How to Make Goth Valentine Nails Last

Dark and red polishes are the most staining shades in any collection, so a good base coat is non-negotiable before you paint a single heart. Detailed art like drips, lettering and barbed wire lasts longest sealed under a glossy top coat — gloss also gives black and blood-red their expensive, wet-look depth — and refreshing it every few days keeps fine lines crisp. If you are painting drips at home, let gravity help: load a dotting tool, touch it to the tip and pull downward slowly for a natural-looking run.

From a single minimal heart to a full set of bloody conversation hearts, goth Valentine nails prove romance looks just as good in black. Save your favourites, show them to your nail tech, and wear your dark little heart on your nails this February.
