New Year's Eve Nails



New Year's Eve is an exciting holiday with all kinds of glitzy decorations and lights. Today I'll be showing you how to do a super shiny and sparkly manicure for the holiday or any other time you want to add some sparkle to your look.

Step 1:


Start with a base of a neutral metallic or micro glitter. I used Bold Gold from Maybelline's Color Show collection.(it is one of the holographic polishes). Apply as many coats as it takes to make it completely opaque.

Step 2:


Pick out some chunky glitter polish and apply that over the metallic base. I used a glitter that had a variety of colors (Wet n Wild Fast Dry - Party Of Five Glitters). I did one coat on each nail and multiple coats on my ring finger to make it an accent nail.

Step 3:


Add a coat of your favorite top coat to smooth out the glitter and make your manicure long-lasting.

Alternatives:
- Silver & Gold alternating base with colorful glitter
- Silver & Gold alternating base with Gold & Silver alternating on the opposite color base
- Dark Purple Base with chunky glitter
- ACCENT NAILS!

I apologize for not putting this up earlier. Maybe a New Year's resolution will be to plan ahead more... Anyways, I hope you all have a fun time tonight with your friends and family!
