Valentine’s Day is such a fun, extra holiday that can be done in a really classy way. I love decorating my home, baking, finding a gorgeous outfit, and even doing my nails for the holiday. In fact, Valentine’s Day nails are one of my favorite parts of winter!
This year, I wanted to compile my favorite trendy Valentine’s Day nails in one place. These nails are various shades of pink and red, but they’re very classy and on-point for current nail trends.
Most of these nails are either acrylic or dip, but you can also find similar press-on nails on Etsy that are super professional if you don’t want to go to a salon.
There is, however, no better time to head to the salon than before a Valentine’s Day date night!
Valentine’s Day Nail Trends:
This year, there are specific Valentine’s Day nail trends that are especially popular.
The Minimalist Heart Design: If you want a look that’s classy but still has a nod to V-Day, choose a neutral or red-toned color and add a few minimalist hearts. You’ll see plenty of these Valentine’s Day nails in the example photos below.
Heart Tips: Instead of French tips, opt for a heart shape. This is a really trendy look right now that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Black On Black: The color black is especially popular right now and there are so many gorgeous (and kind of French-girl) ways to incorporate this into your Valentine’s Day nails. Check out the inspo photos below to see what I mean!
