Year-end parties are your cue to bring out your most extra self. From shimmering outfits to bold beauty looks, the countdown to the new year calls for a little drama and a lot of sparkle. But while fashion and makeup set the mood, it’s your manicure that quietly steals the spotlight.
Whether you’re heading to a house party, dancing the night away at a club, enjoying a rooftop dinner or keeping things low-key with someone special, your nails deserve just as much attention as the rest of your look. From high-shine chrome to delicate sparkle and elevated nail art, we’ve rounded up the trendiest NYE manicure ideas making the rounds online right now.
Bookmark these styles before your final nail appointment of 2025 and step into the new year with a manicure that feels fresh, festive and anything but ordinary.
You really can’t go wrong with a deep, almost-maroon red, especially when it’s finished with a hint of glitter. It feels festive without being too much, which is exactly what makes this manicure such a smart pick for the end of the year. Wear it to Christmas dinners, office parties and low-key catch-ups, then keep it on as you roll straight into New Year’s Eve. The subtle shimmer catches the light beautifully, adding just enough sparkle to feel celebratory, while the rich red base keeps the look grounded and grown-up. Cosy, polished and versatile in the best way.
