5 questions for the expert: Romantic nail design
Is the Valentine's Day look also suitable for everyday life? Can customers of all ages opt for romantic nail designs? Our nail designer Stefanie has answered these and other questions for you so that you can create your most beautiful nail design for Valentine's Day.
ND24: Do your customers choose special Valentine's Day nail designs? Nail designer Stefanie: “In the nail salon, some customers choose kiss mouths or hearts as well as rhinestone applications for Valentine's Day. Nail art is particularly popular with my customers as a decorative nail highlight on just one nail.”
ND24: Are these romantic nail designs suitable for all ages? Nail designer Stefanie: “Anyone can wear Valentine’s Day looks – small motifs on decorative nails are particularly suitable. However, younger customers often have a little more courage and are also braver to implement the looks on a large scale on their nails.”
ND24: Which nail length suits Valentine's Day nails?
Nail designer Stefanie: “The more motifs and nail art you want to put on the nail, the longer it should be - otherwise the image won't have enough space and won't come into its own. Small nail art or full cover looks also go great with short nails.”
ND24: Romantic looks at work - which nail design for Valentine's Day is suitable for everyday use?
Nail designer Stefanie: “In many jobs, red as a full cover or French and French with glitter are definitely possible. Even very subtle nail art on a decorative nail can be easily achieved in some professions.”
ND24: Which nail care for Valentine's Day?
Nail designer Stefanie: “Soft hands are perfect for Valentine’s Day. To keep your skin nice and soft , you can opt for a hand peeling and a hand mask. A paraffin bath ensures super-soft skin and can also be part of your Valentine's Day care program. Of course, it's best if you generally have a consistent care program for your hands and nails in everyday life. In the two weeks before Valentine's Day at the latest, you should regularly apply cream to your hands and use nail oils in the evening to ensure well-groomed skin. During the day you can use light creams and nourishing hand cream foam, both of which are quickly absorbed.”
Well-groomed men's hands for Valentine's Day 👩❤️💋👨
“Men’s manicures are very popular in our studio. Many men choose them for their job, for their own wedding or for special events like Valentine's Day," explains our nail designer Stefanie. Studies have shown that the majority of women pay attention to well-groomed hands in men and find them particularly attractive - a reason why men should also rely on well-groomed hands on Valentine's Day. Our expert says that a classic manicure, which involves trimming and shaping the nails and pushing back the cuticles, is the most popular look among men. Many customers also decide to use a polishing file, which can be used to naturally smooth the surface of the nail and achieve a well-groomed evenness. The surface becomes beautiful for a long time with transparent, nourishing nail polishes . This androgynous look is of course not only suitable for men, but for everyone who loves well-groomed natural nails.
