Letting them hold our hands to see the nails

7 manis for Valentine’s Day that are too good to pass

Valentine’s Day hits different for everyone. Some are deep in their rom-com era, others are swiping for a plus one and plenty are happily booked for a night of self-care. But whatever situation you may be in, your nails should match.

‍

If you’re feeling a little extra love, go for heart stamp nails. Want a little main character energy? Scribble ‘I love me’ across your tips. And if romance isn’t really on the agenda, a cool-toned blue set says ‘unbothered’ in the best way. Ahead, we handpick seven mani designs to bookmark before your appointment.

Cocoa crush

Love a neutral moment? You don’t have to ditch the browns and nudes just to wear red. Go for little hearts in a warm brown shade on one tip—sweet and subtle. And to keep it office-friendly (because let’s be real, Valentine’s Day isn’t a day off), paint the rest solid brown. Whether your plans involve a coffee date or a candlelit dinner, this mani works for both.

Mono love

If minimal and monochrome is your vibe, these tiny B&W hearts are a no-brainer. Keep the placement random for a perfectly imperfect look. The best part? The colours go with everything, so no need to overthink your Valentine’s Day fit. Effortless, playful and totally wearable beyond February 14th. Because who says love (or good nail art) must be seasonal?

Molten hearts

Love melts everyone, so why not let it melt onto your nails too? Classic red hearts are a Valentine’s Day staple, but here’s the twist—go for a melted lava effect, dripping from the tips and pooling at the nail beds. For a barely-there finish, keep the base sheer and close to your natural nail colour. Subtle, but statement-making.

Regal affair

If this set doesn’t scream princess treatment, what does? Cool-toned blue might not be the classic royal red, but it’s just as bold—especially when paired with the right details. Keep things balanced with a mix of matte and shimmer, then add 3D gold accents in a delicate crown shape for a queen-esque effect. To make it even sweeter, place a cool blue heart, a little deeper than the base, just under the gold. The result? A dreamy manicure that feels luxe but never OTT.

‘I love me’ nails

Who says you need a Valentine to rock Valentine’s Day nails? You’re the main character and your manicure should say that. Think tiny kisses, ‘I love me’ scribbles, 3D cherries and abstract outlines. Whether you’re hosting a singles-only night or crashing one, this set is all about celebrating you.

Lobster nails

Nothing says true love quite like “You’re my lobster”—you’d know if you’ve watched Friends. This is one cute, nostalgic and basically a love letter in polish. Whether your SO is a die-hard Ross and Rachel fan or just loves a good rom-com moment, this design is guaranteed to make them fall for you all over again.

Cupid’s mark

If your relation status is ‘taken’, seal the deal with this love stamp set that features a flurry of hearts and XOs. The best part? No two stamps have to match. Mix and match heart candies, sweet nothings and playful kisses for a design that’s uniquely yours. To take things up a notch, pair the mani with a coquette-core outfit—think lace, ruffles and the perfect little bow.
