What should be the current New Year's manicure for 2018? The coming year is already upon us and it’s time to make an appointment with your manicurist in order to have time to get your hands in order before the cherished night. Masters are vying with each other to offer unusual options, and on social networks there are a lot of ideas and designs for creating an interesting manicure.
Before the New Year, everyone tries to make a bright, noticeable manicure that matches a dress or a thoughtful holiday look. As a rule, the ideas are similar - more glitter, bright colors, lots of red and gold. The drawings for which are also offered are approximately the same - snowflakes, Christmas trees, snowmen...
If it’s really important for you to stand out and have a unique manicure, we offer you a selection of rare but trendy designs and coatings for New Year’s manicures - according to the latest in nail fashion and aesthetics.
The coming 2018 is a year of calm, cool shades, so don’t rush to paint your nails with traditional scarlet varnish. When choosing the perfect tone for New Year's Eve, first of all, pay attention to the following shades:
- gray-blue and gray-blue;
- shades of beige and light pink;
- cream, coffee, cocoa color with milk;
- blue, purple, wine shades with a “cat’s eye” effect;
- all shades of lilac and lavender with a dash of grey.
We will talk about many of these trendy shades in more detail: what design to combine with, what nail shape to choose for a certain tone, etc., and we will also tell you what nail designs will be in trend exactly on the night of January 1st.
The sea is agitated once: manicure in shades of the stormy sea
Despite the lack of associations of the gray-blue marine color scheme with the New Year, stylists highlight this particular palette as the most relevant for celebrating 2018. The rich colors of the stormy North Sea don't limit you to just one or two shades.
In this range, you can choose a light varnish the color of ice blue, a dark blue shade with a very small splash of gray and green - the color of the sea depths, a muted gray-blue color of the twilight sky... Just the name of the shade of your varnish will give you a reason to chat with your girlfriends for half of New Year's Eve!
It is better not to overload the exquisite colors of the northern palette with design. Make it a solid color and decorate a few nails with small rhinestones, or sprinkle some silver glitter on your little finger. You can diversify a plain manicure with decorations for the phalanges of your fingers.
The ideal nail shape for this color is long with a sharp tip and a rectangle with soft corners.
2018 shades of beige
It would seem like a boring color, but beige has so many shades that finding your perfect beige is not so difficult. This is another color that is not associated with the New Year holiday, although if you use your imagination, you can choose the color of eggnog or creme brulee for your manicure.
Any color is suitable for a trendy manicure: from yellowish and milky white to almost brown tones - coffee, chocolate, light shade of cinnamon. Nude shades on nails are best combined with glitter polish, shiny rubs and sprinkles, as well as foil designs. Beige color looks good on oval and round nails of medium length.
Cats in Paris: French manicure with a fashionable effect
To prevent cats from scratching your soul on New Year's Day because of a bad manicure, opt for a unique design - a non-standard French manicure in combination with cat-eye polish. This option looks great in dark shades: blue “cat’s eye” with a black matte tip of the nail, purple “eye” with a black or burgundy tip, etc.
In addition, coatings with different effects go well with French manicure: from a matte finish to holography and all kinds of sparkles. The ideal shape for design is square and rectangular nails.
Swan Princess: manicure with a feather image
We continue the theme of a fabulous New Year 2018. The actual painting of nails on New Year's Eve will be the image of a feather - light, airy, unusual and festive. Choose feathers to your taste. For example, to attract good luck and wealth, knowledgeable people recommend drawing a peacock feather.
If you're having a costume party, paint dream catchers or Indian-style feathers on your nails; For a '20s-style look, paint fluffy feathers with lots of gold glitter. You can combine “feather” designs with varnishes of 1-2 different shades, as well as with a shiny or “metallic” coating.
Sense of style: New Year's manicure in the style of "minimalism"
Minimalist design in nail aesthetics is a bright and long-lasting note. On the eve of 2018, you should get a trendy manicure using thin metal strips of foil. The most current option is an even vertical stripe cutting the nail straight down the middle, or thin horizontal stripes.
This design will suit any outfit, because the base varnish under the stripe can be anything: from transparent to black, burgundy, green, gray, etc. To give your nails a more formal and elegant look, you can add shiny decor to your design.
