When it comes to New Year's Eve, I want to be doused in glitter from my fingers to my toes, quite literally. With 2025 coming to a close (just a few weeks to go!), it's time to start practicing my sparkling smokey eye, finding a sequin-covered outfit, and, of course, deciding on the New Year's nail design to see me through to 2026.
The good news: there's no shortage of inspiration for festive manicures. I could go the classic route with a Taylor Swift-approved red or Hailey Bieber-esque chrome. I could opt for matte nail art with intricate firework designs or do a metallic play on a classic French manicure. There really is a New Year's nail look for everyone and every way you want to celebrate, be it a festive soirée or watching the ball drop on your couch. (I'll be doing the latter, FYI.)
