It is officially the Season of Love and my favorite way to celebrate is by getting a festive Valentine’s Day nail design. While Valentine’s Day isn’t necessarily my favorite holiday it doesn’t mean that I’m not going to use this bubbly holiday as an excuse for a fun pink mani!
Simple Negative Space Valentine’s Nails
I’ve been getting fun V-day themed nails for years now. I’ve gotten detailed, intricate nail art, simple designs and everything in between, but when I saw this negative space pink and red heart design I knew I had to recreate it.
I went to the nail salon to get my nails done, but this simple design can easily can be done at home with the right nail tools! All you need is a sheer base, soft pink polish, cherry red nail polish and a nail art brush, preferably one with a brush on one side and a dotting tool on the other!


Start by painting your nails with the neutral sheer base polish or if you prefer you do true negative space Valentine’s nails and keep your nails bare, but I suggest the former. Then you’re going to want to paint half of each of your nails with either red polish or pink polish. You can alter each nail or do what I did and paint my left hand with red polish and my right hand with light pink polish.
Then you’re going to take your dotting tool and paint a small heart in the opposite color on the center of each nail. Simple and easy, but still the cutest Valentine’s Day nail inspo!

These negative space Valentine’s nails can be recreated on long, short, rounded, almost, square or pretty much any type of nails which makes them the perfect Valentine’s day nail inspo for you!
