Whether you're preparing for a special Valentine's Day, or you're still waiting for Cupid, there's something here for your next manicure!
Regardless of how you feel about Valentine's Day, there's no denying that the day of love offers plenty of cute ideas for your next manicure. The best nail technicians go all out with charms, dreamy color schemes, and hearts of all shapes, sizes, and colors. That means whatever your point of view, whether you're a romantic ready for a table for two, spending it with your best friends or just relaxing with a box set, there's a nail art to suit your vibe.
“Pink and red are definitely classic Valentine's Day nail colors and are always the top choice for most clients, however, I like to switch things up every now and then. I've experimented with black, white and neutral shades for a more subtle look,” says manicurist Iram Shelton who names OPI's Alpine Snow, Lady In Black and Baby, Take A Vow as his favorite shades. “I created nail looks with chocolate hearts instead of traditional red ones.”
Painting your nails in different shades is also a great way to bring in some creativity without requiring a steady hand or extra tools. “Blue, pink and yellow work really well together, or if you're more minimalist and prefer something classic, try browns and nudes with white or black accents,” suggests Shelton. The iridescent and chromatic finish is also here to stay and gives an otherworldly glow to your nails. Romance is in the air and at your fingertips!
