12 New Nail Ideas for the Approaching New Year
By: Tyler Leik
The clock is ticking with only 12 days left until Christmas. With a slew of holiday parties lined up between now and New Years, there is no better time to start trying out holiday manicures.
When it comes to nail art, anything is within reach. From super minimalistic designs to exquisite artistry, there are designs to take everyone through the holiday season in style. We have compiled 12 of our favorite festive designs below.
Red French
My automatic default when choosing a nail design is always a colorful french tip. It never disappoints. If you want to show out this season, this is the perfect, chic, never aging look.
Metallic French
You really cannot go wrong with a cool french tip, the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re changing the colors, shapes, or length, it simply cannot look bad. While the metallic designs can come with a little extra expense, it is beyond worth it and will catch everyone’s eye at your holiday party.
Graphic French
Are you sensing a trend? This style is perfect if you are wanting to try something a bit more out-of-the-box, all while keeping a chic look. This is a design that you can run with and the possibilities are endless. You do this design with any color you want, even mix and match, or even add additional lines.
Quarter Moon
This is a design that gives you a lot of creative freedom in terms of color and shape. It provides a level of both sophistication and glamor that will surely turn heads and pairs well and with a holiday event of any formality.
Chunky Abstract
This design is super funky and perfect for trying to jump out of your comfort zone and play around with statement designs. You can play around with this design and mix shades of the same color or keep it simple and go all white. This is the type of nail worth posting and deserves to be shown off.
Graphic Lines
Graphic line designs keep things simple while still making a statement. You can mix and match colors, add chrome, or fill up the nail with as many or as few lines as you want to bring an extra edge to your holiday style.
Abstract Chrome Tips
This design is the champagne of nail art. It is so fun and different, yet elevated. All it consists of is your basic french tip, but colored outside the lines in gold. Could it get any better? They will undoubtedly be a conversation starter at any function.
Mix and Match
This design is super fun and really does not get old. It incorporates two types of french, graphic lines, multiple colors, and just feels like the holidays.
Starry Night
These nails have come with less creative direction than some of the other designs, but still offer a really fun moment. Because the gold pairs so well with nude, the look is super simple and chic, while the glitter and stars create a super cool statement to ring in the new year.
Black and Gold
These nails are super funky and the perfect statement to watch the ball drop in. The black against the negative space in and of itself is so fun, but the gold foil gives the design personality and feels like a New Years party.
These designs all encompass the holiday feeling and we cannot think of anything better than taking on the season in a fresh set.
