Who says Valentine’s nails are limited to red or pink?
Whatever your vibe, from minimalist chic to goth glam, we have options for everyone. Mix and match this year’s hottest trends and start a new tradition with something fresh, fun, and anything but basic!
Pretty in Pink
Pink nails are having a major moment, and the options are endless—nude pink French tips, pearly finishes, cat-eye effects, and even neon pink that screams, ‘Look at me!’. For a fun twist on your pink Valentine’s Day nails, try a mixed design with different shades of pink on each nail, or add a glittery accent nail to catch the light.
Back in Black
Serve up moody, edgy chic this Valentine’s Day with black nails. The ultimate wildcard, black is all about edgy elegance and bold beauty. Go sleek with glossy black or step up the drama with black-and-white patterns, black-and-silver accents, or a goth-glam look with hearts or other Valentine designs in negative space. Want to turn heads? Pair black with pink or red for a classy Valentine’s mash-up.
Minimalist Chic
Low-key Valentine’s, but make it cute. Nudes, pastels, and natural tones are perfect for that soft girl aesthetic; just add some delicate details to keep it romantic. Think tiny hearts, gold flakes, or negative-space designs that elevate the look without going over the top. Perfect if you love to keep it sweet and simple.
Red & Pink
These classic Valentine’s shades are the OG power couple. Try glossy color blocks, swirling gradients, or ombre designs that blend red and pink in the most magical way. Add wavy lines or a metallic accent to this classic duo combo for a modern update that hits different.
Sophisticated Swirls
Marble nails are giving luxe energy. Swirl your way to perfection with dreamy whirls and high-end vibes. Whether you choose soft pinks and whites or bold purples and blacks, this elegant trend adds a bougie touch to your Valentine’s look.
From Soft to Stunning
Ombre nails are still a dreamy choice in 2025, so blend pink and red, get creative with shades of purple, mix it up with silver, or try out a purple glitter gradient. They’re stunning, playful, and perfect for day-to-night vibes.
Purple Reign
Did you know purple was originally a royal color? Fitting for a Valentine’s Queen! Whether you choose violet, lavender, or deep plum, the color is trending hard this year. Go for a simple pop of purple on your tips, an elegant ombre fade, or add some variety with glitter or metallic accents for a regal finish.
Reinventing Romance
Hearts are the classic Valentine’s design, but how about giving them a modern makeover this year? For a subtle nod to the holiday, check out barely-there hand-painted heart designs, negative-space looks, or French sweetheart tips. Feeling playful? Add contrast with hearts in unexpected colors like black or metallics.
Chrome Crush
Metallics are here to stay, and chrome or mirror nails are the perfect way to give your Valentine’s look a futuristic twist. Pair chrome finishes with pink, purple, or nude shades for a daring yet sophisticated edge.
