Southern Living's editorial guidelines Updated on January 22, 2024 Olive & June When choosing a new nail color of the month, February sits on a pendulum between us wanting a cozy winter color that goes moodier or muted and us tempted to dive headfirst into Valentine's Day season with a romantic cherry red, sweetheart baby pink, or even a flirtatious metallic shade. February is here with all the options to complement your signature style without feeling like you're getting stuck in a cold-weather rut. No matter if there are social plans on the calendar or a relaxing movie night at home, it never hurts to feel festive for the occasion, even if it's just making one of our adorable Valentine's Day Cookie Recipes or enjoying a self-care spa night. It's a winter month that also wants to feel exciting, so why not welcome it with a new festive manicure? Here are 15 nail colors for February that we're swooning over.
