These Expensive-Looking Nail Designs Are Perfect for New Year's Eve

I've had Christmas on my mind so much over the last few weeks that I totally forgot about New Year's Eve. I know not everyone is a fan of the night, as there's always so much pressure to have the perfect celebration, but in my opinion, it's a great excuse to get all dressed up and have some fun with friends and family, whether you're staying in for drinks and nibbles or heading out on the town. After making some very last-minute bookings, I've been on the hunt for a sequin skirt and a pair of knee-high boots to wear on the night. As well as thinking about my outfit, I've started to consider what New Year's Eve nails to go for.

Whenever I'm feeling a bit uninspired with my manicure, I always head to Instagram and TikTok on the hunt for nail designs that take my fancy. After spending the weekend looking through some of my favourite accounts, I believe I've come up with the perfect edit of expensive-looking New Year's Eve nails that will earn you so many compliments. Whether you're someone who likes to make a serious statement with your manicure or if you prefer a more minimal, pared-back design, you've come to the right place, as I promise that I've found something for everyone.

Interested? I thought so. Keep on scrolling for some of the chicest, classiest New Year's Eve nail designs to help you get 2024 off to a glossy, sparkling start.

On New Year's Eve we're all waiting for the clock to hit midnight, so a deep, midnight-blue colour only seems fitting. Plus, how chic does this shade look?

2. Silver Chrome

Chrome nails are so popular right now, and I love this silver design for New Year's Eve. If you plan on wearing sequins, this will complement your outfit perfectly.

3. Stud Detailing

How stunning are these delicate stud details? They looks so expensive with the black base coat and are ideal for any minimalists out there.

4. Gold Glitter

I couldn't do a New Year's Eve nails roundup without including a glittery mani, and in my opinion, gold glitter can look so classy.

5. Metallic Reverse French Mani

Another stunning design for minimalists. Instead of your usual French mani, opt for this reverse nail art and go for a metallic accent colour instead.

6. Dark Green Shimmer

I know green is more of a Christmas colour, but I happen to think this dark shade looks beautiful for New Year's Eve too. Finish with a shimmery topcoat for added glitz.

7. Embellishments

Out of all of the nail inspiration here, this tinsel-tipped mani is one of my favourites. It's the perfect way to add some subtle sparkles to your manicure.

I'm sure you've all heard of the lipgloss nail trend, which essentially involves a super-glossy, high-shine finish. This manicure is great for those who like something a little more subtle but still dressed-up.
