Let’s be real—Galentine’s Day is where it’s at. You’re hanging with your girls, sipping wine, binging rom-coms, and talking about all things love (or lack thereof). So why not have nails that scream fun and fabulous?

Valentine’s Day Nail Design Ideas:

  • Hearts, hearts, and more hearts: Keep it classic with cute hearts in playful shades of red, pink, or even gold.

  • Glittery goodness: Add a pop of sparkle with glitter accents or a full-on glittery nail. Because what’s a celebration without some sparkle?

3. Solo Self-Care: Because You Deserve It

Let’s be honest—Valentine’s Day is about loving yourself, too. Treat yourself to some "me time," whether it’s a bubble bath, a Netflix binge, or just chilling with your favourite snacks. You deserve to feel pampered from head to toe—even your nails!

Valentine’s Day Nail Design Ideas:

  • Sleek and minimalist: Nude nails with a single heart accent—because subtlety can be sexy.

  • Matte finish: Go for a modern matte red or black with a touch of sparkle. Effortless, but still jaw-droppingly chic.


Get Gelly Tip: Our Pearlfect Glow Gel Nail Strips are perfect for your solo celebration - neutral, light pink chrome nails. Quick to apply, long-lasting, and totally glamorous—no fuss, just fabulous nails.

4. Outdoor Adventure or Day Trip: Nails That Are Fun & Ready for Anything

Not everyone is all about fancy dinners and sparkly drinks. If you’re planning an outdoor adventure or a fun day trip, you still need nails that hold up to the action—but that doesn’t mean they can’t look cute!

Valentine’s Day Nail Design Ideas:

  • Bright & bold: Think playful pinks, fun hearts, and a pop of colour. You’re about to take on the world, so let your nails do the talking.

  • Floral accents: Who says you can’t mix romance with adventure? Add some floral designs to keep it fresh and fun.

Get Gelly Tip: Go for Heart to Heart Gel Nail Strips - bright, bold, and durable enough to handle a little adventure. Because who said cute nails can’t survive a day of fun?

5. At-Home Date: Cosy, Cute, and Totally Chill

Sometimes, the best Valentine’s Day plans are the low-key ones—think candles, Netflix, and cuddles. If that’s your vibe, we’ve got nails that are cute without being too over-the-top.

Valentine’s Day Nail Design Ideas:

  • Soft pinks with heart accents: Sweet, simple, and perfect for curling up with your favourite person (or a comfy blanket).

  • Minimalist with a touch of sparkle: Keep it sleek with nude nails and a subtle glitter accent. Effortless, yet eye-catching.


Get Gelly Tip: Blush Hour Gel Nail Strips are your perfect match. Soft, easy, and perfect pink and white ombre for that intimate vibe you’re going for. Because nothing says “I love you” like nails that need zero maintenance.

6. Anti-Valentine’s Day Look: For the Non-Cupid Crowd

Not everyone is about hearts and roses on Valentine’s Day, and we get it. Whether you're single and loving it, or just not into the whole romance thing, we’ve got an anti-Valentine’s look that’ll make you feel fierce, fun, and totally unapologetic.

Anti-Valentine’s Day Nail Design Ideas:

  • Bold black with edgy accents: Dark nails are a classic rebel look—think matte black with a pop of red or metallic studs. You can make it as grunge or as glam as you want!

  • Broken hearts: If you’re all about rejecting the clichés, go for an anti-heart design. A jagged, cracked heart or a broken heart split down the middle—because who needs the love, anyway?

  • Edgy graphic designs: Skip the romantic themes entirely and go for bold, abstract designs—think geometric shapes, spikes, or cool splashes of black and white.

Get Gelly Tip: Try our Black Magic Gel Nail Strips for the ultimate anti-Valentine’s look. They’re dark, sparkly, dramatic and perfect for anyone who’d rather spend V-Day with a pizza and a side of Netflix.
