If you're really trying to deck out your nails, go with a glitter ombré design. This holiday nail art just feels like new and exciting beginnings. 

Paintbox's description is spot-on: "true white dipped in decadent glitter." Sounds like fun is on the horizon with these nails.

Another minimalist way to approach New Year's is with no color and just a hint of gold foil. It's abstract but undoubtedly stunning.

Sometimes scoring a New Year's Eve-ready manicure is as simple as sectioning each nail horizontally in half with a holographic foil tip. We're going to call it futurisitc-chic.

These half-and-half pink nails immediately caught our attention. The silver glitter squares really make the design pop.
