Valentine’s Day Nail Art and Manicure Ideas
The countdown to Valentine’s Day has begun and, while I don’t really celebrate it, I like dressing up my nails for the occasion. Creating hearts was one of the first nail art techniques I mastered so I take advantage of any reason I can whip out that talent. And even if nail art isn’t your forté, I have some fun Valentine’s Day nails for you.
I have a bunch of nail art wheels filled with colored crystals and I don’t use them nearly enough. If you’re in the same boat as me, it’s time to drag them out. I used round, red crystals to create a little heart on my index finger. The nail colors are Milani Color Statement Crimson Jewel (sparkly red) and Bombshell (baby pink).

If nail art isn’t your thing, try a Mixed Media Manicure by combining different colors and textures, like glitter. For the look below, I used Essie Lacquered Up and Maybelline Color Show Wild At Heart over Essie Blanc below but I have more red polish and glitter top coat options for you HERE.
