Everyone likes a beautiful manicure, but plain nails quickly get boring. And if regular polish is easy to erase and repaint, then the procedure for removing gel polish takes a lot of time, and after that you need to let the nail plate rest and recover. Therefore, before covering your nails with gel polish, you need to carefully consider the design.
Herringbone gel polish
The “Herringbone” design is considered one of the most popular in the winter season. And this is natural on the eve of the New Year holidays. Although some ladies choose this design even in the summer, although a schematic image is used more, which does not resemble a Christmas tree with New Year's decorations.
Stylized image
If you value conciseness and simplicity in everything, then you will certainly like this simple nail design with a Christmas tree. A white Christmas tree on a black background looks very impressive and modern. To draw a Christmas tree on your nails in this style, you don’t need any special artistic talents.
It is better to perform a manicure with gel polish - it lasts much longer, so it will decorate your nails throughout the New Year holidays. But if you don’t have a special lamp, then you can use regular varnishes. All you need is black and white polish, a fine paint brush and a top coat. We will not describe the implementation of this manicure step by step, but rather invite you to watch a master class with a detailed video.
With rhinestones
Shiny manicure is wildly popular at New Year's parties. The light falling on the rhinestones transforms the nails, making them somehow unearthly. Well, it’s simply impossible to take your eyes off!
Types of Christmas trees
- Before you start gluing rhinestones, you need to carry out the standard procedure for coating your nails with a single-color gel polish. Don't forget to apply the base first.
- After applying the top coat to the nail, it does not dry, but begins laying out the rhinestones in a zigzag or triangle.
- Once the layout is ready, the coating is dried in a lamp. Then each rhinestone is outlined with a thin brush with topcoat and again polymerized with ultraviolet light.
Christmas tree using rhinestones
This is the simplest Christmas tree with gel polish. It takes little time to construct, and any beginner can do it.
Stylish graphic manicure
Another very simple to implement but effective design. You don't even need basic artistic skills to create it. You will spend very little time on this manicure, but the result will exceed all your expectations.
All you need is dark green, red and gold nail polish, nail tape, glitter, a fine brush and dots. A simple design at first glance will be a worthy addition to your look on this festive night. You will find a master class with instructions on how to draw a Christmas tree on your nails step by step in the next video.
The most successful color combinations
It is very important to choose the right color of nail polish for your New Year's manicure.
- Red and burgundy
Classic colors for the New Year are all shades of red and burgundy. These colors are always associated with winter holidays, and especially when they are combined with white or gold.
- Blue and cyan
Blue color can also be used to create a completely new New Year's manicure. But blue colors are more associated not with the holiday itself, but more with winter itself. However, winter is very often associated with the New Year, so blue manicure is an excellent solution for your manicure. Again, you can consider combinations of shades of blue with white.
- Shades of green
And of course, you can’t ignore the color green. This color is good not only because it is ideal for a New Year's party, but also because it can be combined with so many colors, for example, white, red, gold, turquoise, blue or black.

Manicure with a pattern of white spruce branches
If you want something more sophisticated and sophisticated, then try an airy, but at the same time very festive manicure. White spruce branches with garlands and shining balls look interesting and unusual.
Compared to the two previous options, this manicure is somewhat more difficult to perform. You will need blue gel polish, white and black acrylic paint, manicure foil, stained glass paint, glitter and a thin brush. Carefully watch the proposed video with the master class, be patient and get to work. You will definitely succeed!
Choice of design and color
Perhaps the most difficult thing is to choose a manicure design. It’s difficult to choose on ordinary days, and what can we say about the New Year, when everything should look perfect. Many people mistakenly think that New Year's manicure means Christmas trees, snow maidens and snowflakes painted on nails, but do not be so mistaken. It is enough to make sure that your nails match the color of your outfit, and different designs are not at all necessary. But if there is a desire, then why not? On your nails you can paint a deer and a snowflake on a red background or try a manicure in white and blue, which will also symbolize the New Year.
The winter holidays are also a great time to try something new. If you are used to a delicate manicure, then try something different, add more rhinestones and choose colors that you could not think of before. You can also reconsider the shape of your nails.
If we continue to talk about colors, we cannot help but note that dark, saturated colors make the image a little richer and more luxurious, and the same applies to nails. However, you should always pay attention to the combination of your nails and your outfit. Dark colors may make a girl look more luxurious, but if the color of the nails does not match the color of the outfit, then the image will be completely ruined.

