Other original ideas
The main thing in manicure is to evoke a feeling of satisfaction and inspiration. Looking at your nails you should be a little happier, so before going to a nail technician or if you do your own manicure, I advise you to look through photos to find your design. You don’t have to copy it, you can take it as a basis, but choose a different color, make the design with a different material or complement it.
Many people worry that there is little that can be done for short nails. Is this in 2021? Now is the time when everything is possible, even what is better and not necessary. However, I advise you just not to be afraid and remember that the coating should decorate your nails and hands as a whole, but not vice versa. Remember this - feel free to experiment.
Red and pastel colors are the best friends of short nails on Valentine's Day. Let's remember minimalism and create a manicure with small hearts, decorated with a rhinestone.
On long or medium nails you have room to roam and here you can draw a cardiogram of the heart, either on one nail or extend it as much as possible over several nails, ending with a heart.
Half hearts or wings on two fingers look impressive, no matter if they are lined with rhinestones, drawn or created by rubbing.
Geometry can also be woven into a romantic theme by placing a heart on a strip or highlighting the phrase “love is” with stripes.
Many people like lunar manicure, but in this case the lunula area is highlighted in the shape of a heart.
These were the main ideas, remember that you can supplement or modify each of them.
Win-win options
Any girl in love especially looks forward to February 14th and looks forward to a special romantic evening on this day. Ladies in search of a prince also think through their festive look to the smallest detail. On such a holiday, everything must be perfect down to the tips of the nails. What kind of manicure can you do to make it the perfect accent to your look?
Valentine's Day is an occasion to decorate your nails with thematic designs:
- hearts;
- flowers;
- angels;
- kisses;
- gift boxes;
- bows.
Interesting! It is not at all necessary to paint absolutely all the nails. Accents on one or two fingers will look more elegant.
The classic thematic design palette is usually in shades of red and pink. Their undoubted advantage is that they fit perfectly with any shape and length of nails. If desired, the selected color scheme can be complemented with gold or silver decor.
Simple Feng Shui manicure to attract love
Many people are interested in the teachings of Feng Shui; it solves many problems, but only on the condition that a person uses this wisdom correctly. Today, according to this wisdom, you can attract good luck, money and love with the help of a properly created manicure. Now let's think about what each woman dreams of? Of course, about love. Let's try to help those looking for their soul mate and create a manicure that, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, helps to find your chosen one and find happiness.
Before you start creating a “love” nail coating, you need to clarify some important points for this situation. According to Feng Shui, each finger is responsible for different life situations. The little finger is for peace of mind and well-being in the family, the nameless finger is for love relationships, the middle finger is for success in financial matters, creative success, personal development and advancement in business, the index finger is for self-confidence, the big finger is for concluding successful deals and fruitful mental work. .
At the same time, you should also know that a Feng Shui manicure always involves highlighting only two nails, on those fingers that are important for achieving certain results. That is, it turns out that in our situation, in order to attract love, it is necessary to highlight the index and ring fingers. In the classic version, the remaining three fingers are not painted in any color (only if with transparent varnish), but it is not prohibited to paint them with other colors, but so that exactly the two desired nails stand out.
Plus, it is necessary to highlight two nails not with any color that comes to hand, but with a certain one, in our case the shellac should be red or scarlet, the rest of the nails will be painted white, it will go well with red.
Since today it is fashionable to decorate nails with various designs, ornaments, rhinestones, etc., let’s not deviate from fashion and depict on the nails two halves of a heart, which should connect both in reality and when the nails approach each other. You can also draw cupids or peonies, they also symbolize love, in the latter case, the nail coating should consist of red, bright pink, scarlet colors, in addition you can add white details.
So, let's start covering your nails with shellac. The coating will be carried out according to the standard scheme: base coat - drying - shellac (if necessary, two layers, each dried separately) - drying - final coating that will fix the manicure (transparent gel polish can be used) - drying - treatment with a coating remover (can be replaced with acetone).
First, paint the nails with white varnish on the little finger, middle and thumb. Now let's move on to the main ones. Apply red shellac (two layers if necessary). You can start drawing.
Using a thin brush, draw half of the heart with a sharp corner away from you. We complement it with curls so that the drawing does not seem boring.
In a similar way, we make a coating on the index finger, only in a mirror image, since this time we are drawing the second half of the heart.
When you connect two fingers, the ring and index fingers, you get a whole heart. Even when the fingers are not together, the design on the nails will look original, and due to the fact that the pattern is applied with white varnish, the highlighted nails will be combined with the other three.
It should be noted that shellac may spread when applying a design; to prevent this while working with a brush, the results obtained can be fixed in a UV lamp. To do this, a couple of seconds is enough for the coating to set a little on top, form a thin film and not spread.

Passionate manicure
Red is the color of love and passion. It can be safely used to cover nails if you don’t like designs. Any red shade will do. You can combine different colors. For example, paint several nails in a different tone or make a transition from light to dark from the little finger to the thumb.
If you want to keep one color, experiment with a combination of textures: use a matte texture on all nails, alternate it with a glossy one, or leave it on just a couple of plates. It will look interesting and original.
Tools
There will be nothing new or unusual among the tools for a romantic manicure; rather, color and design will play an important role here.
To create a romantic mood, you can try:
- stamping is a technique for transferring any designs, here you can print hearts, birds, flowers, angels, and declarations of love on your nails, i.e., whatever you want;
- sliders or stickers - all you need is your imagination, you can find everything;
- rhinestones - a heart made of rhinestones or the entire nail in rhinestones, and leave the heart “naked”; with the rest of the nails calm, this will be an original addition to the image;
- kamifubuki – you can use them to highlight one nail or write out the word “love”;
- matte effect top;
- rubbing or foil.
There may not be as many tools as there are, but the number of possible designs does not change at all, because with this minimal set you can create incredible beauty on your nails.
Delicate pink
This color looks fashionable, romantic, symbolizes innocence and purity. It is suitable for a refined, reverent nature who dreams of beautiful love and tender affection. Feminine pink goes well with modern nail art techniques.
