New Years nail designs to try
- Metallics: gold, silver and champagne polish, or black with gold accents, set the New Year's Eve mood.
- Confetti: dab mixed glitter or small dots in several colors over a black or nude base.
- Fireworks: drag thin lines outward from a center point with a striping brush, then add a dot of glitter at the end of each line.
- Clock faces and numbers: paint a clock striking midnight on the ring finger, or spell out the year across both hands.
- Champagne and martini glasses: simple outlined shapes with a few dots of glitter for bubbles.

New Year's Eve nails that last the night
Let each layer dry before you add the next, and add a fresh coat of top coat the day of the party to bring back the shine. If you'd rather not paint, a gel manicure from one of the nail salons near you is another way to go.
