As far as classic accents go, tiny red or pink hearts make for a fun manicure any time of year, not just the second week of February. But if you're wearing hearts from January to December, how are you going to make your mani feel different for Valentine's Day? We've got a few ideas.

Our favorite manicures of the moment are loosely inspired by Cupid, flowers, and all things love. But just like your favorite poppy-red crewneck sweater, these nail looks are timeless and a little flirty. Plus, this chic art is perfect for a romantic at-home date night, or just your average Friday in February.

From a baby-pink French to a minimalist bare nail with a teeny red heart accent, check out the coolest Valentine's Day nail art taking over Instagram right now, ahead.
