Get ready to explore designs that range from subtly sweet to boldly romantic!

The New French Romance

Who said French manicures had to play it safe? This season, we're loving the bold twists on this timeless classic:

Red French Tips

Take the classic almond shape you love, and add a passionate pop of red at the tips! It's sophisticated yet daring – perfect for the modern romantic. Try Kokoist E-3 Rouge Red for that perfect Valentine's vibe, or go for Luxio Tango for a touch of caliente!

Chrome Dreams

For the bold client who loves to push boundaries, red chrome French tips are having a moment! This look catches the light (and attention) in all the right ways. Create this show-stopping look with Kokoist E-69 Summer Red, topped with your favorite chrome powder.

Magnetic Magic

The magnetic gel trend continues to captivate, and we're here for it! Create mesmerizing patterns with Kokoist Velvet Magnet VM-38 Red Wine or VM-37 Red Velvet. Pro tip: Try creating subtle magnetic patterns just at the tips for a more understated take on this trending technique.

Flirty & Feminine Details

This season is all about embracing those sweet, feminine details that make hearts flutter:

Bow Season

Bows are big this season! Whether you're creating a single statement bow or scattered tiny ones across a neutral base, these darling details are impossible to resist. Pair them with Kokoist E-141S Pink Beige Toffy for that perfect "pretty in pink" foundation.

Heartfelt Art

Hearts will always be a Valentine's Day staple, but this year, we're seeing them in fresh new ways! Try creating magnetic heart patterns (our Velvet Magnet collection is perfect for this!) or layer them in different sizes for depth. For a classic red heart, Kokoist E-305 Hibiscus Red creates the perfect pop against a neutral background.

Fresh & Fruity

Here's a sweet surprise – fruits are making their way into Valentine's sets! Delicate strawberries and 3-D cherries add unexpected charm to romantic designs. Create these juicy additions using Kokoist E-197S Coral Pink Petals for the perfect fruity finish.

Pink Power

Pink isn't just a color – it's a vibe, and we're here for every shade:

Clean & Dreamy

The clean girl aesthetic meets Valentine's Day! Keep it minimal with Luxio Delicate as your base, then add tiny, sophisticated details that whisper rather than shout. Less is more with this trending look!

Bold & Beautiful

Ready to turn heads? Reach for show-stopping shades like Kokoist E-306 Harajuku Pink or Luxio Chi-Chi. These vibrant pinks are perfect for clients who aren't afraid to wear their hearts on their nails!

Pink Palette Play

Can't choose just one pink? Don't! Create stunning ombré effects using our range of pinks, from Luxio Grace to Kokoist E-304 Flamingo Pink. Mix and match for a custom look that's uniquely yours.
