This design has so much character to it and is the ideal design for this Valentine’s Day.

A mixed manicure is always a good look, even if it’s simple like this design. The deep red polish is perfect for this time of year and statement enough on its own.

Nothing is better than a French manicure; it’s an elegant design that can be worn for any occasion.

This type of design has been very popular in the last few seasons, the bare nail is classy and understated, but the multi-coloured tips make them more eye-catching and bold. This is a great design if you like to add a little bit of colour to your design but don’t want a big design.

This such a simple yet cute design. The nude base is a classy chic look, and the intricate nail art design is a great design to have this Valentines. The white detail mixed with the red and pink hearts create a contrast and make the nail design stand out a lot more. I like how the design is in different places on each nail, it adds a creative and unique feel to the manicure.
14. Ying & Yang
Tip designs have been very popular for quite a while, and this is a perfect way to stand out from the trend but still have a stylish nail design. The white and red against each other is striking and will definitely be eye catching. I like how the hearts are the opposite colour to the tip, not only does it stick with the theme of the nail design but it makes it more appealing to look at compared to a plain nail polish.

This is a perfectly cute and girly design to have this Valentines; the pink is a classic for Valentines, and then mixed with a cute nail art design it creates a great combo.

I like that the design is on the two middle nails as it breaks up the solid colour and draws attention to the main focus of the design.
16. Red Shimmer
This is one of my favourite designs, reflective glitter polish is super popular right now, and we can all see why. The deep shimmer it gives is a lovely, classy way of incorporating glitter into your nail design. Then when a light is shone on them, the sparkle is beautiful, perfect for all your valentines photos. If you’re planning on trying any of these designs, this is definitely the one to try.

This is a lovely design if you like Valentine themed nails but like to stick to neutral tones. The nude base is flattering to all nail shapes and skin colours; it’s also very classy and modest. The little brown heart gives it a small detail that makes it more exciting and on theme, and the different heart placements give it a distinctive touch.
18. Pink Marble
This is a more classic nail design for Valentine’s, definitely a design that’s been popular for a few years now, but nevertheless, it’s still a great option to celebrate with. The deep pink is more classy and has a more mature and formal vibe; a great option if you’re looking for a design that’ll be suitable for your workwear too. The marble design and glitter accent nails are a lovely way of adding more detail to a nail design, and they both complement each other well.

Nail art is great for themed nail designs; it gives a manicure character and adds fun to the design. The heart and lipstick design is cute and girly while still being minimal and chic. The almond-shaped nails are perfect for designs like this as they have an elegant finish.
21. Black Heart
This is a more classic nail design, with the block colour and accent nails. The chunky glitter nails add glitz to the design whilst balanced out with the block colour and nude nails.

Not every Valentine’s day do you need a nail design that is pink or red or covered in love hearts; sometimes, it’s nice to have something different. The glitter tips are a nice alternative, they’re still a special manicure, but they’re also a nice change from more classic Valentine’s nail designs. The muted glitter is a nice option to go for as it’s more elegant than chunky glitter and has a more sophisticated look. The added detail of the rhinestones completes the design; they give it a more luxurious, expensive feel.
24. From the Bottom of My Heart

French manicures always look clean and elegant; the white heart design is something different and a subtle way of adding the Valentine’s theme to a design. The pearl detailing is a lovely way of completing the look that gives the manicure a luxurious finish.
26. Shower of Love
This design is a personal favourite; there’s so much detail in it but still so simple. The mix of full-polish nails and tip nails has been very popular for a while now, so it’s nice to incorporate this trend into a design. However, the heart detail on the two middle nails adds a unique touch to the design and adds a nice twist to the trend. The milky white base is also very stylish, giving the design a chic yet clean look.
27. Loves in The Air
This type of design has been very popular recently, and what better time to try it than Valentine’s day. A classic nude base has a clean, fresh look to it with the small heart details; it’s just a nice simple design. The odd glitter heart is a nice way of adding a bit of sparkle and making it that little bit more special to celebrate this holiday.
28. L.O.V.E
This is a really unique design; it’s definitely one to go for if you’re looking for a design that’ll stand out. The contrast between the two colours and the alternative pattern is super eye-catching and distinctive. Everything about this design screams Valentine’s day; the colours, the design, and the details. The long coffin-shaped nails really complement the design, too; they work really well together and create the ultimate Valentine’s day manicure.
29. Pink to Make the Boys Wink
Swirl designs have been popular recently, which is a great way to try it out. This design is cute and stylish, but by only having the design at the tips, it keeps the design idea simple and a different way of trying out the trend. The light pink and dark pink create a contrast that complements each other but also makes it catches people’s attention. In addition to that, the added detail of the pearls is another way of making them more unique to you.
30. Classic Love
The nude, barely there nail design is a great look; it looks like a freshened-up version of your natural nails and has a very elegant, put-together look. The single heart nail art is a great look for Valentine’s day. It’s small, but the bright red stands out and creates a statement alone; sometimes, less is more. This design is also perfect if you’re looking for a design suitable for work or every day. The simplicity keeps it in line with workwear, but the small love heart detail is a subtle way to take on the Valentine’s day theme.
31. Valentine’s Dream
Nude nails are the best if you’re looking for a classy and fresh look; they’re so simple yet have such a chic look. The heart nail art at the tip of the nails is the perfect detail for a nude nail. It adds so much detail to the set without removing the clear nail’s minimalism. This design also looks great on natural and acrylic nails, so this is definitely one to try this year.
32. Cupid’s Bow
Chrome nails have been popular recently, and this design is the perfect way to make them more of a unique style. The chrome base with the pink tip takes two trendy styles, giving it a more distinctive look. The subtle detail of the bow elevates the whole design and adds a bit of personality to the set.
33. Flamin’ Love
This design is the ideal balance of simplicity and creativity. The white and nude base is elegant and perfect if you’re looking for a day-to-day design, while the fire flame art is super creative and gives the set an eye-catching look. The heart cutout is a lovely, subtle way of making it a themed set without being too loud.
