Lets play a little Family Feud-esque game: We say "Valentines Day nails" and you say the first thing that pops into your head. Chances are, hearts are top of mind.
As pretty as heart-adorned manicures can be, theyre not for everyone. That doesnt mean you cant get your nails done with the holiday (and Februarys hottest colors) in mind, though. You just have to get creative with all the possible pink and red combos. Fortunately for us, nail artists on Instagram are a step ahead, creating gorgeous pink, red, and combo-color nails that are perfect for February. So, without further ado, keep scrolling for over two dozen February nail art ideas that dont revolve around hearts.

Two-Tone Pink French Mani
@overglowedit
Barbie pink is the look of the moment, making this two-toned hot pink French mani a fabulous idea for February. Best of all, its one mani thats easy(ish) to recreate: With French manicure nail stickers (like the Orly Half Moon Guides, $6), you can section off your nails to paint within the lines and perfect the design.

Hot Pink Outline Nails
@imarninails
Love the idea of adding hot pink to your nail look but prefer a more minimalist design? This bordered set is worth a shot. To bring the look to life, use a fine-line nail brush (like the Beetles Nail Art Liner Brushes, $10) to create the thin outline.

Tortoiseshell Accents
@imarninails
These tortoiseshell and cherry red nails are giving major 90s vibes. Admittedly, theyre also giving a "hard-to-DIY" vibe, so your best bet is to book a nail appointment if you opt for these fun February nails.

90s Supermodel Nails
@imarninails
Speaking of the 90s, a bright red negative space half-moon manicure (or exaggerated French tip, depending on how you look at it) is undeniably chic. Its also an easy set to DIY thanks to the Chillhouses Chill Tips in 90s Supermodel ($16).
