Spruce patterns
Decorated Christmas trees and fir branches are one of the main themes of New Year's manicure. In this case, the paintings may be different:
- with clear drawing;
- stylized;
- collected from rhinestones and crystals.
The main background should be the color of gel polish from deep blue to snow-white with hints of mother-of-pearl.
An interesting addition to a manicure of this type would be:
- tinsel;
- Garlands;
- silver rain;
- serpentine.
No less appropriate would be the use of gold and silver on the nails, because the Christmas tree does not have to be green. The Christmas tree can also be lined with rhinestones or crystals.
A fantastically interesting decor will be the image of a fabulous winter forest, as if descended from the pictures of books.

It is worth saying that on world catwalks they prefer this kind of not too pretentious design. There is no arguing about tastes, and we are glad that today there is plenty to choose from.
Beautiful ideas for New Year's manicure designs
Scandinavian patterns
Very often, when creating New Year's nail designs, Scandinavian patterns are used, which can be very diverse - from snowflakes to all kinds of animals, beautiful trees, Christmas tree decorations.
New Year's stripes
New Year's stripes applied to the nail plate look very stylish and at the same time elegant. Therefore, they are a very interesting trend in New Year’s nail design.
Strips made of foil, rhinestones, kamifubuki, glitter - and this is not the whole list of original ideas for creating a stylish manicure.
Santa Claus drawing on nails
The image of Santa Claus is perfect for a New Year's manicure. So that he doesn’t get bored alone, on the neighboring nails they depict figures of funny snowmen, bullfinches, bear cubs and other cute animals.
Even fans of a laconic manicure, deciding to portray Santa Claus, will incredibly lift their spirits and give their manicure a special piquancy and festivity.
New Year is a time of sparkle, brightness, tinsel. Therefore, the New Year's manicure must be decorated with shiny rhinestones, sparkles, snowflakes; surrounded by them, the main character of the New Year's celebration will be simply irresistible.
Deer on nails
The inseparable friend of Santa Claus, the Scandinavian deer, is increasingly present on the nails of fashionistas in winter manicure. A strong and noble animal is depicted in the form of a funny muzzle of a deer from a cartoon, the whole figure is drawn.
The composition, located on several nails, of reindeer harnessed to a cart, looks especially impressive. On a black glossy base, such a picture in blue, white and brown tones looks simply luxurious. You can decorate your manicure with rhinestones and crystals.
New Year's drawings
Thematic designs will never go out of style. They add playfulness, festivity, and complement the image. Master artists are highly valued in the world of nail art. Of course, you can get by with stickers or stencils, but this all loses to real art. You can depict a lot on your nails: from toys and cartoons to real landscapes.
It is important to understand that artistic design is very demanding in terms of length. Since we are talking about New Year's manicure on short nails, we need to focus on the following:
- Length of the nail bed. The shorter the nail plate, the more laconic the design should be. It’s better to depict a toy, a snowflake, a Christmas tree or a cartoon face than to try to paint a winter night in a limited space. A heavy pattern with fine detailing on a small nail will merge into one incomprehensible spot. While one artistic element will not affect the overall direction of the idea.
- Main color of gel polish. He can be anything. It is only important that the drawing does not get lost against the general background, but “plays” beautifully, setting the tone for the entire image.
- Use of auxiliary decor (rhinestones, stones, etc.). It is rare that a design requires additional decoration. Of course, a small rhinestone in the center of a snowflake or star will perfectly complement the idea, but an overload of stones will make it look “expensive-boho” and will hopelessly ruin it.
Christmas trees
Like snowflakes, silhouettes and branches of Christmas trees are a classic subject for creating a New Year's mood. Christmas trees can be carefully drawn with a thin brush, glued or transferred to the nail using stamping.
Don't forget to decorate your Christmas trees with toys in the form of rhinestones or bouillons.
A strict matte blue polish goes well with rhinestones and a simple herringbone pattern painted on a white background; learn how to pull off this manicure in the video below.
A manicure technique using adhesive tape and a little glitter polish will help turn a basic white manicure into a New Year's manicure:
- Unstick the adhesive tape as shown in the picture and apply a second coat of varnish.
- remove the tape and use a clear coat
- Decorate the Christmas tree with a star or rhinestone.
New Year's glow
Glitter is one of the options for decorating the coating. They can be completely independent, or in addition to the main design line. Sequins go perfectly with any style. They add a special charm to New Year's design. But again, you should not abuse them, so as not to turn into a “magpie”.
Sequins can be plain, colored, or with a holographic effect. A delicate scattering will perfectly decorate dark gel polish and add airiness to the coating.
Blue New Year's manicure
You can add brightness to your image with a New Year's blue manicure. This color of varnish will look wonderful paired with rubbing, rhinestones, matte top and, of course, glitter.
Beige New Year's manicure
Beige New Year's manicure for short nails, like white, is incredibly versatile. In addition, it looks very noble, especially when paired with a matte top. Another advantage of a beige coating is that it can visually lengthen a short nail plate.
New Year's kamifubuki
New Year's confetti always looks fun and funny. And not only on the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve, but also in the design of nails in the form of kamifubuki. Iridescent red confetti applied to the transparent background of one of the fingers or to all nails at once will be very interesting.
You can also make a fun snowy manicure using kamifubuki in silver shades of different sizes and white polish. Due to this, an imitation of snow is created on the nail plate.
