5 Adorable Valentine's Day Nail Art Looks

Valentine's Day nails can be cheesy, but these designs from Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop are anything but (well, minus the pizza nails, which are literally cheesy).

1. Delicious Pizza Nails

1. Lay down a blue base. After you apply basecoat, apply two coats of a neon aquamarine blue on your nails. 

2. Create triangles for the pizza slices. With a striper brush, on your middle fingers, make two triangles that touch and single triangles on your pinky and thumb fingers using an opaque yellow polish.

3. Create cheese drippings and the crust. Using the small end of a dotter tool and yellow polish, make tiny teardrops to mimic cheese dripping off the slice. Then, dip the large side of a dotter tool into black polish and dot it along the top of the triangle. This creates the base for the crust so it looks outlined when you top it with taupe polish later.

4. Outline the pizza slices with black polish using a striper brush. 

5. Make pepperoni pieces with a red nail polish and the small end of a dotter. 

6. Create two dots with the smaller side of the dotter and connect them with a V. Then, fill in the triangle to make a heart above the pizza slices. Then, use the same technique to create a single heart on your pointer and ring fingernails.

7. Top the black crust with a taupe polish and the small end of a dotter tool. 

8. Let your artwork dry and add topcoat to seal everything in.

2. Chic Heart Nail Art​

1. File your nails into a slight almond shape. That way, the heart will appear more heart-shaped when you apply the polish onto the tips of your nails. After filing your tips into shape, apply a base coat. 

2. Stroke the brush once to the left, making the top of the heart rounded and dragging the brush to the center tip of your nail. Give the polish a few minutes to dry before moving on to the next step to keep the polish from smearing.

3. Stroke the brush once to the right to complete the heart. Wait a few minutes and then use a topcoat to finish off your look.

3. Pale Pink Marble Tips

1. Post-basecoat, paint your nails with two coats of a pale pink hue. 

2. Apply a pearlescent pink polish on to the corner of a makeup sponge. A sponge will impart just the right amount of sparkle onto your nail to create the same look when light hits marble and subtly glistens.

3. Dab the sponge on a couple of spots on your nails, and then let them dry.

4. Creates veins similar to ones that marble contains with thin pink lines. Using a toothpick or striper brush, dip your tool in a bubblegum pink polish and drag it in different directions on your nail. The more your hand shakes, the better this will look, so don't make the line perfectly straight. Finish with topcoat and then take a nail selfie, aka nailfie.

4. Lipstick Mark Mani

1. Paint on two coats of a pinky-nude polish. After applying one layer of basecoat, paint on a pinkish nude shade. 

2. Apply topcoat to your nails and then draw lips using a striper brush and red polish. You have to work on one nail at a time with this look, so you can manipulate the red polish to make the lips look real. Layering on topcoat allows you to move the red polish around more easily in the next step. 

3. Take the small end of a dotter and etch vertical lines in the lips to make them look realistic. Wipe off the dotter in between with a tissue to get excess product off; that way the lips don't look gloppy.

4. Wait a hot second for your nails to dry, then add more topcoat to seal in the look.

5. I Love You So Matcha Mani

1. Apply basecoat and then top your nails with two coats of a pastel blue polish. Allow it to dry for a few minutes.

2. Draw an eye on your pinky nail. Using a striper brush and black polish, create an almond shape for the eye and give it lashes. Use the large end of a dotter tool to give it an eye color, and then the smaller end to give it a pupil using the same black polish. Helin chose a bright blue. 

3. Create a heart with pink polish on your ring finger using a striper brush, and then a "U" with black lacquer. Clean the striper brush off with acetone polish so you don't mix the two colors. Use the black polish from step two and a pink polish. 

4. Write "SOOO" on your middle finger with black polish and a striper brush.

5. Draw a coffee cup on your nail in white polish using a striper brush. ​With white opaque polish, create a circle as the top of the cup and add a horseshoe shape to the bottom to create the actual cup. Fill in the horseshoe, then draw a handle on the cup. Once that dries, add some pastel lime polish as the matcha tea. 

Next, create the saucer by drawing another circle under cup, and outline the outer corner of it in black polish with the striper brush. Use the same black polish and striper brush to create eyes and a mouth on the cup, as well as steam lines coming out of the matcha tea.

Finally, clean off your striper brush and use the pink polish from step three to give the cup some blushing cheeks.

6. Draw "Bae" or your significant other's name on your thumbnail in black polish.
