By this point, you guys must know how much I love Valentine's Day. I don't always wear a ton of pink and red (although I'm slowly incorporating more of it into my wardrobe), but I'm always up for wearing it on my nails! This manicure is so cute for the holiday or for every day. You just need red and pink nail polish, and some sort of tape to do the color blocking.
- Paint your nails with a base coat for to keep them from staining. Y'all already know this base coat is one of my favorites.
- Then paint on your red polish and let it dry.
- Tape off the tips of your nails—I'm using these white tip guides meant for making french manicures to make it super easy. If you have a steady hand, you can do this part without the tape.
- Paint the tips in a light pink. When the paint is mostly dry, peel off the tape and wait for the pink to finish setting before polishing the whole thing off with a clear coat!
The best thing about this manicure is that it's more subtle than painting a heart on your nails, but it still matches pretty much everything related to the holiday—so you'll want to pick up everything red and pink you can find!
You can totally switch up the colors and do pink with red tips too. Tag me in pictures of your manicures on instagram @xheightment!
Love that mani! I’m going to have to do that with my nails for my date on Sunday!
How cute! I adore this and it looks pretty easy to manage too! Thanks for the fabulous idea!

Love the nails…and the photos!
Cute nails, and I love how creative the photos are!
In love with the pink tips! That would look so great for the holiday, I may even do it with white instead of red!

I think pink and red M&Ms might be my favorite part of February! They look fantastic next to your matching manicure! 🙂