Plain
A very good choice. A monochromatic coating in any situation, perfect for New Year's Eve and for everyday work. A universal nail polish color, such as nude, allows you to create any look and goes with any style.
The monochromatic coating is loved by absolutely all fingers: both thin and plump. On the latter, an oval in delicate tones, which can have a pearl or shimmer base, looks especially advantageous.
Ombre
The second name for fashionable decor is gradient. The design combines shades in a smooth transition from one color to another. For New Year's decoration, a color gradient in combination with a gold-colored gel web is suitable. This design looks stylish and elegant.
With foil
Bright and rich shades of foil look very beautiful under a matte top or stained glass varnish. They draw attention to themselves and completely complement the image of a coquette or a sexy seductress.
Knitted design
In winter, knitted designs gain popularity and are associated with a cozy sweater that keeps you warm in cold weather. This decor looks perfect on long and short nails in soft purple, cream, peach, blue and other shades.
In addition, the design can be decorated with New Year themed designs in the form of snowmen, deer, and Christmas trees.
Blue and cyan
Classic winter colors are blue and light blue. Which can also be perfectly combined with main colors.
French
This New Year's season, French manicure should also shine and shine. Therefore, the jacket needs to be decorated with foil, sparkles and rhinestones.
A white jacket with prints of silver, gold or red foil looks very stylish and festive.
Gold, silver, black, blue and red jackets in a shiny design, or with the addition of sparkles and rhinestones, will look beautiful and stylish.
The classic white delicate jacket looks gentle and fashionable in combination with sparkles and snowflakes.
The French jacket looks elegant and gentle in combination with monograms, sparkles and rhinestones.
A white jacket with a Christmas ball pattern on the nails will look very gentle and original.
Rubbing
What tiger can resist the metallic shine of the rub on his nails? This New Year's season, the shine of the rub will come in handy.
You can decorate all your nails with the rub, or you can apply it only to a couple of fingers and combine it with some shiny jewelry.
Minimalism
This festive New Year's season, the minimalist design will fit perfectly into any color New Year's outfit.
Pastel colors with small accents in the form of a snowflake pattern, a few neat rhinestones or a drop of sparkles will look very stylish and easy.
Snowflakes and winter patterns
New Year's nail art is almost complete without the use of winter patterns and carved snowflakes. It is important to use such a winter theme for a discreet manicure.
It is enough to draw a few delicate snowflakes on the selected nails and you will get an unobtrusive manicure in the New Year and winter theme.
Manicure option with snowflakes
Winter patterns in the form of monograms are the most popular to use for New Year's manicure, as they look very stylish and feminine.
Color solutions for such art can be different, but the trend is dark shades of the background and white drawings of snowflakes or winter patterns. In addition, decor is used: sparkles, rhinestones, foil, etc.
Winter landscapes
Drawing all the subtleties of winter landscapes takes a long time and not all masters can do it. In this case, nail art is done in different ways: they paint the nails with acrylic paints or gel polish, do airbrushing or simply use stickers.
White New Year's manicure
White color never goes out of fashion and goes well in manicure with various designs and other colors.
To create a manicure in the appropriate theme, simply apply white polish to your nails and highlight a couple of nails with shiny designs, for example, snowflakes or Christmas balls. If this proposal seems too simple to you, then you can decorate one of the fingers with a voluminous composition of beads or rhinestones in the form of a ball or bow, and use small sparkles to cover the adjacent plate.
Drawings in the form of cows, fir branches, snowmen and Santa Claus hats look very impressive on a snow-white background.
Pink manicure with glitter
Pink color is still considered the most favorite shade of many women, so it is often chosen as the main color for creating a manicure.
To make a pink manicure more festive, you can use pink glitter. In 2022, it will be popular to apply glitter exclusively to one or two nail plates on each hand.
Black manicure with glitter
In 2022, it will be fashionable again to create an elegant look from clothes in black shades, so as a complement to such a look, it is worth doing a manicure based on black varnish with the addition of glitter.
Sparkles make the classic black color more interesting, so the manicure immediately becomes incredibly festive. A black manicure with glitter is definitely worth considering for New Year 2022.
Delicate matte manicure with sparkles
Some women love nude and matte shades to create a chic manicure that looks elegant and beautiful.
Therefore, you shouldn’t give up your usual tastes on New Year’s Eve; you can only complement the matte manicure with glitter. This should only be done on one or two nails on each hand. It will look incredibly romantic and tender.

Golden New Year manicure
Cartoon New Year's manicure
New Year's holidays are associated with fun, jokes, and laughter. During the long New Year holidays, no one is afraid of a strict office dress code. Therefore, women want something unusual that cannot be depicted on their nails during working hours.
A bold design idea: a cartoon manicure attracts many ladies with the cute faces of familiar characters and bright colors on the nails.
The most popular images were the mischievous Mickey Mouse, the dogs from the “naughty family,” and the gnomes. Recently, the omnipotent hero of the Eastern fairy tale, Jin, has become more often depicted. It is characteristic that his bluish complexion fits perfectly into a winter manicure.
The nail, saturated with the image of Genie, looks great in the delicate environment of snow-white nails decorated with rhinestones or glitter.
Asterisks
Another design that will appeal to lovers of universal manicure is images of stars. For a festive look, you can use glitter against a rich background.
Stickers with stars look impressive against a rich background: blue, black, burgundy, etc. To make decoration easier, you don’t have to draw “celestial bodies”, but use star-shaped sparkles.
