As a born and raised LA native, my birthday falling on Groundhog Day didn’t mean much to me. Not once did I have to subject my friends to sub-zero temps for a night out to celebrate or worry about winter lasting longer than expected because a furry—but adorable—weather forecaster did in fact see its shadow. But now that I’ve been in New York for 11 years, my birthday not only brings me existential anxiety, but also weather-based fear. So this week’s best nail looks are the ones that do two things: 1) put me in a spring state of mind 2) help me manifest the weather that will prove Punxsutawney Phil wrong.
There are some floral looks (I know, how groundbreaking) inspired by one of my favorite painters. Some of my favorite fictional characters are used in some incredible nail designs. And because the day of love also happens to fall over the weekend, I picked more unique Valentine’s Day nails that you could wear all year round if you like them.
