25 Classy New Year’s Nails to Ring It In Right

New Year’s nails get to be a little louder than everyday classy, this is the one holiday where extra shine actually reads appropriate instead of excessive.

What I love about New Year’s specifically is the mix of textures clients ask for, chrome, glitter, and deep color all show up in the same appointment.

Here are the 25 classy New Year’s nails my clients keep requesting.

Classic Chrome for New Year’s

A full chrome set is the most requested New Year’s look, mirror-bright and unmistakably festive.

Black and Gold for New Year’s

This combination is the most classic New Year’s pairing I paint, dramatic and endlessly elegant.

Glitter New Year’s Nails

A little glitter goes further than a full set for clients who want sparkle without full commitment.

Short New Year’s Classy Sets

New Year’s shine reads just as festive at a shorter length, my go-to recommendation for a low-maintenance party set.
