Manicure for New Year 2022 according to Eastern tradition
Next year will pass under the auspices of the Blue Water Tiger. Accordingly, on the night of the New Year, the following colors and combinations are recommended for admirers of the Eastern calendar:
- main color is white. You can use the natural tones of tiger skin - sand, terracotta, smoky white, yellowish white, as well as green and olive. Blue and light blue are the trending colors of the year, but they need to be used with caution;
- gold and silver foil, including “liquid mercury” and casting, gold and silver sparkles, sequins, rhinestones;
- images of the Tiger in all forms, from origami-style silhouettes to stickers with naturalistic 3D pictures;
- all types of floristry, including luxurious images of tulips, violets, morning glory or peaches, since the Tiger is close to nature;
- symbols of water - images in the form of foam waves, marble surfaces, transparent or blue crystals, rhinestones;
- aquarium equipment with bluish tones.
You should not use tiger prints - the Patron of the Year may perceive such decor as a competitor. Also, too bright, neon, fiery and orange varnishes are prohibited.
Manicure colors 2022
Color this New Year's Eve, as opposed to the length and shape of nails, will matter. After all, the year, whose mascot is the Blue Water Tiger, dictates its conditions in the color of clothing, the color of makeup, and nail art. But even those who live without paying attention to various horoscopes and signs will still be guided by fashion. So, what colors will New Year's Eve 2022 offer us for nails? Of course, all the best! These will be:
- all shades of blue and cyan;
- white, red and green are the main New Year's colors that are relevant every holiday;
- wine and burgundy shades;
- yellow, including gold;
- silver and grey.
- And also brown and transparent, because wood and water are the main, along with the tiger, mascots of the coming year.
- Orange and black will also be present, but only as accents.
New Year's symbols on the nails
Common symbols that bring happiness or reflect the characteristics of the year will help to emphasize the festive atmosphere. For example, a horseshoe made of crystals, a star or a clock
Pink manicure with glitter
Pink color is still considered the most favorite shade of many women, so it is often chosen as the main color for creating a manicure. To make a pink manicure more festive, you can use pink glitter. In 2022, it will be popular to apply glitter exclusively to one or two nail plates on each hand.
Gold decor for New Year's manicure
The tiger loves the shine of gold, and this decor is ideal for celebrating the New Year. To create a divinely beautiful design use:
- gold rubs;
- decor with pieces or strips of foil;
- painting with glitter or liquid metal;
- stencil drawings with gold gel polish.
Beautiful New Year's decor
You can simply find pictures in the store and create a New Year's manicure. The decor usually includes New Year's designs on nails in the form of pictures.
Stamping
Stamping has replaced pictures, replacing them in the “quick and effective patterns” category in just a couple of minutes. It requires 2 important elements and gel polish.
The varnish is applied to a polymer stamping plate, and then, using a stamp, is transferred to a nail that has already been prepared and coated with a base varnish. The color of the pattern will depend on the chosen varnish. If you are not satisfied with the plates that are available in the salon, you can always buy the one you like best and bring it to the nail technician or do a manicure yourself.
The price of this stamping is around 59.94 rubles.
Decals
The process of gluing pictures is simple: first prepare the nails, then apply a picture to the varnish coating and cover it with top coat. Nowadays, New Year's manicures with beautiful pictures are more often done by schoolgirls than by their mothers.
Manicures for schoolgirls are planned in 2 cases: if parents want to reward their child for studying or are trying to prevent nail biting. It becomes a pity to bite beautiful nails, and the habit gradually disappears. Bright and attractive pictures will definitely delight the little fashionista. These can be not only snowflakes, but also sets of different elements in a New Year's theme.
The price is around 158.59 rubles.
All types of pictures are suitable for gel polish: both regular and those made on a transparent basis. They are absolutely safe as they do not come into direct contact with the nail.
The price is around 41.73 rubles.
5D Holo stickers create a convex pattern on the nail. These can be wavy lines, dots, marble stains. They are attached in the same way as other types of stickers. Use it if you are tired of the usual design and don’t have time to create chic patterns.
The price is around 69.05 rubles.
Modern stickers can completely imitate a manicure and are created for those who have not had time to decorate their nails.
