New Year's Eve Nails: common questions
What nails are best for New Year's Eve?
Gold, silver and glitter nails are the New Year's Eve classics because they catch the light. Black with gold, champagne glitter and mirror chrome also look good in party photos.
Can I wear my Christmas nails to New Year's Eve?
Yes, if the set is not too Christmas-specific. Gold, silver, deep red or glitter sets work for both nights; a glitter top coat or one chrome accent nail refreshes them for New Year's.
How do I keep New Year's nails simple?
Choose short nails with one effect: fine silver glitter, glossy black with a single gold star, or a nude base with gold foil on two nails.
