Whatever you have planned this month, we are here to help you get ready for what Valentine's Day has in store for you. It only makes sense that you look your absolute best during the month of love.

Especially when it comes to your nails. We can’t have you forgetting that manicure this month. Maintaining the balance between nails that you would actually have on for weeks and nails that are holiday-specific is difficult. You want your nails to fit the theme of the month while still being stylish.

We scoured the internet to find some of the best nail set ideas to make things easier for you, here are 8 Valentine’s day nail ideas for a perfect day to be spoiled:

1. French Valentine

The idea behind this nail set is pretty simple; A classic French tip, but make it Valentines Day-coded. So,we are upgrading the clean white, French tips with little cute hearts on the tip of your nails instead. This result is chic, with a little romantic flair. It ‘s perfect for the minimalists out there who want to be lovey-dovey without going over the top.

2. Your Aura Is Love

If you want to radiate love, this is the perfect nail set for you. I mean, who doesn’t like a little aura nail moment? However, for that romantic touch, add hearts to the center of the nail. These nails are fun and unexpected and they’ll have you looking like radiate love. These are perfect if you want a dreamy looking nail set.

3. Ace Of Hearts

When you think of Valentine's Day, you think of hearts. Right? It’s a no brainer. But what if we took it a step further. Maybe try referencing something else we are all familiar with. Maybe, a deck of cars? More specifically, Heart cards. Genius right? It’s kind of related to hearts but not entirely related to Valentine’s Day. Quirky without being too on the nose, these nails are perfect for anyone who wants to be part of the love-in-the-air magic but in a more indirect manner.

4. Picnic Nails

Maybe you love cherries. Or maybe, you are just as obsessed with gingham as we are. Either way, these nails scream “Take me out on a date”. They just paint the scene for you. The gingham pattern kind of makes you think of a picnic blanket and before you know it, you’re thinking of going to the park on a romantic picnic date, eating cherries and strawberries, with ladybugs and possibly butterflies flying all around you. Maybe if you want to give a little hint to your special person, then these are the nails for you.

5. Confetti Nails

These nails are celebratory and fun. They just show that you are planning on having something to celebrate on the 14th of February. Heart shaped confetti pieces, gelled over clear nails. They are girlie and shiny and, yep, we’ll say it: FUN! Perfect, if you plan on going out on the town. The pink glittery effect of the nails will be magical to look at as they shine in the night. Perfect for girlie-girl who loves a bit of shimmer.

6. Kiss Me Nails

If you want to use a different V-Day symbol from hearts, kisses are the next best thing. What better way of bringing on the romance than with kiss marks on your nails. You can make this even more interesting by playing around with different colours that are related to the season of love: pink, red, purple. These nails turn the heat up a bit. If you want a little cheeky set, these nails are definitely for you.

7. Split Heart Nails

We hope the wording of these nails don’t rub you the wrong way. Fingers crossed, the only thing being split this February is the design of your nails. So, for this nail look we start with a heart that’s split down in the middle, with two different shades of pink on either side of the heart. However, for an eye-catching illusion, the background of each half of your split nail will be the same colour that you picked to paint the heart on the opposite side of your nail. Easy, right? If you are a playful person who enjoys a little unexpected twist to your nails, these are for you.

8. Girlie-tine Nails

We love bows. We love cherries. We love quilted textures. We love pearl embellishments. And we love gold chrome details. And we totally don’t think that you have to choose between any of these. Consider this the month of love, we also believe it is the month of abundance. This set is for our maximalist queens, because we would never forget you guys. If you want a hyper-feminine nail set that totally devours, this is the set for you.

There are thousands Valentine’s Day specific nails out there and it is pretty easy to find one that is true to the holiday while still being wearable and true to you. We think these nail ideas strike the perfect balance between being festive while still looking cool enough for you to wear in your day to day life.