Very easy to apply. But the useful life of the pictures is 2-4 days - no more than that of a simple varnish with top coat. Therefore, you still need to make an appointment with the master. The price is around 97.12 rubles.
Blue and light blue tones of New Year's nails
Cool sky and deep blue tones are traditionally used for holiday designs. With the addition of a “cat’s eye”, pebbles or a pattern, they look very stylish.
New Year's designs on nails
What not to decorate nails for the New Year! Thematic designs such as Christmas trees, snowmen and snowflakes, abundantly studded with sparkles and rhinestones, sparkle brighter than a festive tree.
Examples of unsuccessful New Year's nail design Unsuccessful New Year's manicure
But any girl can achieve an incredible shine on her nails, but not everyone can do a stylish manicure in line with fashion trends. There are several rules that will help you avoid common mistakes in nail design for a New Year themed manicure:
- An abundance of sparkles and other shiny elements on the nails is unacceptable if the outfit contains a large amount of similar decorations (for example, a dress with lurex and nails covered in glitter is a sign of bad taste);
- Maintaining the same nail design style as the dress is an important condition. For example, a red manicure with funny deer faces will look ridiculous with a silk wrap dress, etc.;
- For a harmonious image as a whole, it is important to place accents. If the dress itself is bright and eye-catching, then it is better to keep the manicure calm and choose unobtrusive jewelry and accessories. When choosing a monochromatic outfit or without decoration, it is better to place emphasis on nails and jewelry.
An appropriate manicure will make the image holistic and complete, so it’s better to think everything over a hundred times in advance, and only then decorate your nails.
Christmas tree and Christmas toys
Well, what would New Year be without a sparkling Christmas tree? And you don’t have to put this tree in the middle of the room, but just paint it on your nails. In support of this theme, it is important to place images of New Year’s toys on individual nails.
Christmas tree theme in New Year's manicure
The style of the Christmas tree image can be any: cartoon, natural (painting), outline, etc. The trend is stylistic changes in the image of the Christmas tree: changing its color, placing only a part on the nail (half, top, branch), combining it with decor, etc.
It is effective to paint a holiday tree using an airbrush, but if such a unit is not available, then acrylic manicure paints and gel paints will also work. It is inconvenient to use ordinary colored varnishes when painting, since they dry quickly and do not allow you to apply an even layer of the image.
Snowflakes and winter patterns
New Year's nail art is almost complete without the use of winter patterns and carved snowflakes. It is important to use such a winter theme for a discreet manicure. It is enough to draw a few delicate snowflakes on the selected nails and you will get an unobtrusive manicure in the New Year and winter theme. The advantages of this design are versatility. That is, with such a manicure it is appropriate to attend a New Year's party, and then calmly attend school or work.
Manicure option with snowflakes
Winter patterns in the form of monograms are the most popular to use for New Year's manicure, as they look very stylish and feminine. Color solutions for such art can be different, but the trend is dark shades of the background and white drawings of snowflakes or winter patterns. In addition, decor is used: sparkles, rhinestones, foil, etc.
Father Frost, Snow Maiden and Snowman
If you tinker a lot, you can draw traditional New Year's characters: Father Frost or the Snow Maiden, and, if desired, a snowman. To make painting longer, you should use special gel-based varnishes. You can apply the image of your favorite character to your nails using special stickers.
New Year's characters in manicure
To create a “competent” and stylish manicure, do not get too carried away with the images on your nails. To make the design look neat on your nails, it is better to leave several nails without designs, limiting yourself to a single-color coating.
Winter landscapes
Drawing all the subtleties of winter landscapes takes a long time and not all masters can do it. In this case, nail art is done in different ways: they paint the nails with acrylic paints or gel polish, do airbrushing or simply use stickers.
Winter landscapes in manicure
The winter period is quite long, so the landscapes will not necessarily relate to the New Year's theme, because this season can surprise you with the snowy beauty of forests, fields or a simple village covered with snow. Auxiliary materials for creating winter effects can be glitter, foil, rubbing, etc.
Carnival masks
The theme of carnival masks can be present in youth designs, as well as in discreet manicures for stylish ladies. It is better to depict carnival masks in contrast: use dark shades on a light background and vice versa. To complete the design, it is permissible to use rhinestones, shiny varnishes, glitter, etc.

