27 Super Cute Heart Nail Ideas That Will Steal Your Heart
1. Red, Pink and White Heart Nails
Isn’t this just the perfect combo? The bright red color with the pink and white base makes the heart design pop so much!
I love how the hearts aren’t drawn too neatly—they have this slightly messy, effortless vibe that makes them even cuter.
And that bold pearl ring paired with the cuff of a white shirt? It pulls everything together into such a chic and feminine look!
2. Pastel Heart Nails
This is definitely a nail design that’s perfect for when you want a soft, delicate look or when you’re rocking a pink outfit!
First, shape your nails into a long almond shape. Then, do a pink gradient base, and on top of that, draw cute hearts with white, red, and soft pink colors.
I’ve already picked this one to try for sure!
3. Glitter Heart Nails
Did you just cut your nails really short? Or do you prefer shorter nails?
If so, you should definitely try this short heart nail design.
Start with a pink base, then add a gradient in the center of the nail with a reddish-pink color in a round square shape.
After that, draw a 3D heart with glittery silver on top, and you’re done!
I think this nail design is super easy to try, but still cute and unique!
4. Red Hearts with Colors
It’s the same hand as the one I showed you earlier, right? But this color combination is so pretty too!
They mixed dark khaki, light gray, and red, applying each to different nails, and then added a red heart as a cute little accent on the gray nails.
I especially love how they added more hearts on the thumb because it’s a bigger surface area—giving it a cute yet sophisticated vibe.
This design really suits medium-length, rounded square-shaped nails!
5. Chocolate Brown Heart Nails
Hearts don’t always have to be red, right?
If you love chocolate brown or your outfit is more neutral, you should totally try a heart nail design in chocolate brown.
The key is to layer the hearts, making them look like they’re spreading out.
This one might be a bit tricky to do on your own, so save it and show it to your nail tech when you go to the salon!
6. Cute Unique Heart NAils
If you’re into subtle designs rather than bold ones, this heart nail is perfect for you!
But it’s not just a plain design—before sticking on the transparent 3D heart-shaped stickers, they added tiny pink flowers, creating a unique yet softly pretty heart nail look!
7. Blue Heart Nails
Honestly, this one’s not really my style, but it’s definitely unique!
Blue hearts are drawn on each corner of the nail, with a sparkly effect to give the nails a distinctive look.
It’s something you could easily try on your own, and you can express it in different colors.
I think someone will definitely love this, so I’m sharing it!
8. Negative Space Heart Nails
This design features a French tip with a plain nail and just one heart added.
The square shape, with a deep blue color and a light pink base, gives it a clean yet eye-catching look.
It’s simple but still has that little extra touch!
9. Tiny Heart French Tips
For this one, you start with a long oval shape and a soft pink base.
Then, draw a thick heart with white pink, and add a couple of tiny pearls or rhinestones—about 2 or 3 on each nail.
It’s a subtle yet cute design that would go perfectly with any outfit!
10. Gold Heart Nails
This is the neutral version of Skittles nails!
You start with a gradient from beige to deep brown on each nail, and then add a gold heart pattern on top to finish it off.
You could totally recreate this design in any colors you like!
11. Nails with a Single Heart
I think this is perfect for anyone looking for a super simple heart nail design!
You start with a pink gradient, then just add a tiny, cute heart at the tip of your ring finger.
You could totally swap out the colors and it’d still look great, right? This design really suits almond-shaped nails!
12. Feminine Heart NAils
I think this heart nail design is perfect for someone who often wears feminine outfits.
Start with a milky white base and gently add small red heart patterns to create a cute and sweet nail look.
Don’t forget to pair it with a few rings that match the vibe!
13. Pink French Tip with Tiny Hearts
I think this is such a delicate heart nail design! I actually feel like it would be perfect for a wedding—what do you think?
The nails have a thin, detailed pink French tip, and a gold line crosses vertically across the nail with two pink hearts drawn above it in different sizes.
It’s elegant and sophisticated, so it’s definitely a great choice for when you need a more formal, graceful nail look!
14. Ombre Heart Nail Art
There was a similar idea earlier, but this one has a totally different vibe, so I had to share it!
