Tips for Making Square Valentine Nails Last
Square corners are the first place a manicure chips, so ask your technician to seal the free edge carefully and wrap the corners with top coat. Lettering, lip prints and tiny hearts all sit on the surface, so refresh a glossy top coat every few days to stop the edges of the art wearing away, and keep cuticle oil in your routine — February air is dry, and hydrated nails hold fine detail far longer.
From one tiny heart on a milky French square to a full set of love-letter calligraphy, there is a square Valentine design here for every kind of romantic. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your nails do the flirting.
