Mix & Matched Nail Art
Jamie Ahn, co-founder of J&S Nail Polish, created this Valentine's Day nail design using J&S Nail Polish in Jet Black and Jealous, Aspen Ice and Cherry Bomb.

Get the look:

To create dots, pour a small amount of polish onto a hard, non-porous surface. Depending on how large you want your dots, either dip a Q-tip (with all traces of cotton removed), a toothpick or a bobby pin into the polish and tap onto nails.

To create a perfectly even French tip line, Ahn says to hold the nail flat on a table, start the line with polish and then and move your finger, not the polish brush.

Metallic Nail Art Design
Skip the hearts and go for a glam, Gatsby-esque Valentine's Day nail design that's sure to stun. Sally Hansen's Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole designed the look based on Stella McCartney's Autumn 2015 show.

Get the look:

Step 1: Apply two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Let's Snow.

Step 2: Paint a large gold moon with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Party at the base of the nail with a detail brush.

Step 3: A few millimeters below the gold, paint a second moon with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Pat On The Black, leaving a line of gold above it.

Step 4: A few millimeters below the black, paint an even smaller moon in Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Diamond Jubilee.

Step 5: Allow colors to dry and apply a topcoat.