Decorating techniques
New Year 2022 is the year of the Blue Water Tiger. This means you should add a tiger print, shades of blue or metallic shine to your manicure. Therefore, everything that we wanted to do, but did not work out, we boldly put into practice! After all, dreams and desires must come true! So, what kind of beauty can you create for the New Year?
painting
Painting is a classic New Year's nail design. And, of course, it must correspond to the holiday.
- Snowflakes and stars;
- Christmas decorations;
- Christmas trees and spruce branches;
- Frost patterns;
- Cartoon characters;
- Sweets, bows, New Year's socks, mittens, watches;
- Winter landscapes.
The painting works well with all decorative elements: rhinestones, kamifibuki, stripes, glitter, sand. And, of course, stamping and sliders are a real salvation.
Knitted sweater
Knitted items will always be relevant. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a scarf, a sweater or marigolds. The universal, unobtrusive design is appropriate absolutely everywhere: in the office and at a corporate party.
New Year's cartoons
Returning to thematic painting, it is worth mentioning that stickers, sliders, stencils, airbrushing, and stamping will come to the rescue. All New Year characters are used as heroes, including the owners of the outgoing year and the New Year:
- Santa Claus and his reindeer team;
- Rats and Bulls;
- Christmas trees and spruce branches;
- Bows, Christmas tree decorations, New Year's wreaths;
- Phrases with wishes;
- Sweets;
- Boots and mittens;
- Snowmen and penguins.
Metallic
More metal, more hi-tech! Gold, silver, platinum, steel, bronze, metallic gel polishes, rubbings - everything is trendy, everything is in fashion. Coating is possible on all nails or only on one or two fingers.
Glitter
Glitter will make any design festive. Flickering in the light of New Year's garlands is associated with magic and sparklers. Glitter can be combined with any color of gel polish. Beautifully complemented by the drawings. Can be used to create a French or gradient pattern.
Rhinestones
Decorative elements that perfectly enliven any design, making it brighter and more interesting. If the artistic composition consists entirely of stones, the main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to end up with a “pirate chest” on your nails.
Kamifibuki
For those who don't like rhinestones, kamifibuki are perfect. They come in different shapes: hearts, diamonds, hexagons, circles... Most often they are an independent decorative element, but can complement a jacket or pattern.
Broths
Once upon a time, bouillons were used as an auxiliary element, closing the voids between stones or rhinestones or complementing designs. But in 2022, eggs will become an independent decoration. They can cover the entire nail and create a gradient. This is possible by using broths of different colors.
Cobweb
The cobweb has firmly entered the arsenal of nail art masters. It allows you to create thin lines without spending a lot of time on drawing. “Gossamer” looks great with foil, “broken glass,” rhinestones, holography, rubbing, and inscriptions.
Foam
This design appeared relatively recently. Absolutely independent, requiring no additional elements, it quickly won the hearts of craftsmen and fashionistas. It is carried out very quickly, and the result is always gorgeous. Color background – any.
Flock
Incredibly warm and cozy “velvet” design. Performed using “suede” powder. Glitter is often added to flock. Then the coating, especially in white, turns out to be even more interesting: as if fresh snow sparkles on the nails.
Classic
Classic design is the base. Those who choose the classics for the New Year don’t think at all about the fact that vacations and holidays will end and they have to go to work. They calmly use their wardrobe, without worrying at all about combinations of clothes and manicure. In general, lovers of the classics feel light and free in any situation.
Matte manicure
Matte nails will always be in fashion. This coating can be perfectly decorated with whatever your heart desires. The matte finish creates a warm and cozy mood. During the New Year's holidays, you should pay attention to dark, deep colors: wine, night sky, deep blue or green, black.

White New Year's manicure 2021
White color never goes out of fashion and goes well in manicure with various designs and other colors. In addition, this is one of the main colors of the New Year 2021, so snow-white nails with a festive print, patterns and sparkling decor are a win-win and universal option. 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.
