Hello! Fashion shares the Valentine's Day nail looks that we've fallen head over heels for:
Aura Nails
Hazy and vibey, aura nails tend feature a blurred circular centre, and this pink colourway feels utterly apt for Valentine's.

Pillar Box Red
Not into elaborate nail art? No problem. Go for a solid colour classic with pillar box red.
Minimalist Red Hearts
If you're wanting a subtle nod to the season, try red hearts layered over a blush pink squoval base.
Glitter Tips With White Heart Accent
Champion understated glitz with pink glitter tips and a single heart in a contrasting shade.
Broken Heart
Expert manicurist Betina Goldstein's quirky, unforgettable nail art lives in my mind rent-free all year round, not just around Valentine's, and this heart-centric thumb look is just adorable.
Gold Hearts
Unswayed by the traditional red-pink colour scheme? Lean into metallics with molten gold hearts.
Mix 'N' Match Moment
For a super playful Valentine's nail moment, opt for the mix 'n' match approach and try a look with different designs on each individual nail.
Heart-Lined Tips
Tips needn't be uniform, and I love the fluidity of the pink line in this understated, heart-inspired mani look.
Contrasting Coat Of Arms
This graphic heart nail look reminds me of a modern, uber-romantic coat of arms - and I'm here for it.
Holographic Gems
If you're looking to dial up the glitz factor, consider layering heart gems over a wash of glitter.
Bold Tip Contrasts
For a simple, high-impact look, alternate pink and red tips with heart detailing.
Pink Chrome
Cool-girl chromes are everywhere right now, and for Valentine's, a glossy raspberry finish is the way to go.
French Tips And Pink Hearts
Embrace negative space by pairing square French tips alongside classic pink hearts.
Multi-Coloured Hearts
Hearts are synonymous with Valentine's Day, and this look featuring lilac, white and punchy fuchsia feels super cute.
Coquette Cool-Girl
Bows are having a serious moment across both the fashion and beauty spheres. Hop on the trend and style it alongside sultry red tips for the season of love.
Lovestruck Minimalism
Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve, it's all about the nails. This manicure design features tiny, centrally-placed red hearts with gold lines down the centre, richly reminiscent of Cupid's golden arrow.
Itsy Bitsy Hearts
Wanting to pay a super subtle tribute to Saint Valentine? Tiny cuticle-bordering hearts over pale pink is the look I'm currently crushing on.
Almond French Tips
Amp up an otherwise understated almond French tip look with white hearts and sparkly gems.
Red-Pink Check
If you're into graphic impact, this red and pink checked design featuring a focal point heart is a striking choice.
