In 2026, love shows up on nails in many facets: soft, minimalist, graphic, or expressive. The trend is moving away from kitschy patterns toward aesthetic heart details that are seamlessly integrated into modern nail designs. Nude shades, milky tones, and fine lines take center stage—enhanced by matte finishes and elegant French variations. Especially in demand: subtle hearts on clean nails. But maximalists won’t miss out either—with intense colors, bold shapes, and striking full-coverage looks.
