If you do not like the classic bloody tone, try replacing it with more interesting shades: Marsala, wine, burgundy. And you can also make the red color matte, you get a mixture of classics and modernity.

• Refined jacket. French manicure will probably never go out of style. This elegant design is able to emphasize any image, complement it, while not drawing attention to itself. Of course, a classic jacket implies a fusion of flesh and white colors, but following this rule is not at all necessary, the main thing is the idea.

• Monochrome manicure without decorations. Such a design can also be attributed to the classics, to those times when nothing was known about rhinestones, kamifubuki and other nail decorations. Here it is recommended to build on two solutions: to choose a tone to match the color of the outfit, or to focus on the color scheme of the coming year.

Themed nail designs are the perfect choice for the New Year. Like most holidays, the New Year has many symbols that can be interestingly played in your own image.

In symbolism-oriented manicure, it is permissible to use:

• snowflakes;
• Christmas trees;
• snowmen;
• images of New Year's toys;

• sophisticated frosty patterns;
• deer;
• images of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden;
• salutes and fireworks;
• splashes of champagne.

Beautiful snowflakes are a trend that has gained popularity long ago. They look especially elegant on cold colors: dark blue, blue, black. A great solution would be to make silvery snowflakes on a dark blue background. A blue, red or white jacket, complemented by gold or silver snowflakes, looks very subtle.

Small Christmas trees can also be a good addition to a jacket. In addition, on the eve of the New Year holidays, in the assortment of nail shops, you can find many stickers depicting a variety of types of Christmas trees. And having made the perfect hand-made drawing by a professional craftsman, you will definitely ensure yourself a good mood for several weeks.

It is best to choose a dark background, as the pattern will look faded on a light or bright one. The same recommendations can be given for the design in the form of fireworks and champagne splashes.

Those girls who want to fully correspond to the theme of the coming year can be advised to adhere to the symbols of the Eastern horoscope. Here, the design of the outfit and manicure will be within the "wishes" of the animal this year belongs to. It is a good idea to use appropriate color combinations, but it is better not to apply images of the animals themselves.

Speaking of fashion trends, it is worth noting, first of all, a few colors that never lose their popularity both in a monochromatic version and as an addition to another tone.

• "Caviar". Small bouillons are a real hit in the nail industry. It is worth remembering that the best effect is achieved only when only one nail is decorated with them, for example, on the ring finger. Thanks to this design, you can add volume to your nails and draw attention to them. "Caviar" looks very original on short nails.

• Rhinestones. Decorating with rhinestones is an enduring hobby familiar to everyone who has visited a professional nail service at least once.

When choosing a festive manicure, you should familiarize yourself with the most interesting and fashionable nail art techniques that the master is ready to offer. In addition, many of them can be done on your own. The main thing is to develop and implement the concept of a manicure a few days before the celebration, thus, in case of a mistake, there will be time to correct and improve the design.

One of the most popular and simplest techniques is the striped manicure. To perform a similar technique, you will need special strips or improvised home remedies that can replace them: strips of paper, scotch tape. Apply a coat of the nail polish of your choice and let it dry well. Then, alternately gluing the stripes, apply the following layers. At the end, the finished manicure will need to be covered with a fixative.

Gradient designs are famous for their subtle color transitions that look so beautiful on nails. Blue, light blue, greenish tones will be an excellent choice. To perform such a manicure, you will need to purchase a special sponge. Dip it in varnish, gradually seal the product to the nail, wiping the skin with a cotton swab.

Thus, using several varnishes of a similar shade, you can create a beautiful subtle transition.

Gold or silver shimmery nails are perfect for New Year's Eve. Such a design in the light of garlands will take on a completely different look, adjusting to the desired, festive mood.To bring such an idea to life, you only need two items: foil and special glue.

Apply polish to your nails, let it dry. The next step will be to cover with glue in the selected location. Apply foil to wet glue, let it dry. Over time, the foil can be easily removed with a brush. The last step is the application of the fixer.

This is a newfangled technique that has already gained popularity among girls and women. It is quite possible to do it at home. To do this, you need two types of varnish and a stamp. Paint your nails with base varnish, wait until dry.

Then cover the stamp with an additional color, hold it to the nail for a few seconds. In the end, it only remains to cover the nails with a fixer.

Another interesting technique that will allow the color of your nails to be effectively refracted in the artificial light of the garlands. The design really resembles shards, and it can be either monochromatic or multi-colored. It is best to use colors that match the theme of the New Year, complementing them with silver and gold.

Of course, the ideal solution would be to make a similar design in the salon, however, you can try it at home. To do this, you need hard cellophane, which can often be found in flower shops, or foil. Regular bag making material will not work.

We cut the material into pieces, apply varnish. We are waiting for it to dry, then cover it with a transparent top, on which we immediately apply cellophane. Make sure that the pieces of material do not overlap. Once the top is dry, cover it with an extra coat of varnish. An exquisite manicure is ready.

When choosing an image for New Year's Eve, you must strike a balance. This means that all the elements of the bow must be effectively combined with each other, there are no unnecessary trifles, everything forms a whole picture. That is why it is very important not to overdo it when creating a manicure, creating a lurid and overly defiant design. Let's consider the most suitable combinations for outfits of different colors.

• With blue. The blue color is calm, cool and self-sufficient, and therefore you should not complement it with bright warm tones. Choose a manicure a few shades lighter or a design done in a silver color.

• With red. Red is a rather dangerous color, so here you will have to comply with the norm of decorations and decorative elements. If your dress is rich or unusually decorated, choose a solid glossy or matte manicure. If the outfit is simple and modest, be sure to pay attention to your nails. Large rhinestones, kamifubuki, broths and sparkles will complement such an image in the best possible way.

• With black. A black dress is a sign of aristocratic taste; it is appropriate always and everywhere, including on New Year's Eve. Choose a manicure with dark elements, this will highlight the outfit well. Black jacket with silvery snowflakes, black moon manicure are incredibly popular. It would be a good idea to complement the dark New Year's manicure with "granulated sugar", sparkling stripes, glitter, kamifubuki.

• With green. Green is freshness, the smell of pine needles, memories of the forest and summer grass. However, you need to choose a manicure carefully. If you have short nails, don't get carried away with the design. The best solution would be to use one or two rhinestones on the nail, or draw a modest little pattern on the ring finger. With long oval nails, you can embody more ideas using chic acrylic sculpting or massive gems ornaments.

• With mint. Having decided to wear a mint dress, you need to think over a manicure in advance. The mint color is incredibly delicate, so it's best not to use a rich, bright design.Choose subtle pastel, beige tones, pale pink or lilac looks beautiful. You can decorate a manicure with small stones, rhinestones, stripes.

• With blue. With a blue dress, a manicure a tone or two darker will look beautiful. "Sugar", a large amount of sparkles on one finger, silvery snowflakes and New Year's toys look elegant as a decoration.

• With burgundy. Luxurious rich burgundy color does not tolerate the presence of low-quality manicure. Here you will have to work especially carefully, eliminating the slightest defects in the nail plate. For the coating, you can choose both glossy cherry and matt varnish in Marsala color.

Designs of outfits made in gold and silver tones require special mention. It is very important here not to overdo it with glitter, otherwise the image will turn out to be overly bright. There should not be monochromatic nails in such colors, limit yourself to delicate nude and pastel tones. But it is quite possible to depict a small strip, a pebble or thin lace on the nails.

It is important not to overload the image: everything needs balance. A sophisticated manicure should balance out a fairly calm outfit. A simple and elegant dress will suit both a calm manicure and a creative one: it all depends on your idea.
