I’ve been staring at heart nail designs for like three hours straight so everything looks like hearts now lol.
But seriously though, heart nails are so romantic and pretty. You don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day either! Hearts work all year round, if that’s what you like. Some of these designs are super simple and some are more extra.
I tried a bunch of them myself and honestly, my favorites keep changing? Here’s 25+ different ways to do hearts on your nails and spoiler alert – they’re all super cute in different ways.
Bold Red Heart Nails
Red hearts on your nails. That’s it. And it looks so good! This is the classic one that everyone knows. I paint red hearts on each nail and people always say they love it, almond shape nails make the hearts look even better, but any shape works tbh.
Colorful Hearts With Outlines
Okay so this one has lots of little hearts. Different colors everywhere! Then you draw white lines around them. Put them on a pink base or nude color so they show up well, it’s really fun and happy looking.
French Tips With Outlined Hearts
French tips but make it hearts. The black outline around the hearts makes them pop! They look like cartoon hearts, which is so cute. It’s chic but also fun, I’d wear this one for Galentines or any occasion actually.
Pink Glitter Ombre Tips
This design is so sparkly. You do pink glitter on the tips that fades out. White hearts and stars go on top! Super pretty for parties or when you just want your nails to look magical and special.
Pastel Pink Hearts At The Tips
White French tips with tiny pink hearts. So simple! But really pretty and you can wear it to work. The hearts are light pink and sit right at the tip of the nail, goes with everything in your closet.
Elegant Square White Heart Frenchies
Square nails are my favorite shape sometimes. When you add French tips and then little white hearts, it’s perfect! Clean and modern but still has that romantic vibe going on, not too busy either.
White Almond Nails With Red Hearts
White nails with red hearts scattered on them. Long almond shape looks really elegant! The red really stands out against the white.
Glitter Nails With A Heart Accent
Not everyone likes long nails and that’s okay. Pink glitter on short nails looks amazing! Do a heart on one nail for the accent. Still cute but easier to deal with, the glitter makes it look fancy.
Burgundy Frenchies With Heart Silhouette
Burgundy color is so underrated. French tips in burgundy with a heart shape on top? Yes please. It’s dark and romantic at the same time! I do this in fall and winter mostly because it feels cozy.
Red And Pink Pointed French Tips
Pointed French mani are so dramatic. I love how they look! Red and pink tips with hearts make it bold and pretty. The almond shape makes everything look cooler because of how the nail points toward the tip.
Minimalist White With Black Hearts
Less is more right? White nails and simple black hearts, that’s all you need! It looks expensive and modern. Goes with literally any outfit you wear which is nice.
Shimmery Brown And Neutral Heart Nails
Brown nails are having a moment, when it comes to heart nails. Add some shimmer to brown and put hearts on top! It looks natural but still pretty and feminine. The shimmer catches light in a really nice way.
Red Heart Nails With Rhinestones
Want some bling? Add rhinestones to your heart nails. Red hearts with tiny rhinestones around them or in the middle look so good! Just use good top coat or they fall off which is annoying.
Cherry Red And Neutral Heart Nails
I mix cherry red with beige or nude colors. Some nails are red and some are neutral! Hearts go on different ones. Looks put together but each nail is a little different.
French Nails With Colorful Tiny Hearts
Long French nails have so much room for art. Tiny hearts in all different colors scattered everywhere! Like confetti on your nails. Pink red purple orange whatever colors you want, everyone always says they like these.
Pink Chrome Heart Nails
Chrome nails are so popular now. Pink chrome is the best one! Add hearts on top in a different color or draw them with nail art. The shiny metallic finish is really pretty when light hits it.
White Nails With Burgundy Hearts
White base with burgundy hearts on it. Really elegant! Not as bold as red, but still makes your nails look special. Works any time of year and it’s easier than you think to do.
Brown And Pink Heart Nails
Brown and pink together is so underrated. You can do brown nails with pink hearts or pink nails with brown hearts! Soft and pretty but not too bright. Love this for spring because it feels fresh.
Cartoon Outlined Hearts On French Nails
When you outline hearts in black on French tips they look like cartoons. It’s adorable! Reminds me of old animations. Fun but not too cutesy and the thick black outlines make the hearts really stand out.
Pastel Pink Heart Outlines
Blush glitter is so feminine and pretty. Pastel pink heart outlines on top! The glitter sparkles and the hearts keep it from being too plain. This is one of my favorites when I want something girly.
Hot Pink Matte Heart Nails
Matte nails are so different from shiny ones. Hot pink matte is bold! One white nail with a black heart makes a cool focus point. Matte finish looks more expensive looking, but you can totally go glossy too.
Red Hearts And White Dots
This one has a lot going on. Pink tips red hearts and white dots everywhere! It’s busy but cute. I save it for special things because it’s definitely a statement look that’s also great for everyday.
French Tips With Bright Pink Hearts
Really thin French tips look delicate. Then bright pink hearts which are bold! The contrast is cool because the tip is so subtle. More people should try this combo.
White And Pastel Pink Heart Nails
White and pastel pink is such a soft combo. Can’t go wrong with it! White nails with pink hearts or switch it around. Either way, it’s pretty and feminine, not too much.
Thick Pink Frenchies With Red Hearts
Thick French nails look super bold here. Pink tips with red hearts – so fresh and cute! The thick tips give you more room for the heart art. Valentine vibes but honestly, you can do it anytime.
