This year’s New Year’s Eve is weird. But, these New Year’s nails are the perfect thing to pair with your sweatpants and a bottle of champagne. Because, it’s the time we’ve all been waiting for: the end of 2021! (And for our nails to finally dry.)

New Year's Nail Designs

We’ve found New Year nail design ideas that are full of confetti, gold and silver embellishments, velvety deep purples and blues, and enough bling to send a distress signal to the person in the apartment across from you. How else are you supposed to let them know you’re out of popcorn?

 

19 New Years Nail Design Ideas

1. Starry New Year’s Eve Nails

New York City nail artist Naomi Yasuda creates this NYE-inspired confetti manicure that is simple in design but heavy in the festivity. That’s how we weigh everything. The people in the produce department love us.
New Year's Nails - Rainbow Stars

 

2. Pink Glitter New Year’s Nails

Use nail tape and glitter polish to create this look by Paintbox. Don’t forget to layer it on top of a Pepto Bismol shade of pink to remind you that fun always comes with consequences.

3. Shiny Polka Dot Press-On Nails

These gorgeous jet black and gold glitter press-on nails are reusable so you can use them throughout the roaring 20s. Available on Etsy.

4. Gold Star NYE Nails

These glimmering nails by Betina Goldstein that feature Nails Inc. Seeing Stars Duo are worthy of all the gold stars. Here’s hoping 2022 earns at least two of them.

5. Matte Black and Gold New Year’s Eve Nails

Manicurist Eunice Park creates a classically bold look for New Year’s Eve with matte black polish, gold-lined cuticles, and coffin-shaped nails. Which, coincidentally, is exactly where we want this year to go.

6. Galaxy Nail Design

If you’re an astrology or astronomy nerd, then these purple galaxy nails by Hey, Nice Nails! are the perfect New Year’s Eve manicure. Use a metallic purple as your base and top with a starry clear coat. If you screw up, just tell someone you’re a Pisces rising.

7. Abstract New Year’s Nails

Michelle Humphrey uses Bio Sculpture shades in Contour, French Creme, Whitney, and Chrome Catalyst to create abstract nails that mimic those post-ball drop streamers. Use a detail brush to create this abstract look.

8. Crystal Press-On Nails

There’s pretty much no way you can be too extra on New Year’s. These crystal press-on nails prove that more really is more. Like with money!

11. Gold Glitter Manicure

15. Countdown Nails

Gracie creates this detailed timeless design perfect for New Year’s Eve or someone who is just really obsessed with time. Recreate this look using Ella+Mila shade La La Land, Madam Glam color Perfect Black, and Kiara Sky Nails in Strike Gold, a detail brush, some nail tape, and a stopwatch.
