If this January has taught me anything, it’s that I want to start my new year in February. That’s when Lunar New Year starts anyway and February is my birthday month, so the vibes just immediately sound better. It’s been chaotic, sad, and heavy. But at least my favorite nail looks of this week are anything but, and are proving to be a very much needed bright spot.
As I try to disassociate with *gestures at everything,* I’ve found a lot of fun designs and prints that I can’t wait to try the next time I book my nail appointment. This week reaffirmed my belief that animal print will be the biggest nail trend of 2026. There’s textured, calf hair-like cheetah designs and the ever popular deer print that earned an instant save on my IG. I don’t think it’s too early to think about summer and there’s some bright nail art inspired by some classic summer desserts that caught my eye. And for everyone who can’t wait to celebrate the one they love this Valentine’s Day, there is a lot of pink nail art that you should definitely consider for your V-Day mani.
