Valentine’s Day nail inspiration

Valentine’s Day nail inspiration

Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day? Whether your day is about the boy you love or the best girls in your life you should celebrate regardless. 14th February is the perfect time to play up on all things flirty, feminine and fun. Embrace everything red, pink or heart shaped via nail art for a subtle tease towards Valentine’s Day fun.

Nude nails with white hearts

Minimalist nail art is on the rise in 2018 and these nude nails with the added touch of a white heart are the perfect on-trend option. Simple, but different, you’ll be catching all the boys’ eyes.

 Holographic red

While you might think of leaping straight towards a classic red to top your talons, why not try mixing it up with a holographic slosh of paint? This feisty red looks different in every light and adds texture to an otherwise classic varnish.

Plum negative nails

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to indulge in all the red, purple and pink hues. Mix it up a bit by opting for this plum nail art that plays with the concept of negative space. Although this might be one for the professionals to draw, it’s definitely for someone who doesn’t want to be seen as a mainstream lover.

Who said nude was boring? The addition of a black heart accent on the ring finger is a subtle but interesting element. Practice makes perfect with this one, so make sure to invest in some nail art tools.

Black and pink sequins and glitter

These nails exude all the rock chic vibes. Alternating black and pink nails bring an element of contrast that is bought all together with holographic sequins and fine glitter. It’s playful and flirty, but with lashings of edge.

“Cutesy pootsy” is the ideal way to describe these Valentine’s Day nails. In the colourways of the moment, these pink and red talons take the edge off the pointed nail shape. With the added illustration of two lovers, this look will inspire all the old romantics.

Holographic sequins

Valentine’s Day nails don’t have to be focused completely on the pinks! Ask for holographic nails when your next in the salon for something a little bit different. Add glitter or sequins for flawless sparkle.

Nude sequin hearts

Back with the nude nail inspiration, but how cute are these? If you want to celebrate Valentine’s Day and still be able to attend work then these are the nails for you. The sequinned hearts are playful, flirty and classic.

Red glitter

Red is the colour that is most associated with love, so why not skip the fuss and go straight for a rogue varnish. Amp up the glamour with some red sparkle, and variating white coats.

Multicoloured sequins

If you’re looking to go all out this Valentine’s Day, then go no further. What screams fun more than multi-coloured sequins? These heart-shaped sparkles dusted on top of nude nails.
