Valentine’s-inspired nail polish

Valentine’s Day is all about the little details, and that applies to your date night get-up. Add some polish and a pop of colour to your outfit with these nail varnishes.

Flattering dress, check. Fabulous heels, check. Gorgeous makeup and hair, check. If you’ve got the main elements of your Valentine’s Day date night outfit, then you’ve got one step left until you’re a complete knockout: the nails. Here are our favourite V-Day-themed pink and red nail polishes from the best brands on the market.

If you’re the kind of lady who steers towards nude polish and French manicures, a light pink shade for Valentine’s Day has your name on it.

For va-va-voom digits that scream “fun”, go for the brightest pink you can find. You can’t go wrong with these ones, which are various shades of fuchsia and magenta.

If you want to continue the Valentine’s Day theme but can’t quite decide between pink or red, why not choose something in between? These offerings will go with just about any outfit.

Do you want your nails to make a statement? Then don’t consider anything that isn’t red — the universal colour of love, passion and all things sexy!
