My alter ego is out to play, and she’s rocking these “Raunchy Red” nails from Death Valley Nails. 💅 She’s confident, she’s fierce, and she’s not afraid to get what she wants! ❤️‍🔥 These nails are the perfect for unleashing your inner vixen.

Death Valley Nails’ 2025 Valentine’s release got me thinking about some of their past Valentine’s gems, and I had to pull out “Till Death Do Us Part” from 2024. 💖 This jelly thermal is hot – it shifts from black to a pinky mauve, and the micro pink flecks, holo glitter, and shards are perfection. 😍

A Black child’s hand lying atop a Caucasian adult hand. Both hands have their nails painted in an aqua shimmer nail polish. The adult hand has a gray sweater sleeve while the child’s hand has a lime green winter coat sleeve with triangle patterns on it. The background is a warm gray tone that is wet concrete.

A selfie of masculine presenting swimmer in a lap pool. They have clear racing goggles around their neck and are wearing a light pink swim cap. They have a thick brown beard and mustache. Their nails are painted light blue, light green and white shimmer and they are holding their three middle fingers up to their chin smiling.

👋🏻 I’m Brad & I love to paint my nails! I rediscovered my love for swimming. I’m a gay dad with a lovely husband and 7yo transracial adoptive daughter. I was dx’d with Crohn’s disease in ‘22. These are some intersections you’ll see throughout my content. #nailpolishisforeveryone #nailpolish #guynails
