Find your New Year’s look
A New Year’s look can be extra festive. Here you’ll find different looks, so you can choose the one that suits you and your style.
What nail looks are best for New Year’s Eve?
For New Year’s Eve, nails that reflect light are a perfect choice. Glitter, metallic shades like gold and silver, or a magnetic Cat Eye effect are popular options. You can choose a subtle look with a touch of shimmer or go for a fully sparkling design. Consider your outfit and the mood you want to create.
Products for your New Year’s look
To create a long-lasting and festive New Year’s look at home, you need the right products.
Which products do you need for a New Year’s nail look with glitter?
Most Gel Polish looks require a UV lamp to cure the color. You will also need:
- Base Coat as a base layer
- The Gel Polish color you want
- A glitter product, such as a glitter Gel Polish or loose glitter
- Top Coat to seal and add shine
Many of our New Years Looks are complete sets that contain all the products you need for a specific look, excluding the UV lamp and basic products.
Create sparkling New Year’s nails
You can easily add glitter to your nails at home. There are several ways to do it, depending on the look you want.
How do you create glitter nails for New Year’s?
You can choose a Gel Polish that already contains shimmer. Then simply apply the color as usual. If you want to use loose glitter, you can sprinkle it over an uncured layer of Top Coat or Builder Gel. Gently press the glitter down, cure it in the lamp, and finish with a layer of Top Coat to seal the look.
For a Glitter Ombre Look, you can dab a little loose glitter onto the tip of the nail and lightly brush it upward toward the cuticle with a brush before curing.
Cat Eye nails for New Year’s
Cat Eye nails create a sophisticated and festive effect that catches the light in a special way.
What are Cat Eye nails, and are they suitable for New Year’s?
Cat Eye Gel Polish contains tiny magnetic particles. When you hold a magnet close to the uncured Gel Polish, the particles gather and create a streak of light or a pattern. This effect creates a soft look that is perfect for New Year’s Eve. After creating the effect with the magnet, cure the color in your UV lamp.