You start with a long oval shape, blending light pink and dark pink in an ombré style.
Put the dark pink in the middle, and then draw a heart shape in the center of the nail with the light pink base.
It’s super simple to try at home, and I think you’ll be really happy with how it looks once it’s done!
The only tricky part might be drawing the thin heart shape, though.
15. Thick French Tip with Hearts
This design involves applying a slightly thicker French tip all over the nail, then drawing a tiny heart on each of the French tip boundaries.
I think this is definitely something you can do yourself!
I’d recommend experimenting with different color combinations to make this heart nail design your own!
16. Black Heart Nails
Black heart nails are super charming! Just a few small hearts can make your nails pop, and I think it’s the power of black that makes it work so well.
You can either place black hearts over a white French tip or along a white vertical line—such an easy design to replicate!
It’s simple but adds a great point of interest to your nails!
17. Metallic Heart Nails
I’ve got a design ready for people who love square nails!
The contrast between the muted sparkling red and the matte pink is pretty bold, right?
On top of the pink nail, a red heart surrounded by tiny rhinestones really stands out. Add gold and pearl rings, and you’ve got a super glamorous heart nail design!
18. Simple White Heart Nails
This design uses glossy light pink on long almond-shaped nails with a simple white heart as the focal point.
It’s a perfect cute design to try when you’re tired of more elaborate styles.
The subtle color goes well with various outfits, and if you want to add a bit more flair, just accessorize with some rings!
19. Black Subtle Heart Nails
Here’s another black heart nail design!
It features tiny contrasting hearts, two on each nail, with symmetrical rhinestones added for a balanced touch.
It’s the perfect simple yet fresh heart nail design for those who want something subtle but still eye-catching.
20. Classic Red Heart Nails
Looking for a bold heart nail design? Are you a fan of red? Want to feel like a strong woman this week?
Then I highly recommend this design! Glossy red, matte red, and matte white are applied on square nails, with a glossy heart as the focal point.
This heart nail will definitely stand out and outshine any nails your friends may have done!
21. Transparent Heart Nails
This design is similar to the black heart nail design I showed you earlier, but with some differences in color and style.
It features two red hearts like the previous one, but with larger rhinestones—three on each heart. Instead of being symmetrical, the rhinestones are scattered to fill in the empty space.
The base is left transparent, which gives it a clean and crisp look. It’s a slight variation, but both designs have their own unique charm!
22. Adorable Heart Nails
I’ve shown you a design with hearts at the corners before, but this one feels a bit more organized, right?
The colors are applied in steps, and only the top part of the heart peeks out from the same corner, making it a cute, slightly shy heart nail design.
This one is perfect for people who want a subtle yet adorable heart design!
23. 3D Heart Nail Art
Now, this is definitely a ‘I’m all about hearts today’ nail design.
The red heart is drawn to completely fill each nail, and then 3D pearl rhinestones are placed around the heart to give it a truly popping heart look.
It’s cute, simple, and unique, making it fun to try out. This design seems perfect for college students too!
24. Dark Grey Nails with Hearts
Lastly, here’s a design perfect for those who want to try heart nails but aren’t confident drawing hearts themselves.
While this is labeled as dark gray heart nails, the base can be swapped out.
The key feature here is the heart shape! Notice something unique?
The heart shapes are actually cut from felt-textured stickers and applied to the nails! Pretty clever, right? Nail design ideas are endless!
25. Thin Diagonal Gold Stripe with Hearts
To recreate this heart nail design, start by shaping your nails into black stiletto tips. Then finish with a French tip.
Next, add a thin diagonal gold stripe across your nail and draw a black heart on it.
It’s simple, yet beautiful and unique, right?
26. Heart Contrast Effect
This heart nail design is pretty unique, right? Shape your nails into a long almond style, then paint half of the nail with a deep pink and red.
For the heart shape in the center, use the opposite color for each side.
It gives a bright and cheerful vibe, making it a perfect heart nail design for spring and summer!
27. Transparent Black Color with Hearts
Here’s another one for those who love black!
Paint three nails with solid black, and for the other two, apply a transparent black color, then draw about eight black hearts on top.
If you can nail the heart shapes, this is a stylish heart nail design you can easily try at home!
