27 Valentine’s Day-themed nail art designs on YouTube that you can easily do yourself

This Valentine’s Day, treat yourself to some gorgeous DIY nail art designs, courtesy of YouTube.

In case you missed it, Valentine’s Day is coming. JK, there’s no way to miss this even if you wanted to — the stores have been pushing pink and red trinkets and treats since before the Christmas lights had a chance to cool off. Love it or hate it, you can’t escape it. Whether you’re boo’d up or single and loving it, self-care is the move. Fly nails are a true expression of self-love, and getting them done doesn’t have to be difficult. There are countless nail art tutorials on YouTube, and the inspiration is endless. Fancy a snow globe? Unicorns, anyone?

A nail party is a great Galentine’s Day activity, but you don’t have to be a hopeless romantic to have fun with it. There’s even a look for the cynical and heartbroken. (We’ve all been there.) Give yourself or a friend a handful of tiny Valentines. We have serious heart-eyes right now. Valentine’s Day fingers? Nailed it.

To get you in the Valentine’s Day spirit, here are 27 of our favorite nail tutorials.
