Trends in Nail Colors and Shapes

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be all about pink and red.

We've gone in search of fun Valentine's day nail looks. Some of these you can do yourself.

While most of us aren't wearing this look (no judgement-if this is your look- go for it!) it's definitely eye-catching!

Pastels are popular all year round in 2021. Nail lengths are trending from short to very long -- Ballerina or Stiletto anyone? Square shapes are seen less with natural curved edges becoming more popular again.

 Fun, flirty looks for Valentine's Day!
