Valentine’s Day Nail Art
Submitted by Ellaine Abad
February is known as the month of love, which is represented by hearts that are usually pink or red. Since hearts are a simpler shape to create using fun colors, they make the perfect design to use on nail art. In the past few years, the recent trend of doing your own nails and having more out-going nail art designs has increased the amount of holiday-themed nail art inspirations that you can find all over different social media platforms. I have always loved doing my own nail art and designs since I was in elementary school, so I personally enjoy seeing new creative designs that inspire me to continue doing my own nails. The following article shows 10 of my favorite Valentine’s Day nail art designs I’ve seen so far this year on IG. I hope you find them as cute as I do!
