Mix and match
Another nail option for you is to strike a balance between colors and designs. That means you can take a love-themed shade and pair it with another color that’s completely off the spectrum. Other than that, you can also play with glitters as well as other designs for a dramatic effect. If it has never been done before, well, now’s the time to try out that combination.

Kisses
What’s a good love story without some good ole kisses? If heart-shapes don’t cut it for you but you still want to stick to the theme of the moment, then try to incorporate lips into your nail design. The good thing about this is that kisses design can work alone and also work well as part of a theme. For example, we’ve seen the lip emoji blended with crystals, glitters, solid colors, and everything in between.
