Send a message of amore with this cute design from Ciaté London.

Get the look:

Step 1: Paint all nails with Ciaté Underwear Basecoat, and then apply two coats of Doll Face Paint Pot.

Step 2: Make a border around the edges of your nail by applying Ciaté Paint Pot in Unrestricted Glam with a striper brush.

Step 3: From the two right corners of your nail, paint two lines to form a triangle.

Step 4: Paint the envelope "fold" lines from the triangle to the outer left corners of your nails.

Step 5: With a dotting tool, create a heart using Ciaté Paint Pot in Boudoir. Add three pink crystals while the polish is still wet.

Step 6: Seal the crystals with a dab of Ciaté Speed Coat Pro. Leave the rest of the nail matte for a paper-like finish.

We're in love with these easy-to-replicate Valentine's Day nails from Sarah Waite of Chalkboard Nails.

Start by painting your nails with a hot pink polish, and then paint two arches from the outer edges of your nails, so that they meet in the middle. Repeat with different colors until your nail is filled.

Pretty pink nails sparkle with metallic polka dots. Scotch Naturals Nail Polish in Whisper is the perfect pastel pink, and if you're not steady enough to stipple perfect dots, cheat it with a metallic Sharpie.

Nail tape is all you need to get the precise lines in this sparkly Valentine's Day nail art. After your base color has dried, apply thin strips in a triangular shape. Fill in the shape with Butter London Nail Lacquerin Rosie, let dry and peel off the tape.
