We’re Falling in Love With Tom Bachik’s Abstract Heart Valentine’s Day Nails
When we think of Valentine’s Day nails, our minds tend to go to the classics: a simple French, a light pink, a seductive red, maybe some hand-painted hearts. But, keeping up with the nail trends of today requires a bit more creativity. If you want to go outside the box this year, Bachik’s negative space heart manicure is the perfect Valentine’s Day nail idea.
“Roses are red, Valentine’s manis are too,” Bachik wrote in the caption for his innovative heart day set. Featuring a different variation of a hand-painted heart on each nail, Bachik’s Valentine’s Day nails combine elevated French tips and negative space to create heart designs that are not too obvious. At first glance, the set looks like a quirky red mani. On a closer look, you’ll notice that each nail features parts of a heart, resulting in a cool-girl, nonchalant Valentine’s Day manicure for the demure in aesthetic but lovey at heart.
