So, without further ado, here are 14 cute February nail ideas you’ll actually love.
01 | Two-Tone Pink French Mani
02 | Red Velvet French Tips
The velvet nail trend is alive and well, and these ruby-red velvet French tips are nothing short of stunning. They’re chic, glamorous, and perfect for Valentine’s Day. Since these are typically created with magnetic gel polishes cured under UV lights, you’ll likely need to book an appointment to achieve this look. Alternatively, you can try using a metallic red nail polish and a matte top coat to mimic the effect.
03 | Girl Power Mani
If you love the idea of a manicure that has a lot to say, this girl power mani is for you. It’s bold, fierce, and feminist. To bring these nails to life, you’ll need some nail stickers or decals with empowering words or phrases (like the Deco Miami Girl Power Nail Stickers) and a matte red nail polish. Apply the stickers on your nails and seal them with the red polish and a clear top coat.
04 | Amethyst Nails
February’s birthstone is amethyst, a stone with a stunning purple hue. So why not flaunt it on your nails? These amethyst nails are gorgeous, sparkly, and eye-catching. To create this look, you’ll need a purple glitter nail polish (like the Essie Luxeffects Set in Stones) and a clear base coat. Apply the base coat on your nails and then dab the glitter polish on the tips, creating a gradient effect.
05 | Abstract Nail Arts
06 | Tortoiseshell Accents
These tortoiseshell and cherry red nails are giving major ’90s vibes. They’re also giving a “hard-to-DIY” vibe, so your best bet is to book a nail appointment if you opt for these fun February nails. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try using a brown nail polish as a base and adding some black and gold specks with a dotting tool (like the Whats Up Nails Dotting Tool).
07 | Blueberry Milk Nails
08 | Pink Chrome Nails
These pink chrome nails are shiny, sleek, and stunning. They conjure images of tiny plastic Barbie heels or futuristic gadgets. To achieve this look, you’ll need a chrome nail powder (like the Born Pretty Mirror Nail Powder) and a gel nail polish in a similar shade of pink. You’ll also need a UV lamp to cure the gel polish. Apply the gel polish on your nails and cure it under the lamp. Then, rub the chrome powder on your nails with a sponge applicator and seal it with a clear top coat.
09 | Valentine’s Day Swirls
These pink, red, and white swirl nails are sweet, romantic, and whimsical. They remind us of candy canes or Creme Savers. To create this look, you’ll need three nail polishes in pink, red, and white. You’ll also need a thin nail brush or a toothpick to draw the swirls. Start by painting your nails with the white polish as a base. Then, use the brush or toothpick to draw thin lines with the pink and red polishes, creating a spiral pattern.
10 | Frosted White Nails
There’s nothing quite like a crisp and clean manicure, so make your nails shine with a frosted white look. It’s simple, elegant, and cozy. To achieve this look, you’ll need a white nail polish with a subtle shimmer or glitter (like the Essie Nail Polish in Marshmallow). Apply two coats of the polish on your nails and finish with a clear top coat.
11 | Rose Decals Nails
Iridescent nails are trendy and beautiful, and they’re especially fitting for February when you add some rose decals for a romantic twist. To recreate this look, you’ll need an iridescent nail polish (like the ILNP Nail Polish in Juliette) and some rose nail stickers or decals (like the Deco Miami Ornate Nail Stickers). Apply the iridescent polish on your nails and let it dry. Then, apply the rose stickers on your accent nails and seal them with a clear top coat.
12 | Easy Colorful Half Moon Manicure
13 | Hot Pink Outline Nails
Love the idea of adding hot pink to your nail look but prefer a more minimalist design? This bordered set is worth a shot. It’s simple yet striking, and it adds a pop of color to your fingertips. To bring this look to life, you’ll need a hot pink nail polish (like the OPI Nail Lacquer in Strawberry Margarita) and a fine-line nail brush (like the Beetles Nail Art Liner Brushes). Use the brush to create a thin outline around your nails with the pink polish.
14 | Heartbeat Nails
Cute, quirky, and perfect for February, these heartbeat nails are super easy to make with nail tape and a red nail polish. Keywords: heartbeat nails, nail tape, quirky nails.
