manicure Idea #1 – French Manicure with a Twist
We love this twist on the classic french manicure, and honestly I think these heart tips might be even easier to manage than the regular french tip! Of course you can show this style to your favorite manicurist and we’re sure they can nail it! (Sorry.)
Make this design your own by straying even further from a classic French manicure. Who says the tips need to be white? Choose a red, or a hot pink to make your nails pop. We like Essie Love Note Worthy and Slumber Party for this look!
Valentine Nail Idea #2 – Teeny Tiny Hearts
We love these itty bitty hearts and truly believe that less is more when it comes to this design. We like the use of an accent nail to really set the design apart, but you could skip that if you’re more of a nail minimalist. Simply choose a color that will stand out against your base color.
We’re begging someone to try this with Olive and June’s Hot Strawberry color!

Easy Valentine Nails Idea #3 – Gradient Pinks
There are no special skills required here, just a handful of colors to make this pretty gradient! You can even buy gradient sets of nail polishes that have already been created for you! We love this set of Beetles gel polishes, perfect for Valentine’s Day.

If polishing your nails just isn’t your thing, whether at home or in the salon, try press-on nails! These manicures will last for days and days without the hassle of trying to paint tiny hearts with your non-dominant hand!
