Valentineโ€™s Day is right around the corner. And for some women, the holiday can be life-changing. 

According to The Marriage Proposal Survey, February 14 is the most romantic day of the year to propose. The occasion trumps Christmas, New Yearโ€™s Eve, and even the first-day couples met. 

If you arenโ€™t a fan of surprises, then consider this your fair warning: Your lover may get down on one knee this Valentineโ€™s Day, so make sure your nails are photo-ready. 

Thereโ€™s nothing worse than making the big announcement with a photo of your ring, that reveals grown out cuticles and nicked nail polish. 

Keep the moment magical with these dreamy nail designs.
