Valentine’s Day isn’t just a holiday where everything from chocolates to kitschy kitchen goods gets bit by the love bug. Unsurprisingly, it’s one of the best holidays for truly next-level nail art — and is it just us, or is extra good this year?

That said, if you’re not in the mood to spend time and money at the salon, we’ve got you covered with plenty of ways to put that V-Day spirit right at your fingertips. From whimsical heart-adorned top coats to classic romantic hues of ballet pink and crimson, we’ve got nine reasons to love your mani ahead.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
