Heart-inspired details are no longer reserved for Valentine's Day only. The coquette fashion trend is all over TikTok, encouraging fashion enthusiasts to embrace hyper-feminine designs like hearts. Perhaps girly and graphic Y2K fashion is simply back, but either way, we're not going to question it — we're just going to enjoy it and wear our hearts on our nails.  

Go minimalistic with tiny hearts

Do you typically prefer minimalistic nail designs and worry that the heart nail art might appear too bold? Try flaunting petite hearts! Your heart-inspired nail art doesn't have to be dramatic and statement-making with huge designs. If that's not your vibe, opt for a micro-heart on each nail for a subtle yet sweet look.

Try a purple or pink heart design

Anyone who likes purple fashion and nail polish should rock heart-inspired designs in that beautiful hue. Purple heart-inspired nail art will appear significantly less cliché than the expected red heart look, but it will still look sweet and romantic. If you want something not quite as common as red but slightly more traditionally girly than purple, wear a pink heart for the perfect compromise.

Rock negative space hearts

We love rocking the negative space trend in fashion, makeup, and manicures. Why not go for an ultra-modern spin on the romantic heart-inspired nail trend by flaunting a heart made out of negative space? If you want to sport a negative space heart look, it may help if buy a heart-shaped stencil to guide you or just ask for the design at a nail salon.

Get edgy with black hearts

If you enjoy frequently using the black heart emoji when texting and want an edgier, more non-traditional look than more classically romantic colors for heart details, go for black heart nail art instead. Perfect for goth and punk outfits, manicures featuring black heart details will make a statement for a striking, sexy twist.
