The most romantic day of the year is approaching. For most of us, Valentine’s Day is overhyped and usually doesn’t meet our expectations. But you know what never fails? V-Day inspired nail art. Think about it: why not turn this day into something more inspirational and creative. We went online and found some of the most creative tutorials that even turned me into a nail-art lover. After all, you don’t have to be romantic to try your hand at nail art. Here are some of our favourite nail art ideas that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Polka Dots
One of the easiest things to try as a beginner, polka dots. Plus they are super versatile. Feel free to experiment with colour themes!
Half-Hearted
Use a transparent coat on your nails and then paint the tips with red, black or any other colour you’d want.
I Heart You
Or go all out. Love is all about taking a giant leap of faith anyway. P.S. Save these on your phone and head to a nail salon.
XOXO
Hugs and Kisses. Need I say more?
Anti-Valentine
Who says you only have to use red? Nail art is all about you. Make it yours.
Glitter, Shimmer and Shine
Like going a little extra? Try nail paints that are high on shimmer. Embellishments are a great way to add that sparkle to your tips.
Stamping
Stamps are a great way to ‘heart’ your way to show the V-Day spirit. You can use the good ol’ technique of finger flagging where the spotlight shines on one finger.
Textured
Or you could keep it simple and use your favourite nail paint with a bit more texture.
