Whether you’re a minimalist or someone who loves doing the most, there’s something for every aesthetic this season of love. Let’s scroll.
1. Pink V-Day Mani
Pink and red is THE Valentine’s combo, but we’re doing it tastefully this year – translucent pink base with one red heart per nail. Minimalist girlies, I see you and this is your sign.
2. Negative Space Hearts
Sheer base + classic Valentine red + cutout hearts = artsy girlie energy but make it romantic. Works on any nail length because good design doesn’t play favorites.
