Valentine’s Day is all about passion, affection and appreciation. Whether you’re heading out for an ultra romantic evening with your partner or spending it surrounded by your dearest gals, we are all about celebrating this amorous holiday with a love-inspired mani. Raquel DaSilva is here to share her favourite nail looks to rock this romantic season.
French Hearts
This heart tip manicure look is perfect for the love-obsessed. Instead of a traditional white stripe at the tip of your nail, make a bowed heart shape using your go-to red polish. For a more minimalist look, pair it with a neutral base – or for some added oomph, pair it with a soft pink base.
Hand Painted Love
Hello, queen of hearts! This hand-painted heart-covered design is the ultimate way to show how much you adore the season of love. We’ve paired a pink base with black hearts to offer a dramatic contrast that is sure to grab attention!
Spontaneous Love
If you’re looking to have a little fun on Valentine’s Day, this nail look is the option for you! Select a pink for the base and hand draw hearts using your favourite colour! For some more drama, you can also add some glitter hearts for extra sparkle and shine.
Neon Love
Looking for an insta-worthy V-day nail design? We’ve got you covered! This look features an outline of french heart-tips in varying complimentary neon shades. Paired with a nude pink base, it’s a chic look that you’ll want to wear on repeat.
Heart Grabber
Add a little love to your French manicure with cute hearts at the tip of your nails. You can create this look using any three complementary colours, but I personally love using two tones of pink and red hearts. This flirty design is sure to catch eyes and maybe even some hearts!
Statement Red
A classic manicure is always in style, especially on Valentine’s Day. Break out the poppy reds and hot pinks and show your passion for this holiday. My go-to red nail polish is OPI’s Big Apple Red – it’s a timeless rich red hue that you’ll want to wear on this heart-filled day and beyond.
Sweet Love
These heart cherry nails offer a super sweet look for Valentine’s Day. Swap the design of the cherries into hearts – and voila! It’s an intricate design that is sure to turn heads and capture interest.
