As the year comes to an end and we gear up to welcome a fresh start, our nails deserve some extra attention to make a lasting impression. New Year’s Eve nail designs offer a myriad of creative opportunities to express your unique style. “Think festive themes, loads of sparkle, and holiday elements, like chic countdown clocks, champagne, or playful confetti,” says manicurist Nicole Cruz. “Embrace bold patterns and glamorous designs to make a statement.”
Whether you prefer glamorous metallic shades, eye-catching embellishments, delicate floral designs, or minimalist chic etching, there is a nail design to suit your taste. “With so many holidays and so little time, what do you do when your mani needs to last through the winter holidays? The answer is always sparkle,” says celebrity manicurist Rachel Messick.
