January is finally over, and it felt like the longest four weeks of all time, so I couldn’t be happier for February’s arrival. With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I’m seeing lots of red nail trends on social media, but what other nail colours are set to dominate this month? This is where I come in.
As a beauty editor who writes about nail trends every week, I’ve become a bit of an expert at spotting upcoming shades. Not only that, but I spend a lot of time chatting with some of the best nail artists, as well as being lucky enough to receive the latest nail polish launches before they’re even out. Therefore, I’d like to think I know a thing or two about which February nail colours will be on the most stylish of hands this season.
Yes, red nail designs will certainly dominate, but a range of neutral nail looks are also taking over this month. Below, I’ve rounded up the February nail colours to have on your radar, alongside some of the best polishes to get the look at home.

The rich, deep colour is impossibly chic, and I’ve spotted it on the coolest of people. If you like wearing neutral outfits, then this is sure to add a sophisticated pop of colour.
