With the longest month of the year finally over (cya, January ?), this February we’re all about the love. Yep, Valentine’s Day (probably the most marmite of holidays) is around the corner. So, whether you’re the ‘true-romantic V-day lover’ type, or you use the holiday as an excuse to get discounted fancy chocolates the following day (we feel you) – there’s one thing we can all agree on: it’s the perfect excuse for a mani.
Gone are the days when a simple glossy red was the only option for embracing the spirit of love on Valentine’s Day (of course we’ll always love you, red, but we’re ready to spread our wings a bit). Recently, our Insta feeds are full of baby hearts, abstract swirls, monochrome details, chrome accents, and endless other perfect ideas (including a few anti-Valentine’s looks, which we’re equally obsessed with).
And let’s face it – whether you’re a Valentine’s Day lover or hater – we could all do with a little love in our lives right now. So, here are the V-day nail looks we’re crushin’ on at the moment – Cupid approved. ?