For example, cover the halves of a nail separated by foil with different colors - glossy on one side and shining on the other. The wonderfully minimalist design looks in beige and gold tones and is suitable for any nail shape, medium or longer.
Individuality: separate design for each nail
As we head into 2018, diversity will be the trend. To follow this trend, decorate each nail in a special way. You can simply choose different shades of varnish for each nail (but within the same range or style), or choose an individual design.
For example: cover the little finger with metallic varnish (or foil), the ring finger with matte black varnish, the middle finger with a transparent base with an ornate pattern, the index finger with matte black again, the large finger with transparent or black color with rhinestone decor.
Experiment with shiny types of varnish – glitter, “broken glass”, combining them with a matte finish or stone-effect varnish. Plus, don't forget about rhinestones and painting. Ideal nails for complex designs are long and tapered at the tips.

New Year is everyone's favorite holiday. This is the night when miracles happen. Almost every person wants to believe in a fairy tale, which is why it is customary to make wishes at midnight.
The Christmas tree is decorated, the house is cleaned and decorated, gifts are prepared for everyone, guests are invited, the menu is thought out - everything is ready for the start of the holiday. But no less important is what to celebrate the New Year in. On this night, every young lady wants to look attractive and feminine. This means that you need to think through your own image down to the smallest details - outfit, shoes, accessories, jewelry, hairstyle, makeup and, of course, manicure. Well-groomed hands are the calling card of every representative of the fair half of society.
For a fabulous night, you want some special and interesting design for your nails. New Year's manicure is an opportunity to turn into reality all those ideas and wishes that do not correspond to everyday life.
Peculiarities
The basic rule of New Year's manicure is as follows: forget about rules, stereotypes and norms! Allow yourself something that you would hardly do in normal life. A classic French manicure, a passionate bright red color, glitter and pearlescent tints, an unusual design, an extravagant pattern, rhinestone decor, New Year’s or even children’s themed designs and much more – all these options are suitable for a New Year’s manicure.
Design ideas
Every year, the topic of New Year's manicure and fashion trends for holiday nail design is discussed at professional forums, in various women's communities and simply in live communication. There are options that do not lose their popularity from year to year.
The most common design ideas that are of great interest among girls are:
- Correspondence to the theme of the symbol of the year.
- Winter theme (with snowflakes, Christmas trees, garlands, Christmas tree decorations, snowmen, imitation of frosty patterns on glass or splashes of champagne, sparkling fireworks and beautiful fireworks, with a painted Father Frost or Snow Maiden, and even with deer in Santa Claus's carriage).
- Manicure in the “classics of the genre” style (classic French, moonlight, reverse moonlight, contrast, lace, ombre).
- Design with rhinestones and sparkling glitter. Try to correctly combine the colors of varnish and rhinestones so as not to overdo it with brightness and shine and not look vulgar.
- Always fashionable and relevant - red manicure.
- Artistic painting (both New Year's themed and universal nail art).
- A stylish play of contrasts (a combination of gold and silver with shades of black, emerald, dark blue, burgundy, deep lilac is suitable for New Year's Eve).
- Original design: marble or natural stone, classic French with a shiny base, “broken glass”, imitation of a cracked nail surface, ethnic motifs, designs with emoticons.
- Manicure using the “cat eye” technique or manicure using special sand.
Fashion trends
Everyone knows the phrase that fashion dictates its own rules. And you should prepare in advance for any holiday and think through your image. For example, today stylists offer many nail design options for a spectacular New Year and Christmas look.
For those who try to keep up with fashion, stylists recommend paying attention to the following variations in women's manicure designs.
"Broken glass"
A fashion trend that has found a response in the hearts of a huge number of contemporaries. An ideal nail design for parties, youth get-togethers, and holidays. Festive nail art, made using the 3D technique, is characterized by brightness, chic and sparkle.
Abstract and thematic design, “gasoline” glass with rainbow tints, spectacular snowflakes in a harmonious combination with a soft milky or light blue background - all this will be relevant and interesting in terms of design for the New Year holidays.
Geometry
The trend is a combination of diverse geometric shapes and elements. This is achieved through the use of different techniques, brushes of different formats and even varnishes of different colors.
Gradient
"Caviar" style
Thanks to the use of broths, you can give your nails volume. This fashion trend has been in demand over the past few seasons and is not going to lose its popularity according to the opinions of manicurists.
