40 Great Nail Art Ideas – New Years Nails

Ok I admit it, I am phoning it in this year for my New Years Nails. I'm acutally sharing with you what I wore on Christmas, but I figure it works for New Years as well.



Yes these are colored snowflakes, but if you blur your eyes, they could also be colored fireworks! Hahaha, so sorry for phoning it in for this Crumpet's Nail Tarts challenge, but I have family in town and I just have not had a second to do actual New Years nails.



Ok now for the details. The base of this mani is the amazing Painted Polish 2016, which I realize right now is also appropriate for my New Years nails. This is a gorgeous linear holo with silver holo microglitter and beautiful iridescent flakies. This polish has it all, in the shade the flakies shine and in the sun holo comes out to play. Sooooo pretty, couldn't stop staring at this polish.





And for this manicure I broke out the clear stamper, which I purchased from What's Up Nails (super fast shipping, so approve), and stamped various snowflakes in several colors using my Jolie Polish stamping polishes!

So that's all you get from me this New Years, sorry it took me so long to put this up (this was due last week), but I'm getting it in just under the wire. Well for the west coast that is!

Don't forget to check out all the other ladies who actually put some effort into this prompt, unlike me (SOOO sorry!!!).

My New Year's Nails

So I'm still on break from work, yay, spending a whole lot time to myself which has been amazing. Been prepping some ideas for the blog in January, catching up on my nail blog browsing and commenting, procrastinating on taking Christmas decorations down and relaxing my butt off!

So anyway, I did fit in some time to do my nails yesterday and I'm wearing these for my New Year's Eve celebration in. My husband and I don't have any grand plans, most of our friends our out of town for the holiday unfortunately. So we are planning on spending the evening in, drinking some great red wine and watching our hockey team play a game.

So onto the look! What I was going for here was a champagne colored polish which looked similar to ORLY Mirrorball, which we are all currently obsessed with right?!?!



So here are the stars of the show F.U.N. Lacquer TGIF and Painted Polish Blinded by Bubbly (which is SOOOO amazing).



This was my first experience with a F.U.N. polish. TGIF is a gold linear holographic polish with gold flakies as well. The polish was a little sheer and required three coats for this opacity. To create the Mirrorball-esque look I added one coat of Painted Polish Blinded by Bubbly on top. They matched pretty well.



For the final look, I stamped an image from my Lily Anna 06 plate which has a star look to it. I liked it okay, wasn't as classy as I wanted it to be, but it's not like I'm going out or anything, so it'll do.



Wasn't as blingy in the sun as I wanted it to be, but oh well. What do you think of this manicure? What do you have picked out for your NYE mani? Share with me on my Facebook page, I'd love to see it!