Clock at midnight
You can get a simple New Year's manicure only by drawing a clock on your ring finger that shows midnight. To enhance the effect, the nails are decorated with gold sparkles (or another color) and that’s it! But it is better for the watch to be part of the overall composition, and not a separately depicted object. For example, it is important to combine drawings of snowflakes, a Christmas tree and a clock.
Mittens and sweater with deer
A cozy and “warm”-looking manicure with the image of deer in knitting or winter accessories will look relevant both on New Year’s Eve and in the period after the celebration. Matte finishes, combining knitted manicure techniques with casting and velvet design would be appropriate here.

In this design it is not necessary to use an abundance of shiny decor. The trend is the softness of plush, which is transferred to the nails.
Asterisks
Another design that will appeal to lovers of universal manicure is images of stars. For a festive look, you can use glitter against a rich background. Stickers with stars look impressive against a rich background: blue, black, burgundy, etc. To make decoration easier, you don’t have to draw “celestial bodies”, but use star-shaped sparkles.

Glasses and champagne
Such images look great with accompanying elements: a clock, a Christmas tree, etc. The use of golden shades will emphasize the sparkle of champagne, but do not forget about the drawings of the glass itself and the additional elements that are part of the composition. For a champagne-themed manicure, you can choose a background in any shade, and sparkles are perfect for decoration.

Silver jewelry for New Year's manicure
A scattering of silver sparkles on a richly dark, like the night sky or a light background always looks mesmerizing. Pictures made with silver paint, mirror and silver coatings, and foil are also in fashion.

Fashionable manicure with glitter
An accent manicure means a design that includes applying glitter to the entire nail plate. It always looks incredibly beautiful, solemn and bold. A large amount of glitter makes the manicure bright and memorable. With such a manicure you can always look festive, which is why many people choose an accent manicure using glitter.
Nude tones of manicure for the New Year
The natural, nude-powdery palette is the undisputed leader of the season. Creamy chocolate, pinkish, milky matte shades are in fashion. Usually these colors are used to create a spring-summer mood, but, with the appropriate decor, they are quite appropriate on New Year's Eve.

@lomteva_galya
Dark orange goes well with gold - you get a real New Year's manicure combo, because both are included in the list of desirable shades for manicure.

The design does not have to be themed, because New Year's Eve will pass, but the manicure will remain. If you don’t want to spend another 2 weeks with a very specific decor, then you can choose a calmer, universal design or even cover your nails in one tone.

@pavelkonails
With yellow the story is the same - you don’t have to use sparkles, don’t add rhinestones and avoid patterns of snowflakes and Christmas trees. Light abstract design allows you to easily wear a manicure to work and business meetings after the celebration.

The discovery of modern gel polishes has freed fashionistas from having to visit nail salons every 5-7 days. A festive design made on your nails will successfully last throughout the holidays. That is why the masters advise carefully thinking through the plots, combinations of colors and combinations of styles so that they fit the evening dress and do not look alien in the following days. For shortened nails, it is better to use the moon technique or French, plain coatings with minimal decorations. Owners of long nails can use any nail art techniques, without exception.
New Year's manicure with a “unicorn tear” and abstract stains
Colorful and very stylish - this particular option can be described as such, because it is decorated with a liquid metal effect and a non-trivial design with abstract stains that look like they accidentally landed on the girl’s nails.
New Year's manicure with mercury decor and abstract stains is best done on accent nails without overloading the manicure composition as a whole, so you can make the rest of the nails matte or glossy using your favorite color.
Undoubtedly, this is only one of the possible options for implementing mercury droplets and abstraction on nails, because depending on the talent of the artist, real masterpieces may appear on the nails that will attract attention with creative nail art.
Rhinestone inlays on New Year's nails
Crystals are a great way to give an ordinary coating or design a festive look. Today, inlays reminiscent of rings, necklaces, beads or garlands are in fashion. Expressive images decorated with small shiny elements look beautiful.
