The palette of red and pink shades is endless, allowing you to pick the perfect hue to match your Valentine’s Day vibe in 2025. Maybe it’s a sultry cherry red, a Hollywood crimson, or a powder pink as soft as a first kiss. By the way, kiss prints can also take place on your nails. Needless to say, hearts are a classic symbol of the season and a timeless choice for Valentine’s Day nails. If you kept it simple with a monochrome nail color for the holidays, now’s the time to adorn them and try a design with bows this time for a romantic look. Meanwhile, chrome or cat’s eye nails can ensure a striking, dimensional effect. These styles pair beautifully with different shades, whether it’s pink, lilac, celestial blue, or pearlescent finishes.
To help you make your decision, we’ve gathered the best nail art ideas for inspiration. Keep scrolling to find your perfect Valentine’s Day manicure.
