The Best Valentine's Day Nails You'll Fall in Love With

Best Pinterest Valentines Day Nails

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…Valentine’s Day is actually my least favorite holiday. BUT I will literally never pass up the opportunity for a festive manicure with holiday nail art designs and this is no exception! I’ve rounded up the BEST Valentine’s Day nail inspo not only for all of you, but because I need the perfect manicure to celebrate the season of love too!

I’m currently on the hunt for Valentine’s Day nail design inspiration for this year which prompted me to create this Best Valentine’s Day Nails post to not only help you pick out a design for yourself, but to help me also. Because I know if I’m having trouble deciding what V-day nail art to get then I know a lot of you guys are too! I’m tempted to stray from the traditional pink and red nails given that’s what I always do and it’s what’s expected. And instead, maybe do a simple design with black hearts (because it seems on brand). But I know I’ll be searching and saving ideas until the very very last minute. And probably won’t actually decide what design I’m going to get until I get to the nail salon and Kelly starts taking off my January nail art.

I’m really not sure I can top my 2020 heart nails. But I sure am going to try! I’ve been scouring Pinterest and Instagram non-stop, but still haven’t found something I LOVE as much as those red nails. So if you find a design that you think I’ll love send it my way. I’d need all the help I can get and I’d LOVE to see it! Same goes for any other holiday. We all know I can’t make decisions easily so I’m all for suggestions!

The gradient effect when it hits the light is just so beautiful.
