As I get closer to saying au revoir to 2024 and bonjour to 2025, I’m already thinking about how I want to bring in the new year—and what better way to do that than with a festive manicure? Whether you’re preparing for a night out with friends or catching Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest on television with the fam, a fresh set can put you in a more celebratory mood.
If you need some inspo, ask yourself these questions: Do you want your hands to sparkle like the NYE ball? Or would you rather bedazzle your nails in sequins to match your sparkliest outfit? How about getting a jumpstart on the latest nail trends like a reverse French mani or French ombré nails before the clock strikes midnight? The options for New Year’s nails are endless, so I compiled 45 designs that will stand out the most. Bring these inspo pics to your next nail appointment or try to recreate some of them right at home.
