No matter what you’re doing to bring in the new year, your nails have to look good regardless.
In this post, I have found 24 glamorous New Year’s nail designs to welcome in the year. There is a design for everyone, so whether you’re looking for a glam manicure for a night out or more of a simple nail design for a chilled New Year’s at home, there’s the perfect design for you.
1. Cheers to the New Year!
This nail design is the ultimate New Years manicure. New Year’s is all about celebrations and partying, so why not add that to your nail design?
The black nail polish with the white nail art stands out and creates such a statement look; the wine glass design is fun and creative and a great way to create a unique design. Having a mixture of glossy and matte nails is again not the norm, but it works really well.
2. New Year’s Firework
Nude nails are always a great staple, but that added details to this design are perfect for New Year’s. Black, white and gold are the classic colours for New Year’s, and they work so well together. The gold glitter tips with the line detailing are the perfect glitz and glam design to bring the new year in.
3. Ocean Blues
Navy blue is classy, and the matte nail makes it look even chicer. Marble on nail designs have been popular for a while now, and everyone is still loving it, and this is an ideal way of incorporating it into your manicure.
You still get the effect of it, but because it’s only on the bottom of the nail, it’s not too over the top. The gold foil detail adds some glam into the design, which we all want for New Year’s.
4. Luxury French Tip
White nails are a classic, timeless manicure; they are great for many occasions, and New Year’s is no exception. The mixed manicure is clean and classy, and the gold detailing is a simple touch to make them fancier. This is a great manicure for someone who likes simple designs and suits everyday life.
5. Draped in Gold
Tip designs have such a sophisticated look and always look dressy. The black and gold tip is chic and elegant; paired against a nude nail, they create a statement manicure that will definitely have people talking about them. These will look great on New Year’s; although it is simple, it’s an effortless design that doesn’t need too much detail.
6. Confetti
New Year’s is all about partying and celebrating, so why not go all out and have a glitter manicure. This nail design is perfect for the party holiday; it’s a fun yet chic design. Even though this nail design is completely glitter polish, the small glitter makes it look more muted than a thick glitter would.
7. Royal Blue
Blue is a great colour during the winter months; not only does it feel quite wintery, but royal blue is a very elegant colour. Even though New Year’s is a party season, it’s still during the wintertime, so this design suits the season. The white snowflakes against the blue stand out and make it even more eye-catching.
8. Shimmer Stars
The star design is cute, fun and creative; this is a good nail design to go for if you want something fun for New Year’s but still lovely for every day.
The colours work well together and are great for after Christmas as they’re still quite festive without having a Christmas theme. The gold glitter stars are a great way to add sparkle to the manicure, ideal for New Year’s parties.
9. Midnight Black
A black manicure is always such a chic sophisticated to have. The mix between gloss polish and glitter polish is unique and a great way to make a simple manicure more exciting. The short nails are clean and classy, perfect for formal events or even just for everyday wear after New Year’s.
10. Stripes of Gold
If you like simple designs, this manicure is for you. A nude nail always looks classy and put together, it’s not the most exciting manicure, but it always looks presentable.
The gold strip down the middle is a great way of adding a simple detail to create a more exciting design. This is such a sophisticated nail design, it’s perfect for New Year’s parties, and then you can still wear it after.
11. Snowflake Sky
Snowflakes are such a cute detail, and this is a great way of adding them to a design. The white snowflakes against the deep purple stand out and brightens up the whole design.
The silver glitter on top of the snowflakes adds some sparkle and makes them even more special for the end of the festive season. The mix between the nude nail and the nail art creates a nice balance stopping it from being over the top and makes it the perfect manicure.
12. Touch of Glitter
This is a personal favourite of mine; the simplicity of this design makes it look even more special. The swirl design is unique but very creative; the mix between the glitter and the nude nail creates such a statement look but in a classy, chic way. The darker tone of the glitter is great for parties and formal events; it’s the perfect glitz and glam nail design.
13. Winter Sparkle
This is a classic party manicure, and it is a lovely design for New Year’s. White nails are perfect all year round, and on every occasion, even though they are simple, they always create a clean, elegant manicure.
The two glitter nails add something different to the design and makes it more exciting than a plain nail polish. The dark blue glitter is great for the winter season, too, making the design look more festive.
14. Golden Star
Nude and gold work so well together and always create such stylish designs. The gold ombre glitter tips are a cute design, but as it fades into a nude nail, it gives it a more chic look. I really like the shape of this design, too, as it gives it a softer, more elegant look.
15. Black & Gold
The contrast between black and nude is very harsh, but it works well to create a statement manicure. The black tips are a very popular design; adding the glitter outline adds some sparkle and makes them more suitable for the party season. The gold snowflake accent nail makes them more on theme for the New Year’s.
16. Blank Space
This is such a simple design, yet it’s so unique. The nude nail is clean and classy, and the black outline contrasts against the nude and makes the whole design stand out.
The black outline has tiny specs of glitter, which adds a little bit of sparkle, so if you want an understated design that is still suitable for New Year’s, this is for you.
17. White Pearl
This is one of the simpler designs, but its elegant look speaks for itself. Not all designs have to have loads of detail or bright colours; sometimes, a neutral full-colour manicure is the perfect look.
This glazed-type design went viral this year and is still very popular, so it’s a good design to try out for the New year. It’s also a good design to have for a few weeks after, as it isn’t a themed design, so you can have it for as long as you want.
18. Chrome Hearts
Metallic tip designs are such a cool look, and silver is the perfect colour to do it with. It has an edgy look, but the muted silver keeps the design looking very chic and fashionable; it’s a great look to bring in the New Years. The added silver charm on the accent nail adds an extra detail in a subtle way that ties the whole design together simply.
19. Golden Night
Tip designs are a great option for your next nail design, they’re classy, but you can still have fun with the design. Black tips are a great option for New Years; however, the gold glitter detail completes the look and elevates the whole design. It makes the manicure more unique and gives it that special something, perfect for celebrating the New Year.
20. Fresh Start
This is the perfect design if you’re looking for a clean, fresh look rather than a detailed design. Natural manicures have a very classy look; they look great on everybody and are just a go-to for many occasions.
The single diamanté detailing at the tip of each nail is a lovely way of taking a natural manicure and making it more special for the new year without taking away the simplicity of the nails.
21. Emerald Edge
Green has been the colour of the year, and for the winter season, darker shades have been the go-to. This design, in particular, is very unique; it’s definitely one that will get much attention. The subtle glitter detail and only having the green around the edge creates a very distinctive look, and against the nude polish, it really stands out.
22. Cloud Nine
Abstract designs have been popular this last year, so if you haven’t tried them yet, this is the perfect time to do it. White and nude is a great colour combo; it’s neutral, so perfect for anyone, but it’s also a very stylish paring.
The touches of gold are simple yet effective; they add the finishing touches to the look without taking away from the abstract design. This is a great design for New Years, especially if you want to avoid the darker colours.
23. Winter Blues
Metallic nail designs are definitely a trend that is becoming more popular, so why not start the new year with a new trend. Dark blue is such a lovely colour, it’s not a usual for a New Year’s themed manicure, but this is a nice way of making your nail design unique. The square nail keeps the nails looking clean and classy and allows the main focus to be on the colour.
24. Clear Star Sky
This design has such a delicate and dainty feel to it. The natural base is a classic, a nice staple for any time of the year, and it has a fresh start feeling, which is perfect since you’re celebrating the New Year.
The tiny star detailing is such a nice design; it’s detailed but so subtle; the small differences on each nail are an easy way to make the design even more unique and exciting.
