Tips for Making Valentine Nails Last

Heart art and lettering are fine, detailed work, so seal them under a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days to keep tiny lines and crystal accents in place. February weather is hard on hands, so keep cuticle oil nearby and wear gloves outdoors; and if your set includes bows or charms, book close to Valentine’s Day so everything is at its sharpest for the big date.

From one minimal love line to a full holographic sweetheart set, there is a Valentine manicure here for every kind of romantic. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your nails do the flirting.