Marbling
A novelty in the world of nail design is the option of designing it to look like stone (in particular, marble) by creating spectacular “veins.” The combination of milky with black “veins” or black with golden “veins” are the most fashionable variations of this year. Coating with a matte top coat will give the manicure maximum resemblance to natural marble.
Decorations
Beautiful nail design - this can only be the first part of the New Year's manicure. Phalangeal rings remain in fashion, with which you can cover both part and the entire finger. For a festive night that happens only once a year, some excesses are allowed.
Mehendi on hands - henna painting of hands. Just find a master who will make the drawing beautifully and elegantly. It will be interesting to look at the drawing that gradually “crawls” from the hand onto the nails. This requires work in tandem between a manicurist and a henna artist.
How to do it at home?
Doing a New Year's manicure yourself at home will not be difficult. Let's consider several original options.
Option 1 – creating a geometric pattern on the nails:
- Remove old polish, remove cuticles, polish the nail plate and shape your nails (round, rectangular, pointed).
- Apply a base coat that protects the nail from direct contact with the polish.
- The first layer is golden or silver varnish. Let dry thoroughly.
- Stick strips on your nails (can be purchased at any store with a wide range of manicure products) in the form of a geometric pattern. Such stickers can be applied to two or three nails of each hand, or to all five. The final design of the manicure depends on this.
- The second layer is a red glossy varnish, applied to the surface of the nail plate, including strips of adhesive paper. After the polish has dried, carefully remove the stripes.
- Third coat: Apply nail polish sealer to your nails.
Option 2 – “draw” a Christmas tree on one of the nails:
- Preparatory stage or hygienic manicure. Rounded or square shaped nails are suitable for this design.
- The first layer is the base or base.
- The second layer is a varnish of a light pastel shade (light beige, milky, pale blue, light yellow).
- Attach two strips of adhesive to the nail plate. The shape is a triangle, the base of which goes to the nail hole.
- Third layer – paint the triangle with a rich green varnish. Let dry. Now apply a varnish with large shimmer that will imitate Christmas tree decorations. After the varnish has dried, carefully remove the strips. The Christmas tree should be made on one finger of each hand.
- Fourth layer - cover the entire nail with a dull, colorless varnish or varnish with small sparkles.
- Fifth layer – apply nail polish fixer to your nails.
Option 3 – create a garland:
- Get a hygienic manicure.
- Apply a protective layer - base coat.
- Cover your nails with a light-colored polish. A milky tone is best.
- Take a regular black (dark blue, gray or brown) cotton thread and lay it out in a curl on one of the nails. Cover the nail with a colorless matte varnish. Trim the hanging edges of the thread.
- Glue multi-colored rhinestones. Place them directly next to the thread that serves as the base of the garland.
- Apply a final coat of varnish.
- Cover the nail with a sealer to make the design last longer.

Have you just recently joined the ranks of home manicure lovers? And the next interesting task for you is a New Year's manicure at home?
Then read our tips carefully! We have a few simple but very effective ideas in stock!
First you need to learn a few simple tips.
- If you are facing a magnificent and crowded celebration, then decide what you will wear. Manicure must be matched to the outfit and communication situation. But modern trends do not advise using nail polish color that exactly matches the outfit. It is better to choose a few shades lighter or darker. You can choose accessories in the same color as your manicure. If you want to become an example of style, study modern fashionable combinations of shades.
- Don't be afraid to create brighter and more eye-catching designs. Almost all of January people are in excellent, high spirits. Nobody plans very important things for these days. Everyone visits their many relatives and receives guests themselves. Therefore, bright nail polish, sparkles, funny designs of Christmas trees and snowmen will not cause indignation in anyone.
- If you want to choose a manicure that should serve you not just one evening, but two or three weeks, then the design should be universal, not too flashy. French, lunar, knitted, gradient manicure is suitable.
- Consider the length and shape of the records when choosing a design. For long nails, large volumetric elements (for example, acrylic sculpting), all variants of French manicure with a pattern, and moon manicure are suitable. For short plates, knitted, lace patterns, longitudinal lines, and sequin designs are preferred.
- If you prefer gel polish and did your manicure long before the New Year's Eve, then on New Year's Eve you can decorate it with rhinestones or draw a pattern using regular polish. After the party, the drawing can be erased with acetone, while the gel polish will remain in place.
