I've Never Been Drawn to Valentine's Day Nails, But These Chic French Tip Designs Have Me Sold

Valentine's Day is approaching, and while I don't believe in spending lots of money every time a new occasion rolls around, I do like to do little things now and again to celebrate these special events. When it comes to Valentine's Day, however, I must admit I've never been one for adopting a Valentine's nail trend—they just never seem to be very me. I much prefer a chic, minimalist design over something bright and gimmicky. Instead, to celebrate Valentine's Day, I'd rather get out my best perfume and put a bit of red lipstick on to make myself feel good.

Having said that, whether you're spending the day with your partner, your friends or simply having a quiet one to yourself, I can't deny that getting my nails done makes me feel so much better. And, this year, I've actually seen a surge in very chic Valentine's Day nail ideas—and they all have one thing in common. To me, nothing says chic like a French tip manicure, so I'm thrilled to have found some inspiration on how I can wear this trend in February.

Luckily for me, there are so many Valentine's French tip nail designs out there, and to be honest I've been having a hard time choosing which one to go for. I've rounded up some of my favourite manicure looks below, so keep on scrolling if you're also thinking of treating yourself to some new nails to celebrate the day of love...
