The countdown to 2024 is in full effect and lots of people are looking forward to spending New Year’s Eve with their friends and family and ringing in the new year in style. Sure, your nails that you might’ve recently got done for the holidays still look cute, but there isn’t a better feeling than entering the new year with a show-stopping outfit and a fresh set of nails. Between basic nail polish, gel, acrylics, and more, there are so many options to choose from when it comes to doing your nails. And that isn’t even including the color or design you select! With TikTok being the Gen Z social media hub and go-to for pretty much anything, it makes sense that manicure inspo videos are plenty, and these New Year’s Eve 2024 nail designs are no exception..
If you’re still deciding on that dazzling New Years Eve outfit, then use your nail design and color choice as a guide to help you with your shopping or closet-hunting. Without further ado, here are 13 New Year’s Eve nail design ideas that are perfect for any New Year’s occasion.
- Gold Chrome New Year’s Eve Nails
-
For the ones out there that are team gold, these chrome gold nails will pair perfectly with any gold outfit or accessories you wear on New Year’s Eve. Plus, they match perfectly with the champagne you may be drinking (if you’re 21+, of course)
- Garnet Red New Year’s Eve Nails
-
Garnet red nails are not only a good choice for New Year’s, but they also are fitting for the entire month, as garnet is the birthstone for the month of January. So if anyone has a January birthday coming up — or just loves red nails with a neutral outfit — then this nail color is for you.
- Blue Bow New Year’s Eve Nails
-
This bow nail design is stunning. Plus, whenever I think of New Year’s and winter, I immediately think of the color blue. The sky blue in this nail design is bright, the bow is bold and beautiful, and the design on the bottom half reminds me of a corset top.
- Glitter Ombré New Year’s Eve Nails
-
Anything glittery and sparkly is a must on New Year’s. This gold glitter nail is very fitting for New Year’s, and the ombré effect adds a nice, subtle touch compared to an entire glitter mani.
- Deep Velvet Glitter New Year’s Eve Nails
-
If you plan on wearing a blue outfit for New Year’s Eve and also love glitter, why not have a nail design that incorporates both? This deep blue paired with this glitter coat on top is perfect for New Year’s (and almost any time of year, for that matter, because they’re just that pretty).
- Black & Glitter New Year’s Eve Nails
-
If you’re looking for a black nail polish for NYE but want to add some pop to it, this black and gold glitter nail design has you covered. A great option for an all-black outfit.
- Blue Marble French New Year’s Eve Nails
-
This nail design is a true work of art, and allows you to pick more than one design. This blue marble nail is great for New Year’s Eve, and is very original and creative. The French tip and floral design add to the already-innovative mani to truly make this everything you need going into 2024.
- Blue Star New Year’s Eve Nails
-
Speaking of works of art, I feel like this design should be called Starry Night because that’s what it reminds me of. The blue is beautiful, and the white stars are so elegant and really add to the design. If you’re planning on wearing a white top for New Year’s Eve, then this nail is definitely a strong contender.
- Chrome Black & Silver Star New Year’s Eve Nails
-
Bringing back the chrome nails and continuing with the star element, this nail once again will match your glass of champagne. The one coat of black polish allows for that almost gray/dark, transparent background, and the silver and black stars really tie the look together.
- Half Moon New Year’s Eve Nails
-
Since I already included designs with stars, why not also the moon? This “half moon” manicure is referred to as half moon because of the negative space on the bottom towards the cuticle that resembles a crescent moon. It truly elevates any nail look from a basic color to having a dash of sparkle. And who doesn’t love sparkles, especially on New Year’s Eve?
- Silver Tip New Year’s Eve Nails
-
For those that are team silver over team gold, this silver tip look is for you. Why go with a basic French tip when you can add a splash of sparkly silver? This look screams New Year’s Eve.
- Pearly Holiday New Year’s Eve Nails
-
This pearly look is a very good option for a white top look, or if you’re wearing pearls as an accessory. It’s basic, but definitely not boring.
- Black Pearl New Year’s Eve Nails
-
Lastly, instead of your basic French tip, try this black tip nail design that includes pearls. It’s amazing for an all-black outfit, and it’s elegant and timeless.
