Heartbeat nail designs typically include a little line that mimics the ups and downs of a heartbeat on an ECG. You know, those squiggly lines you see in hospitals that go beep, beep, beep? To make them more romantic and beautiful, cute hearts are often incorporated into them.
The EKG lines can be created using various techniques, such as stamping, painting, or using nail stickers. The hearts can be added using nail art pens, nail stickers, or by painting them freehand. Some popular color combinations for heartbeat nail art include black and red, white and red, and black and gold.
1. Neon pink heartbeat nails
Compared to some cold, clinical screens, when you paint ECG lines on your nails, they’re CUTE. Also, using vibrant neon colors, like a pink neon lifeline accented with a small heart, adds a 3D effect to it.
2. Shimmery heartbeat nail art
Look at how glamorous these nails look! Black hearts and lifelines really pop up in a subtle shimmery background.
This nail art proves that Heartbeat nails aren’t just for Valentine’s Day. They work year-round for anyone who loves small, meaningful nail art that’s still Insta-worthy.
3. Heart nail design for short nails
If you have got short nails, this design is for you. What’s unique here is that the nail artist also added the “love” written calligraphy along with other accents, which makes it a pro-Valentine’s Day manicure look.

Want something unique? Try a heartbeat that flows across all your nails when placed together—like your fingertips tell a love story. You can purely follow the theme of this nail art by adding a sunset background to it.

If you’re feeling edgy, a matte black background with a heartbeat detail gives a subtle, high-fashion vibe.

For those of you who are into the whole galaxy vibe, have the heartbeat line in glow-in-the-dark paint. Imagine that at a club, your nails are literally glowing with life.
9. Heartbeats
These nails are incredibly popular for milestone occasions like anniversaries, weddings, or Valentine’s season. And, just don’t forget to pair them with delicate rings to complete that soft, feminine look.
10. Heartbeat acrylic nail design
Why stop at just the heartbeat line? Throw in some tiny hearts at the peak of each beat. It looks way more romantic and cute than just an up and down going line.
11. Green heartbeat manicure
Paint your nails in green, and then use white for the heartbeat design. This reverse approach can be very dramatic and stylish.
If you’re feeling bold, you can mix the heartbeat design with other elements like tiny hearts, glitter accents, or even rhinestones for a glam touch.
12. Double-side ombre
Heart nail designs are perfect for expressing love, whether it’s for someone special, yourself, or even a passion that makes your heart skip a beat. They carry a subtle message—like a whisper of emotion—that’s both stylish and meaningful.

These heartbeat nail designs are pure romance but with a modern twist. The bold red polish on the outer nails immediately grabs attention, while the middle nails tell a heartfelt story.

This design has a sweet, almost storybook charm—ideal for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or even as an everyday reminder of love and joy. It’s the perfect marriage of minimalism and romance!

I could see this lovely pink and black nail design thriving in both casual and dressy settings. Pair it with oversized sweaters and cozy fits for a soft romantic look, or let it complement a statement leather jacket and ripped jeans for that cool-girl aesthetic.
15. Cool heartbeat nails
These nails are ideal for the summer or spring season. Bright colors like light blue and pink are perfect for this time of the year. Do pink and blue ombre on two fingernails and a lifeline element on the rest of the two fingernails. Easy right?
