Roses are red, violets are blue, but until V-Day hits, we’re keeping it dark and sultry. From tiny black hearts to midnight skies, these 15 sets are for everyone who wants their January mani to match their moody winter attitude. Sweet pink hearts need not apply.
1. Before Hours
Short squoval nails in deep black with a magnetic, velvet cateye effect that’s serving “unbothered at 2am while your ex watches your story.”
2. It's Love 🖤
Short oval nails in pure white with tiny black hearts scattered like confetti because sometimes love needs a cool-down period.
3. Hush Rush
Sleek black nails with a gold glitter accent and constellation pattern. It’s giving – so what if our love story was written in the stars? Mercury is still in retrograde.
4. Your Grace
Long coffin nails fit for royalty – a pale blue whisper base dripping in jewels and crystals. For when your love story needs more drama and definitely more diamonds.
5. Chemistry
Medium almond nails in a smoldering brick nude, because sometimes dark romance comes in neutral. This set’s giving “dangerous liaison at a dimly lit speakeasy” energy.
6. Our Drips
Pale blue oval nails with airy white clouds and a holographic glitter accent nail topped with pearly 3D orbs because your vibe right now is “catch me in the clouds.”
7. Coastal Dream
Wavy white French tips dotted with tiny black hearts for when you want your love notes written in frost ❄️
8. Front Row
Nude nails with silver wavy tips like frozen tears. Because some love stories are better left in the cold.
9. Bisous
Short square pale pink base with silver glitter French tips, because French kisses (that’s what “bisous” means, btw) are cooler when they’re frosted.
10. Rainbow Rings
Long coffin nails mixing matte lavender, glossy clear, and chromatic finishes. This set’s like a love potion gone wrong – hypnotic, dangerous, and impossible to look away from.
11. Drip Drip Drip
Short squoval nails with trippy pale swirls and raised metallic accents. Like falling in love in a snow globe that someone shook too hard – dreamy, dizzying, and a little dangerous.
12. Floral Jelly
Medium almond nails in smoky taupe with a glass-like 3D texture. The perfect shade for a dark romance novel’s mysterious widow – elegant, translucent, and hiding secrets.
13. Endless Love
Medium almond nails in a blue and black aura design. When your love story is more midnight storm than morning sunlight. This set’s giving “dangerous obsession under northern lights.”
14. Laced Up
Dark burgundy nails adorned with black floral patterns and subtle gems. Gothic romance in nail form – think less “garden party” more “lets meet at midnight in the rose garden.”
15. Friendzone
Short oval nails in a lilac-blue ombre that’s the exact color of “let’s just be friends” (but make it fashion).
