The race to get things finalized for Valentine's Day has started because we have less than two weeks until Feb. 14. Hopefully, you've already scheduled your spa appointment for this week to have a fresh mani for your date. That said, it's the perfect time to start thinking about what kind of nails you will ask for.
To give you a few fresh ideas, we've gathered five trends we're seeing across social media. Continue reading to discover what we found, from classic to innovative new looks.
French With Accent Hearts
You can never go wrong with a French manicure. It's our go-to whenever we can't decide what we want. It's truly timeless and effortlessly classy, and you can further elevate the design by requesting a different color tip and adding accents. We love how this artist added pink hearts on the nail. It adds a lot of dimension.
Cat Eye
We think cat eye is the cutest nail polish you can use. It will always turn heads because it has that unique three-dimensional effect. People have gotten more creative with using the magnet and added shapes to the glitter. For Valentine's, you can ask your technician to form yours into a heart. Look how ethereal it looks when you move your hand around, too!

Coquette Nails
Valentine's Day is all about things that are lovely and sweet, and what says "lovely and sweet" more than the dainty coquette aesthetic? You'll find all things pink with adorable, soft accents, often using bows, glitter and rhinestones. It also makes for great nail art, too. This person assembled a gorgeous design with gems, pearls and gold detailing. Love!
Make It Goth
However, no one says Valentine's must be extra cute. If you identify with dark, almost gothic aesthetics and simply prefer more edge in your fashion, you can still find a festive style for the holiday. This artist thought of a beautiful black, red and silver design. Yet, it still manages to ooze a loving energy with its heart and rose stones.
Keep It Simple
Hey. If all else fails, you can always go with a basic manicure. For Valentine's Day, we definitely prefer going with red over pink. Like a French manicure, it has the essence of elegance, and TikTok swears by the red nail theory—which says your partner will go wild for you because red is commonly associated with passion and strength.
