There are endless ways to create pretty gorgeous nails only with heart designs, and I have selected the best of the best (plus a few tutorials) and gathered them below.

Pink Valentines Nails


Pink Valentine’s day nails are the most romantic and feminine pick. Combined with red and white, they make the classic Valentine’s color palette, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get super creative by combining colors and going for fun designs.

1- Rose pink color with tiny white hearts evokes a sweet and cute aesthetic with a slight air of maturity from the antique matte pink shade.
