8 love-themed manicure ideas for Valentine’s Day
Nails to match your heart eyes
Valentine’s Day may be a made-up hallmark card holiday used to capitalise on the love of millions, but boy are we suckers for a Valentine-themed manicure.
Giant teddy bears and heart-shaped chocolates trigger our natural gag reflex, but heart nail art and red French tips make us swoon.
This Valentine’s Day we’re giving the (well-painted) middle finger to archaic romantic traditions.
Be advised: buy a big bouquet of flowers or risk catching these manicured hands.
Prefer a classic nail look? The icy white manicure is a new take on an old favourite.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
