THE season of romance is officially upon us, and there is no better way to wear your heart on your fingertips than with a fresh, festive set of nails.
The minimalist heart
For those who appreciate the beauty of subtlety, tiny red hearts placed delicately over a nude or sheer base coat offer an aesthetic that is both understated and incredibly sweet.
This look captures the essence of Valentine's without feeling over-designed, making it a versatile choice for the office or a night out. It is a clean, modern approach to festive nail art that feels sophisticated and intentional.
