Tips for Valentine Gel Nails That Last

Gel art lasts longest on a properly prepared nail, so push back cuticles, dehydrate the nail plate and cure each layer fully — especially under glitter and thick heart details, which can stay tacky if rushed. Fine hearts and script are easiest with a liner brush and a dotting tool, and a glossy top coat refreshed after a week keeps reds and pinks looking new; if you are doing your own set, practise the heart shapes on a tip first, because two small dots pulled into a point are much easier than painting the outline.

From the softest blush confetti to full fuchsia glamour, these gel designs prove romance suits every nail length and every shade of pink. Choose the set that makes your heart beat faster and wear it all February.
