As any good rom-com would impart, wearing your heart on your sleeve can be a dangerous endeavour. Best case scenario: the music swells, your object of affection leans in, and a romantic declaration (or two) is met with unbridled enthusiasm. Worst case: you play prisoner in a glass cage that ends with your brutal murder (see: You, or the literal manifestation of every girl's living nightmare upon creating a Tinder account).
With stakes like these, it is probably best to play it safe and keep those hearts locked away. Instead, display your affection for your loved ones this V-Day by deckin' them out on your nails instead. Above, the designs to try to set hearts aflutter — yours included.
